all i see is combine it with this and that!!!

Brother we are Nigerians and we love u, u ve got a tough row ahead witha course like that. the effort at securing a job with that course can be demoralising if u not jighly and well placed in the scheme ofg things

however listen to your advisers who asked u todo the combo

Kenfort:
you are very myopic. Physics and chemistry are the foundations of science and graduated in such fields have almost limitless opportunities. It might interest you to know that a chemistry graduate is qualified to in areas as diverse as patent law.

Deceive yourself .Olodo like you. You'll end up in my private school. This is Nigeria Ode.

Alusiizizi:


I suppose that I should have qualified my statement with "in my opinion" given the admittedly subjective nature of this discussion, but the truth is that as long as all ponderable matter comprises of sub-atomic particles, and all of Gods creations are composed of them, physics is the only route to gaining insight into the architecture of God.

Yes it is your opinion but it is illogical and lacks imagination and assumes too much

Insight itself is a function of Mind.

Yet physics cannot tell us anything about mind.

Even physics would not tell you that it is the only route to anything
You assume that the human mind is the highest level of mind or single cell organism cannot gain this "insight"
Who is to say that higher minds than the human mind do not exist and that such minds cannot gain insight into phenomena EFFORTLESSLY?

You are making a very dogmatic claim that has no basis in logic or reason

eddynaira125:
If is possible, please run from that course, u will regret at d end, get a jamb form now n go for civil engineering, I study physics with a nice grade, so don't joke with this advise

Please don't discouraged this guy. I studied Physics and am doing well with it in the labour market.

I'm a graduate of physics, with a cgpa of 4.1
Currently working with Caverton, and I have plans of going for a program in aviation(ATC) . Of which physics is one of the requirements.
If possible, go for a masters in aero physics.


Thing is physics no friendly at all. If your head no Carry am, go for something else(to avoid plenty carry over). But if you really want to study it, do your research properly, the opportunities for a physicist, are numerous.

I hope you choose wisely. Cheers

brownskilo:


This was Bedc job requirements two years ago.A friend of mine who studied physics is currently working in their electrical engr department.they organised a very good practical training for them and that was what it.

Olodos everywhere.. So because a hospital employed an accountant means the accountant will work as a doctor abi?

Many are in jail for quackery I hope you and your criminal friends get arrested for your crimes.

I don't comment online but let me do this, I also had this mentality, I wanted to study medicine, i was given admission to study physics, I was reluctant to go, church elders were called to convince me to go and I thank God for it today, I finished serving in 2019, got a good paying graduate trainee job as a data analyst(the company picked me specificallybecause of my numerical background), I left earlier this year and currently a Graduate trainee in a oil n gas company...all because of physics. Make sure you get a 2:1 and hope you are young(around 25 or younger by the time you'd be done with service). There are a lot of options for you especially in data science/analytics

It's useless to people that doesn't know what they are studying.

All the guys i know that study physics are working in top financial firms, engineering and core IT companies.

No sir, it is not a useless course.

You can fare well in
Engineering Physics
Nanotechnology
Material science Engineering
Smart Engineering systems
Embedded systems
Complex systems engineering
Astrophysics
Industrial electronics
Microelectronics systems...
The list is non exhaustible, prepare yourself to leave Nigeria for your MSc in one of the course listed above and come back as a big shot and invest in Nigeria.
Remember me when you achieve this feat.
Btw, I studied Industrial physics and I work with a telecommunication infrastructure provider but to quit soon for a master in smart systems engineering

Cheers,

Don't mind all those telling you physics is irrelevant.

Physics is very relevant. However, don't expect that the stuff you're taught in school is still relevant.

So, if you want to make money from physics after school, you need to hit the internet, identify the trending and in demand fields of physics in today's world. Then go to YouTube and watch courses. You may also try Edx for courses.

That's if you have a strong passion for physics and you want to earn a living with physics.

Else, you may do like most other people; dump your certificates and start a business or learn a completely unrelated skill like web development, graphic design, tailoring etc.

The only valid advice from me is, further your degrees to Ph.D and try to get a lecturing Job either abroad or a well to do a well to do Private University in Nigeria, so you would probably become a Professor that's is the only Income earning profession I know of if you don't want to deviate to Engineering or I.T (coding and programming,)

Please let us know those criminals that read physics and working as Engineers. They are killers and potential killers. I will send their names to COREN

You and COREN need to shed this archaic mentality. I wonder why Nigeria and our educational structure is so rigid.
As for your question, some of them were my professors in school and some were colleagues at work. An in case you are wondering, they are not based in Nigeria but in the UK which most of you at COREN only dream of. By the way, I am COREN registered.

It is not.
Ensure, you get a 1st Class or a 2.1.
Contribute to research papers- journal articles, conference paper or an academic article on Medium or The Conversation.
Learning a programming language, coding, data analysis skills, etc.
Get your IELTS done.
Then look for a MSc abroad. You will get one.
Leave and pursue a MSc & a PhD. You can get a PhD, fully sponsored, if you have a 1st Class.
The world will open up to you.

Sunkyapogee:

That course is almost useless in Nigeria.. That sector is not working.

Sometimes I feel crude is a curse to Nigeria , na crude oil bad leaders cos all these na

feedthenation:
---Studying physics is very important if you have the head for it---the opportunities are endless in almost every sector home and abroad---if you the chance try to relocate abroad for better opportunities---

To some extent it is an artificial argument.
We all study physics to one degree or another. Even if we do not study it we are aware of it and that is why some study it more intently
We are aware of space ,matter, gravity ,electricity and momentum. We are aware of applications of this phenomena e.g. car brakes/accelerators, light switches and cooker thermostats
Boxers , footballers hunters , soldiers are all aware of these phenomena


The distinction into what is physics , chemistry biology etc is entirely man made.

Matter , space and energy are not aware of those distinctions and phenomena including "life" just happen

Which makes you more dangerous because you know the law but decided to break it.

Whoever told you a professor is above the law in Nigeria. You know nothing about the UK and their stringent laws on professional courses.

You and your fellow criminal accomplices will get your day in court when they finally arrest you.

A physics degree provides all the needed background to become an Engineer, if self determined, a physics graduate can become a registered engineer.

Forget about the stupid rules in Nigeria.

Physics as a course is the bedrock of science and engineering.

My son graduated with a second class upper at Unilag, did his masters in physics at Unilag, got employed by AXA as a back end programmer for about 18 months, and presently on scholarship in the United State as a graduate assistant in a university and also studyibg for PhD in physics all paid for by the States.

The gospel truth is that, you must first have passion for what you do to be able to excel in it.
Understand the course very well, you could become an inventor. Physics is beautiful

And overall sir, must know the course thoroughly and not for the sake of just to be graduate as 90% of those who studied it be......half baked.

Quantum mechanics... I fear who no fear that course...

This question of yours and those advising you to abandon the course simply shows that you may be in the university, the university isn't yet in you.

Apart from your lectures, what other things do you read?

Education is more than that paper in your hand called degree by the ignoramus, the real degree is a combination of the knowledge in whatever course of study you're into, and relevant information about what's going on around you and in the world.

This is the problem of education in Nigeria.

Physics is the heaviest and the most diversified course in the whole of science and engineering. The toughest if you need to know.

So if you're having better grades thus far in your school, count yourself lucky but ignorant

You had better make use of that smart phone in your hand to know more about the world, and leave the camp of the Joneses in Nigerian schools.

Olajah81:


Physics is not a friendly course ooo.

Unless u want to ba teacher.

Those who attend uniabuja will knws beta

That's the only science course in Uni Abuja, they almost run me down.

You are making a very dogmatic claim that has no basis in logic or reason

As long as the universe can be reduced to fundamental particles and their interactions then you are wrong. The mind is made of neurons. Neurons are made of (organic) molecules, molecules are made of leptons and hadrons(electrons, protons and neutrons). Electron/nuclei interactions are mediated by the electromagnetic force. Neutron/Proton consists of quarks and inter-quark interactions are mediated by the strong force. This whole complex is described(tentatively) by the standard model of particle physic. So you see, everything experienced and everything that **can** be experienced can be reduced(tentatively) to particles and interactions, which are **tentatively** described by the standard model of particle physics. I use the qualification "tentatively" because even the standard model is demonstrably incomplete. Why so? Because it is built with the assumption that gravitation(as described by the general theory of relativity by Albert Einstein) does not exist. The reason that this is so is at least 2-fold. 1) The standard model without any account of gravity can describe with unprecedented accuracy the results of all know high energy particle experiment. 2) A comprehensive theory that accounts for both quantum physics and gravity is a puzzle that has eluded at least five generations of some of the most powerful minds in physics, but we yet forge ahead driven by the hope that one day, that this "mother of all theories", a "theory of everything" will eventually be obtained, and at such a time, everything and anything, including your music, consciousness and such will be reduced to nothing more than particles and interactions. Infinite variety of manifestations, one physical law. God is truly great indeed!!

If you're leaving this country. it's a good course.

With a physics degree you can:
- apply for masters or certificates in engineering, physics, environment,
- apply to medical school
- apply to law


Even in Nigeria, a good physics teacher makes 100k to 200k based on salary from a top school plus from lessons.

Future physics courses will need physics teachers, lecturers and professors. You would need a physics degree for that.

Hello, who says you must be a teacher as a Physics graduate...lie. I graduated from he dept of Physics of University of Ibadan. I even had an MSc with same Uni. Presently, I am a strong hand in the ICT Industry with specialty on IBM Infrastructures and Solutions. My Physics background really pave this way for me. It really prepared me for this. As a Physics student back then, I had always know I would end up becoming an IT Specialist. Bros., you have a great future before you as a Physics Student. Enjoy what you are doing and trust God to lead you after your first degree. Cheers

Sir, don't mind the mediocre engineer.

Even elon musk the chief engineer at space X, has a degree in physics.

Physics is a good course, as it can be applied in most fields of engineering and can comfortably fit in where a mechanical and electrical engineers work.

apart from private schools and trying to go further to do your M. sc and PhD and becoming a lecturer. Studying Physics is as useless as not even having a degree at all, my wife studied Physics and I can boldly tell you that Agricultural students has far more chance than Physics student.

This kind of opportunity is rare. Two, no one knows how connected you are or how deep your pocket is.
Studying many courses in Nigeria is like wasting of time, simple.
