The risk and suffer-head there too much abeg

Why did you say so?

Firstly, it's my view that it'll be a mistake chasing after oil and gas solely, while you can have good career and money there, it's more like burrowing oneself into a corner, do a conventional engineering course and if in the end oil and gas is appealing to you, your chances of getting in is still good. So keep an open mind.

The day I walked into the subsea engineering department of one of the oil majors, all the engineers there are civil engineers, with electrical engineers for control part, etc. Core engineering disciplines have better chances everywhere.

Between geophysics and electrical, I think it's best if you continue with electrical engineering, if you have passion for it, and if you can get the direct entry, even though you have gone 2 years in geophysics, I think it's a matter of how well, rather than how fast. It's always the best to focus on one area and attain mastery.

I don't know much about the institutes you listed, but a research or asking the right persons will tell you if they can offer the certification you're looking for, AWS or CSWIP is a good one.

Lastly still do your own research too, as your own background and situation are peculiar to you.

God bless you. You never make mistake in life.

Urgent Advice needed. I have upper class in electrical electronics (ND level) 3.02cpa.

The course was not accredited in time but It has been accredited last year and I have obtained the certificate.

While waiting at home, I opt for geophysics at a university.

Should I continue with the geophysics, note, I am at 200 level. OR get a direct entry form and go into electrical electronics engineering proper?.

I can do well with numbers and Physics.
Secondly, which of these training school is popular in the oil and industry:
1 Gabson Professional School of Safety and Engineering Ltd,
2 Mudiame Welding Institute Limited,
3 Skytraine International Limited,
4 BOMI Steel and Pipeline Engineering Company Limited.

Which of them can offer me an American society for welder certificate (AWS).

Thirdly which skills are the most in-demand in the oil sector currently?

I need your honest advice please because I am in a fix.

My heart goes out to those who have contributed to this thread. I will take every piece of advice to heart. No one who has contributed useful advice here will make mistake in life.
I have met my HOD, he gave me two conditions 1 if my GPA is still in the Ist class level, He will not let me go. 2. He will advise me to go to electrical electronic If I were his boy because I am good with numbers.

Continue with the Geophysics you were doing.

please why I do that, please?

<<<<Identify the Course/ career paths that you were comfortable with...
<<<<Identify the career path/ courses that seems like a big chore.... The one that looks like you were studying to prove a point to someone?..
<<<<Identify the career path/ course you can study effortlessly even when you have a hangover/did not study it, you can write and get a C...
<<<< Weigh the options, Ask yourself some questions on why you were doing this? Is it for the future prospect/ because there there was no job in the country and I have to study it to survive or is it because it's what I like to do in future?
I will suggest while making this almighty important decision, go to a quite place probably to a river side or stream or a park alone... Your heart will help and guide you... Good luck..

Thanks so much.
