Hello my fellow nairalanders, how una dey?

I've been on for quite some time now and I've been enjoying visiting nairaland(can't stay without it for a day)

To the main business..

I'm an SS3 student currently writing my WAEC examination. I also wrote JAMB this year and scored a considerable mark, 231.

But then I have a problem with career choice.
I'm a science student with fairly good academic grades(I didn't struggle much to make excellent ones cos I'm Just not a fan of that).

During my JAMB registeration process, I opted for FUTO( Federal University of Technology Owerri) and Computer science as the course. It's not like I wanted to attend FUTO but I just had to put in something due to pressure from my parents to register early before the late entries.

The obvious fact is - I love computers, programming, design e.t.c. I have so much passion for them especially designing. But(there's always a but) most of my friends(both graduate and undergraduate) and my parents have been discouraging me from studying computer science. Reason being that it's not a lucrative course in Nigeria(I don't share the same opinion with them though but I don't have an idea on how to make it lucrative for me).

A friend of mine suggested to me that even if I finally want to go for a computer related course, I should go for computer engineering and not science. His reason - engineers are more appreciated in Nigeria than scientists. He also suggested I go for Electrical electronics or pure electronics engineering.

JAMB change of course and institution ends on 17th April(this month)

Please friends I really need your suggestions ASAP.

Also, I forgot to mention, I'm a little good in mathematics and also a further Maths student(don't confuse me to be math whizkid but I really know my ins and outs when it comes to maths).

Now with all my math skills, I really thought I'd fit in almost perfectly in the higher institution in computer science but it turns out that most of my friends studying computer science encounter very little mathematics(which is sometimes borrowed from Maths department).

So..

Should I still go for computer science or computer engineering(any one would do, really!) ?

What institutions in Nigeria have good ICT facilities and computer science prestige(even if I don't end up studying computer science I'll still be able to meet a lot of gurus) ?

All sorts of criticism is allowed - constructive, insultive, destructive(abeg if u dey plan to give this one that means u carry me for
mind enter this thread )..

Thanks.

well i wish u the best and i suggested u to go with computer science because is ur interest and interest is the most considered factor in career choosing so computer science is gud.EVEN ME IAM AT COLLEGE STUDYNG PHY/COMP.

Bukites students we are highly invited u to ths wondrful site to share ideas concern our great university,to help new student

Please any buk student here? so i need help.

I love my mom,he carried me for 9month undergo lot of difficulties,suffered alot of change in their physical appearance aswell as internally but some when their bcm bigman their give care to their wives morethan their mothers.why?

simiolu1:

from ur post, I deduce that U're studying Education. Be aware that any of this combo is a good one. Either Phy/Maths or Phy/Com. All tha best!

thank u for ur concern

CrazyMan:

Good luck and success in your choosen career path.

thank u alot

Fulaman198:


They are interrelated and both have various fields. What do you want to specialise in?

i computer science

bayero university kano course physics08083717242

iam happy with this thread iam currently at college study math/phy as my course at pre level but fortunately passed my pre with cgpa of 4.52 iam happy nd unfortunately the college change my kos to phy/comp to fit my teachng job math/phy is more convenient but i take it.pls can anyone tell me that when i apply fr degree bsc.physic is necessary to work as a teacher at ss level

that is gud enough i appreciate ur intention,intend to get marriage is more valuable,gud than raping or adultery or other sexual crime believe me

CrazyMan:

I would suggest you go for computer science. Computer science is mathematics if you ask me, cos you'll end up taking mathematics courses till you graduate. So in the end you can refer to yourself as a computer graduate and a mathematician. Mathematics on the other hand is more like a solo course, even if you offer computer courses it would be the general computer you would do in your first year; so you'll end up having very little knowledge about computer.

Secondly in the area of jobs, the employment market would be more favourable to a computer graduate than a mathematician.

i really appreciate ur concern nd i now covince my self that comptr as my fuure career

Champella:
I'm seeing this late. All the same, i'll just give my little input.


I suggest you go for Electrical Electronics Engineering instead. You have to think of widening your chances in the labour market. Electrical Electronics Engineering cuts across every industry - Telecommunication, Power, Construction, IT, Maritime, Oil & Gas, Agriculture, Aviation, Banking, etc


Simply google the job prospects of this discipline to clear your doubts. Another good field which stands out just like Electrical Electronics Engineering is Mechanical Engineering.


Try and find out from others about these two fields i've mentioned to get their views. Hope this helps?

Good luck brother!

thank u and i really happy with ur fantastics advice,but my concern is btm those two

Chidonc:
Am kneelin down 2 beg u bro, go wit computer science oh

thank u bro. I really appreciate ur concern on my career insha Allah i will

thank i really appreciate ur advice. Add me at whatsapp08083717242

please with regard of situation of our beloved country of job opportunities i need advice Bsc.mathematics or computer sci. Pls abeg dont view and pass without saying something

what of computer science and mathematics which is best

we already knew the role of those two suitable courses in the field of science as well as other faculties,is the language of all subjects mathematics play a vital role in any field of study. Physics is the backbone of sciences. Iam a student at start iam at ijmb level i prepared to choose math or physics as my career pls advice and moral lesson frm our great masters.

please add me bayero university kano08083717242 dept.of sci. Bsc.physics
