DJMONACO: wen I become a biz man after grad ,10 million will be notin to me.

ayusco85:

keep dreaming. who explores for the oil and gas that are buried under earth? is it the engineer? go and read more about geology.

#ProudlyGeologist naturally ahead of any engineering discipline

nonsovich: Op abeg no vex o...what abt geography.....how much too?

Capableben: Reading tru this thread, I acquired a new sense of zeal, encouragement and passion.I will put in my best for d best result, may God help me, undergraduate, futyola, chemical Engr...

i mean you mentioned doctors,nurses and pharmacy and you didn't say anything about medical laboratory science. From your suggestions so far , you kept on giving biochemist and microbiologist a false hope that they will work in clinical laboratory. Your facts are not right at all.

Journalists –– editors to be precise –– with five to 10 years experience and they offer between N40,000 and N60,000 per month. . This is unbelievable!!!

alentyno: Although the importance of hard work cannot be overemphasised in any chosen profession, experts have said that studying some particular degrees will not only give you an edge in the job market, it also determines the amount of income you take home at the end of the day.

For example, in the oil and gas sector, petroleum, mechanical, chemical and electrical/electronics engineers at an entry level earn as much as N3.5m per annum, depending on the organisation.

Other high paying engineering fields include software engineers and computer engineers who employ IT skills, whether they are in the oil and gas sector or the telecommunication sector. They stand to earn as high as N400,000 per month for a start, and it could increase to about N5m to N15m per annum, depending on the years of experience.

A fresh engineering graduate in the oil and gas sector could earn between N7m and N9m per annum, which goes higher to about N12m or N15m per annum after five years of experience.

engineers in the oil and gas sectors earn the same salary, notwithstanding the area of specialisation at the entry level, until they undergo in-house training graduates with non-engineering courses like computer science, information technology, software programmers with professional certifications which include JAVA, CISCO, ORACLE and other networking skills working in the telecommunications companies would get between N200,000 and N750,000 as starters.

An Oracle specialist, database programmer, manager and software experts with five to 10 years’ working experience in a telecoms company will earn between N5m and N15m per annum.

Suffice to say, all the aformentioned top earning degrees have one thing in common ––mathematical skills.

Graduates of Economics, Accounting, Marketing as well as Banking and Finance and other business related fields working in the banking and investment sectors also get fat salaries before the recent down-sizing in the sector, a fresh graduate at the entry level in any of the new generation banks earned between N2m and N2.5m per annum.

Fresh accountants could earn fat paychecks of about N2m per annum if self-employed or working in private and multinational organisations, government still had a poor salary scale for this level of professionals.

Marketers, also known as business development officers, could earn between N50,000 and N300,000 monthly at the entry level, depending on the level of results achieved and the organisation hiring.

Medicine, law, nursing and pharmacy, which were the hot cakes in the 70‘s, 80‘s and 90‘s, were no longer paying as well as they used to be.

This is the age of the mind; the age of creativity.

It has been noted that medical doctors were poorly paid. “In fact, they are only paid living allowance when you compare them with their colleagues in engineering and telecommunication.

In government hospitals, at entry level, doctors are paid less than N1m per annum. But they could earn higher if they specialise and become consultants.

In the medical line, specialists, including obstetricians, cardiologists, gynaecologists, dentists and surgeons were the highest earners any of these specialists working in reputable hospitals like Reddington Hospital in Lagos could earn N750,000 and above monthly.

A nurse in government hospital in Nigeria earns less than N100,000 per month. Their pay could rise to N400,000 when they become matrons.

Pharmacists are not left out; most pharmaceutical companies pay fresh graduates between N500,000 and N900,000 per annum, and it could increase to N2m or N3m after about eight- or nine-year job experience.

Teaching profession is not that competitive, a teacher’s take home pay was between the range of N50,000 and N70,000 per month in some secondary schools, and could be as high as N200,000 per month in some other schools.

Journalists –– editors to be precise –– with five to 10 years experience and they offer between N40,000 and N60,000 per month.

Lawyers do not earn much. fresh lawyers could earn between N50,000 and N120,000 per month depending on the chambers or organisations they work for.

Geosciences forns the bedrock of the E&P industry. Without them the whole oil to tank chain will not take place

alentyno:
Simple and short. That's the spirit. Just focus on being the best and you won't regret it
Don't mind those saying that they are tons of unemployed engineers out there
The stats don't concern you! Just be the best!

cutiedave: wow,dis sounds nice.bt i need ur advice on dis issue.
i got admitted into yabatech last yr to study mech.eng bt couldn't resume bcus of d poly strike. Bt during d course of d stike,i obtained d jamb form to study mech.eng in unilorin.recently i had to change to mathematics bcus i dident meet mech.eng cutoff mark.
ma question is-should i continue with mech.eng in yaba or mathematics in unilorin?And which has better job opportunities.TANX

Thank you BRO, Are u also an Engr?

Eefhay: You seem to have lost the relativity when you singled out oil companies as yard stick to measure values of engineers. How much do federal and state governments pay Engineers as compared to medical workers in the same establishment. How much do oil companies pay medical doctors. at least in any teaching hospital, you have almost all professionals be it engineers, accountant etc.. and in oil companies also, they have medical workers... Its when you compare based on establishments you tend to define lucrative.

Insanity:

You can't compare the rate for Engineers and doctors in an engineering establishment, you already know who's gonna be paid more. I really don't understand what the argument is all about, Engineers work in those companys and they're paid based on those rates he quoted, even higher. Do you want him to state wrong figures?

In reality, I have friends that are doctors, they earn more than some engineers, but still We have engineers earning more than doctors, is that a problem? heck, We've accountants that earn more than doctors and engineers, in doubt ask Oga Jarus. So, even if you say doctors earn more than engineers, a lot of engineers still earn more than doctors, so We keep on going round and round.

Personally, I think We should be worried about our own values as individuals, our monthly income (not salary), striving to be the best in whatever We do. Be happy with what We have as We hustle to get more.

Take Care.

opey25: nice response,I think most medical students and doctors are on this forum are intimidated by the figures the op posted about d income of engineers in multinational companies.I think it is only in the federal civil service that doctors earn more than engineers.most engineers in private companies earn more than doctors in both public and private sector.
