I Hate My Course So Much Now!!! by Sunclinton(op):
I studied Petroleum Engineering for complete five years and after all the struggles and frustrations i passed through in school i came out with 3.47 CGPA, i proceed to serve my father land, before then i promise myself that i will hustle to get a job in order to support my siblings in school, i started sending applications even when i was serving and after my youth service, in general i am very sure i have submitted not less than 60 applications both online and offline but i have never received any interview invite. I have given professionals my CV to re-write for me several times but all to no avail. I am really regretting studying Petroleum Engineering here in Nigeria. Please i really need a help i am dying gradually.

Baba, stay strong it's just a phase in your life. It will surely pass. You start with a low income job like teaching to keep busy while u wait ur dream job. Masters and other professionals examinations can increase ur chances to secure ur dream job

Regretting the course you studied will not help you in any way. U should not be engaging in self pity at this stage, rather u should take your future in ur own hands. If I were in ur shoes, I would take up a teaching job in a private school and teach chemistry, and maybe physics and will also hustle at Jamb/ssce classes in the evening at the nearest tutorial centre for extra cash. It may seem stressful, but It will definitely get me fed and leave little for savings.

While doing this, I will watch out for parents who come to drop their wards or check on them during open-days, I will chat them up and form a kind of close affinity with them, having taken care of their wards academic needs. While engaging the parents I will try and sell myself to them an intelligent person who has what it takes to be great if given the slightest opportunity.

Life is a journey, same thing happened to my younger brother. in his case, he graduated with first class in computer engineering, and got his masters, looked for job tirelessly until recently he got an IT job in a reputable private school by luck. My brother keep trying, e go better. Never give up.

Mtcheeew only 60 job applications and you are angry because no reply.

Do you know how many job applications I sent before I got my first interview. And do you know how many job interviews I attended before I got my first job.
I even have a book where I jot down the latter.

You better don't give up and keep been optimistic

Gone are the days when folks use to think the course you study in school determines your chances of securing a mouth watering job. Come to think of it, petroleum is a restricted profession, you can only practice that course only in an oil firm. My younger brother is also in your shoes too, he's regreting he ever studied pet.chem.My dear you just have to relax, and keep applying. I believe luck will smile on you soon.

Your write-up is full of grammatical blunders.

Could this be a contributing factor to why you are still jobless?


It has nothing to do with your field of study.
I know persons who studied Islamic studies and Christian religious studies but are gainfully employed.
Identify your weaknesses, strive to improve on them. Just develop yourself....

You may be right if your good grammar has helped you in anyway especially in the labor market.

Thank you for pointing out my mistake.

It was an omission.

yea, but you shouldn't have attached the grammatical blunder to his lack of getting a good job.

Yes, there are blunders in his post like almost all our comments sometimes. The op said he does not get invite even after given his CV to the professionals which means he is not allowed to prove himself.

I highlighted his errors because that alone could deny him of securing a job.

Which HR will gladly employ someone who cannot write legibly?

Do remember that most job applications requires one to also send a Cover Letter along with his Curriculum Vitae.

Now if a professional (according to you) has edited and proof read his Curriculum Vitae, can we say same about his Cover Letter too?
