I noticed alot of Biochemistry graduates are out confused, some are even considering the option of going for a second degree in Pharmacy or Medicine. While some are considering the option of Masters, known that master program do not guaranty employment but increases the hope of getting employed. The course seems not marketable. 4 Likes 1 Share |

The Nigeria of today, what matters more is ur graduating grade and your ability to easily switch over to any career you find an opportunity in. A good number of Engineers/Scientists are working as Accountants/Tax consultants in Accounting/Auditing firms. Many Biochemists, Zoologist, Vet doctors and co are in the banking/ Telecom/IT sectors. I know people who read Microbiology, Biochemistry and Agric related courses in the Oil and Gas sector today. My former MD who runs one of the most respected Petroleum Geology servicing companies in Nigeria had a first degree in Zoology! What determines more the career you'll pursue is the working environment you'll find your self and ur ability to acquire numerous skills to be able to compete with different professionals. I read Geology but my first working experience was in a bank. 24 Likes 5 Shares |

See at OP, you can specialize in any area and still be very jobless! Specialization most cases doesn't increase marketability! I have discovered that 80% of people are not working in their area of study! That's just the way the country is now! My advice is for you to learn as many skill as possible( from IT to project management) and hustle for any jobs without limiting yourself to your field. Remember the No1 priority is to earn a living and survive. 8 Likes 1 Share |

A bachelor's degree in biochemistry opens doors to a wide variety of careers. Although many biochemists work in traditional laboratory and research environments, others find career opportunities in fields ranging from business and sales to consultation and law. If you have a bachelor's degree, career options include: ..laboratory technician ..quality control technician ..associate chemist ..technical sales or service representative ..analytical chemist ..clinical technician ..research assistant ..secondary school teacher ..testing and inspection professional ..non-research position. An advanced degree earned through a graduate program can lead to even more professional opportunities. 3 Likes |

Biochemistry is a great course of study but unfortunately there are limited opportunities in our country. There are couple of great organization and lab that dots the country which can offer some opportunities. The breweries, beverage and food companies also can offer some opportunity Aside this, be ready to do some post graduate studies. It is good to be a biochemist in the developed world. 1 Like |

This has been discussed before 1. Become a lecturer 2. Your services in multinationals like brewery uac pharmaceuticals and other food or snacks producing companies multinationals is needed 3. Work for smaller outfits as factory workers 4. Teach in secondary schools 1 is the easiest path, 2 is the ideal path because multinationals have very good packages and the experience can be great. 3 and 4 can be frustrating, pay is small and or you work longer hours. 2 Likes |

Tosinayoko:Getting a masters if you can or really interested in bch is ideal but then you need a phd alongside. Master holders now are much especially for bch where we don't have enough industry to absorb all the graduates. Most go back for masters and they still have to settle for jobs of 50-70k. But with a phd you should be very ok with the offers you will get. There is always the option of becoming a lecturer which is very possible with a phd 2 Likes |
