₦airaland Forum

Hello, my fellow nairalanders and career experts. I am a student of mechanical engineering in one of the prestigious Federal universities of Technology in Nigeria.


I have interest in learning Autodesk inventor(Mechanical engineering software, i have completed the training and aiming for perfection), Vector/Vexelling(Digital painting), C++ programming(A programming language), Blogging and recently i have fallen in love with Pimping of cars and other stuffs, I want to be an entrepreneur and at the same time would love to work in an oil servicing firm.

Now, i have gotten little knowledge in all of them and i am kind of learning all at the same time. I really need advice on the one to focus more on because as the saying goes;"A jack of all trade is a master of none". I am really confused right now cos i have mixed dreams.

I would need advice from everyone who has passed this stage in life and how they made their decisions because according to the recent thread which i read here on nairaland on Mistakes we make on our 20-30, i dont want to be stuck in a situation where i would realize i have made a mistake at the end.

As the saying goes; "Aim for the moon, if you miss you could hit a star" but i do not even know the moon to aim at

Forget that crap saying o.. You can be both a jack and a master
Right now i knw 3ds max and maya, learning web development and java/android programming, also have some knowledge of autocad which i aim to improve on soon

I would advise you improve on the autocad inventor, and learn c++ or java

Just know one thing, no knowledge is wasted, you should be glad you have a penchant for self improvement and learning things, same as me

With time you will experience unity
Don't forget your Mech engine too
Push yourself.... Broaden your horizon... Goodluck
Sent a pm..

I'm not a career expert btw, just a fellow guy


Mr Jarus should have something to say to you

Thanks alot for your reply. I will focus on the inventor and then i will study my programming harder. I recieved your pm and i am now trying to reply it. It seems mr. Jarushub is not active for now becasue he has not replied yet. I also had intention of learning 3ds max sometime ago when i found interest in animation. I am just feeling like i dont have a dream.

C sharp is better than c++. If u can focus on it the sky is limit. But focus on one thing o

Thanks,


I learnt java programming and was able to write a program that could predict calculations (It was a small programme tho). Later, we were thought c++ in school which i fell in love with because you dont need to debug always unlike in java where a small mistake could make the program start showing 234 errors after maybe debugging 56 errors. I found c++ interesting and easier for me and also other guys adviced me to focus on c++ since it is mostly required by companies.
