Dear Nairalander, my sister had a B.Sc in Zoology couple of years ago and she couldn't find a work place that befit her course of study, she went further to obtain her Masters in Parasitology hopping to increase her chance of employment alas she still cannot find a befitting workplace. Shes presently working as a casual staff in a law firm earning a peanut and shes worried about not using her certs to get a befitting job. Please i need your help on likely companies she can apply to. thanks very much for your reply in advance.


Her best bet is teaching and research, pursue ur PH.D n lecture animal and environmental biology. Although she can actually work anywhere. Zoology is animal and environmental biology n is much more than Zoo. U learnt physiology, hydrobiology and fisheries, entomology, parasitology, molecular biology, vertebrate n invertebrate biology, environmental biology/ecology etc n can b applied in many industries

Nigeria as a whole is enough ZOO for you to work in.

You are in a ZOO and still looking for Zoo.

Dear nairalanders, I can't but just laugh when I read some reply on this thread.... grin but honestly...some issues demand seriousness from us....its sad to see a graduate trading his/her four, five and some seven years hard earned course just to end up somewhere else....I'm a graduate of Zoology with a Master's degree...we have equal opportunity to get well paid and proud job just like any other courses in Nigeria tertiary instituitions. The key factor is your grade,....you can work in any sector of the economy. but if you choose to defend your course and make a living out of it just like me...feel free send me a mail info@agrowealthng.com

Gaddafithe2nd:

Can't you read what the OP wrote. The person had his/her first degree in Zoology, MSc in Parasitology. For your info parasitology works in the lab and hospital. The people that discovered Zika virus are parasitologist. No be only SLT guys they work for labs

Parasitologists study parasites and their
relationship with their host environment, as well
as the effect this relationship may have on
humans. Parasitologists work in many fields
including medicine, agriculture and academia,
and their job duties are varied. They can focus
their studies in many branches of biology,
including microbiology and biochemistry. A
bachelor's degree is the minimum to work in
this field, and research positions call for a
doctoral degree.

OP, Please are guys staying in the village? Why are u sounding as if B Sc. Zoology is not a very good course? A pre-medical science course for that matter? I majored in Zoology for your information, and many of us are working in banks, telecoms, Oil & Gas and many other sectors. Most of us passed the aptitude tests very well and joined these firms like every other fresh graduate. Then from there, we begin to choose career paths, HR, Marketing, Sales and BD, ACA, Quality control etc and with your science background, your colleagues will marvel at your creativity and problem solving skills.
Many graduates of other disciplines are still are home like you because the jobs are scarce and therefore, you have to prove yourself and compete fiercely. The issue here, is not your course of study.
Your case is that you have not chosen a career path, what are you good at? And what do you want to do? When you went for M SC. Parasitology, what was on your mind? Remember, we are not in the USA or UK where these courses are very hot, a very intelligent classmate of mine who traveled to USA 8 years ago is now heading a Research Institute, BIG BOY! Dear, Nigeria is not into research, we buy everything.
M SC. Parasitology in Nigeria means you want to go into lecturing and I do not know why you are not working in a University now.
Well, if Lecturing is not your passion, you can go for MBA with bias in Marketing or HR Management. Once you come out, you will be very hot in the job market, target NGOs, Oil & Gas, Marine, Big Healthcare establishments, Pharmaceuticals etc.
I wish you success in your endeavor and remember that there is also the GOD factor in everything you do. You can join the teaching ministry in your church so that you will jettison all forms of timidity.

Yes that's true, most comments here are due to poor orientation, she should be able to work anywhere, yes anywhere cos there are animals everywhere, don't forget we are also animals, just higher.

I will suggest she try hospitals. She might be lucky to get a job in the lab. Ignore those comments above me, too many children on Nairaland

She can't work in a hospital Lab cos she's not a medical lab scientist.

She caan work in zoological lab as a zoologist/parasitologist.

Mr man I know nothing right but you never believed they could work in the hospital lab. We are talking about parasitology you are talking about microbiology. You know you got no point again, why digressing from the topic. Everyone knows that all discipline in this life must have a professional body. Olodo somebody.

Re: Where Can A Zoologist Or Parasitologist Work In Nigeria?(HELP) by thespokenword: 6:10pm On Mar 21, 2016
Two things here-she should tweak a little bit. She should broaden her scope in animal production rather than just to study their behaviors as entails in Zoology . With that, she could get a job as a farm manager, or stand a better chance in accessing one of FG loan/grant schemes with which she could start something meaningfully substantial.... I recommend Shanghai farms in Delta state for the skills acquisition ..... I hope I just made some uncommon sense....
Re: Where Can A Zoologist Or Parasitologist Work In Nigeria?(HELP) by Nobody: 6:12pm On Mar 21, 2016
See question, in this Nigeria. If she wants a career closely related to her course of study_ teaching/research should be her best bet.
Though study shows that the average Nigerian graduate just wanna earn good money, your opening post also made it seem the peanut she is being paid is the problem.

Had it been she is working in an organisation, earning 6digit_ you won't be asking us this question na. She should try banks if age is still on her side, there is no discrimination there.
