Not everyone can become a doctor, as not everyone can learn to code

Modified

Plus the idea/nature of the jobs is totally different, doctor's main intention is to save life making money is just a secondary to the occupation


Common come down from there.
You'll be happy saving lives if you are treated well.
Now that government misbehave with health workers, you're talking secondary occupation.

MALIGNANTGuest:

Are you normal at all?
Although most people in Naija aren't normal.
An abnormal country can't yield normal people.
So, it's normal for a Nigerian residing in Naija to come up with such an analogy for a topic.

Nigeria needs more of NATIVE doctors and Traditional Healers than the professional, well-read Medical Doctors.
How can someone residing in a country losing its professionals to responsible countries everyday term "MBBS totally useless"?
Between Naija and these countries who needs medical doctors more?


Please IF you are a MEDICAL DOCTOR on this forum and you are not making plans of leaving that country, wateva u see accept it in good faith.
A country that channels its energy elsewhere graduating more YAHOO boys than professionals.

Do you know that you can make your points with more empathy. You don't need to be insulting, rude, arrogant and corrosive to make sense. Your points are well noted but then your tone spoilt everything

It's 4,500ghs equivalent to 350 thousand naira for full stack development. But in Nigeria to learn full stack will cost about 1m naira.. The good thing here is once you finish the 6 months course they will fix you up for internship with other company.. If you can afford it fine,it's Worth it..

Thanks and during and after the intership, what's the pay like? Pls, do conversion in naira.

Yeah 1 million a month is just 2000 dollars which you can get via remote jobs now. Medicine is good but not to practice in Nigeria. The best thing a doctor can Do Is to write foreign exams and japa after studies. My mom is a doctor presently doing her residency and she earns just 200k. I with less than a year of programming experience earn more than two times her monthly salary. If my mom was a doctor in the USA of course only very few programmers can match what she earns. The best thing doctors can do now is to japa but to even japa you need money and government has stopped paying salaries for housemanship.

Someone told me house officers are still earning this year. That they will stop earning next year.

The lowest they pay full stack developer here is 300,000 naira equivalent.. Their are about 3 available job in one telegram group I joined. The pay is Ghs7000 to Ghs8000(580 to 680k naira).
The pay here is better than Nigeria I guess.

It is much worse o. A lot of the people arguing otherwise are jambites who still have hopes of earning millions. Let them graduate and see the reality. Medicine still better pass law sha. That one is poverty personified profession.


No it's not. Law has too many practitioners and that obscures the picture. But those at the core of the business working in top firms are well paid.

So someone will do MBBS 6 to 8 years due to strike issues then go and do another course 4 years to go work In the most insecure region in Nigeria. Make it make sense please.

With your MBBS, you can do a 1 year PGD in Economics and 2 year MSc Health Economics...so you don't have to do 4 years and dude you can stay in the south and whine all you want when your mates are in the north cashing out on the problems in the north that are being tackled by grant funded research...there are folks who don't know half of what you currently know yet they are doing jobs where they are paid 500k+...so you can stay in the south and whine and complain or you get out of the country and find your way to Canada or US or you man up quit making excuses, take the bull by the horn study some more and find your way to the insecure region where there are tons of lily livered folks cashing out like craze!

Na who go give you target for grant funded research? Na who go sey make you go bring client or canvass for customers? Millions of dollars are pouring into the north yearly and less educated folks are cashing out. Even if you no wan do PGD + MSc, you can basically just do any professional programme in M&E that will take you less than a year...instead of bingeing on excuses, take action!

When the will to act is absent, excuses become king...many civilians are moving into Maiduguri to take up high paying jobs not to talk of other less insecure states in the north...and since you are too big to earn 500k+ then you have to find your way abroad ohhh...e be like sey you be boss already wey dey complain about naija. Abeg carry your kaya begin go Canada or US, leave naija for less privilege folks wey still dey struggle...see as you come dey talk like sey you dey suffer!

Yes its going to take effect from next year. Salaries will now be up to the hospitals and they can decide what to pay. So expect 15 to 50k salaries for housemanships. CMDs are very corrupt.

Lol... I think the comparison you guys are trying to make will be very hard. I mean, medicine is a regulated field of study. It is easy to know who is really a doctor whereas anyone who just learned Python control statements would come online to boast of being a programmer. People who represent the so called programming profession in Nigeria are mostly basic web developers with no specialization or solid/formal knowledge of market standard software engineering practices. Would you really compare such persons with the established medical doctors?

Lol. Baba please rest. If your mum is close to becoming a consultant, then she is a senior registrar (SR) and those in the profession know how much a SR receives monthly.

Your mum is not a Doctor or she didn't disclose her full salary to you or they are deducting her money from source, probably for a debt owned!

The trouble is that those boasters will not be able to make one kobo in the market. Even in most Nigerian institutions where nepotism is rife, software engineering/development jobs are reserved for those that are good at it, this criteria cannot be negotiated with in these modern times of hi-speed communications. Those "programmers" that are able to do little more than write "hello world" on a computer screen are quickly left on the wayside, only getting to watch real programmers move forward. They may boast all they want but at the end of the day, they are only deceiving themselves. The even more talented developers freelance, which exposes them to a global market where their income can be reckoned in thousands of $$$.
