One of the reasons is a selfish desire
to ensure the continued survival of
the human race. I don’t want a
future where there are more
hospitals and fewer doctors. I don’t
want an entrepreneurial engineer A/
B testing a new bridge design in
production. And I certainly don’t
want to fly cross-Pacific in a
crowdsourced airplane.
Secondly, and more importantly, not
everyone is cut out to be an
entrepreneur. Some people just add
more value to the world as engineers
or scientist or doctors than they
would if they keep having a repeated
bout with entrepreneurship. At the
end of the day, isn’t that what it’s all
about?
As much as I generally love to inspire
people who have the potential to take
on entrepreneurship, I have compiled
below a list of the wrong reasons to
be an entrepreneur. I hope it will
compel some work-in-progress
engineers and doctors to remain
steadfast in their paths and continue
to save lives and build dams and
bridges.
Please note that I don't mean
entrepreneurship in the philosophical
sense here, which is usually
referenced when implying that every
human being is an entrepreneur,
because life itself is such an
uncertain entrepreneurial challenge.
I am talking hardcore, capitalistic, big
business entrepreneurship.
So without further ado, here are
seven reasons why you will most
likely not be a successful
entrepreneur if the singular reason
you are treading the path is because:
1. You are ‘inspired’ by Facebook’s $1
billion acquisition of Instagram
(substitute your favorite insane,
outlier, M&A precedent here).
Forget it. That and similar deals are
not the norm. More importantly,
entrepreneurship is not about getting
rich, it’s about delivering
substantially more value to the world
than you take out of it.
2. You are a rock star programmer,
engineer, marketer or whatever. In
order to be successful, you will need a
rock star team. Entrepreneurial
monologues usually fall on deaf ears.
3. You are inspired by your favorite
entrepreneur role model in the
community. There is absolutely no
correlation between your role
model’s success as an entrepreneur
and your ability to be one. True,
community mentors can be a big help
and can be used as course correctors,
but you will need a lot of passion,
drive, perseverance, skill and energy
of your own to fuel your
entrepreneurial journey.
4. You scored an 'A' in a course on
entrepreneurship at your college or
university. The theory or practice
taught at universities is either very
general knowledge or very specific
practice as relates to a case study of a
particular venture or business
problem. True, you will be better
equipped to handle common pitfalls
after studying the topic, but what
makes or breaks a new venture are
issues or opportunities that are very
unique and personalized to that
particular business. Your own ability
to learn from the mistakes you make
(and you WILL make them) will
determine your fate as an
entrepreneur.
5. You have had a tough childhood
and you persevered to become a
valuable member of your society.
Great, you are a tough cookie and a
fighter, that’s all good. It’s a key
ingredient of the entrepreneurial
cocktail. But know that persevering
and fighting to survive against all
odds is different from staying the
course at a business venture. In the
former case, you can’t afford to quit
or you will perish. In business,
alongside your fighting spirit, you will
need a sharp sense of judgment that
can guide you when it may be more
prudent to pivot or quit instead of
pressing on.
6. You have access to a lot of capital.
Well, that’s just great! You have
overcome just one of the hurdles in
launching a big business. All you
need now is a great idea, an untapped
market, a stellar team, masterful
execution, an ace product, right
pricing, outstanding marketing, high
quality partners, loyal customers,
unmatched customer service and a
successful exit to succeed against all
odds from competitors and changing
market dynamics. Piece of cake, isn’t
it?
Last of all, the number one reason
why you should not be an
entrepreneur is if you are deterred,
or even shaken, by an article like
this!

Are you gonna dance ooo....if i show you your G.P

#coughs.... Wrong thread, team entrepreneur

seunwen2:
Am also a fresh graduate of Physics graduated from FUNAAB also waiting for NYSC but the step have taken so far is that have started working in a secondary school with a fair pay and have also developed my CV and have started doing underground work of seeking a well paying Job after my NYSC i would prefer to do my Post graduate program in Geophysics, Solid State/Material Science or Atomic or Nuclear Physics since money is not a problem for now #Peace

bro y geo physics
cus av been offered that course in an a university and am @ the brick of dumping it and choosing civil engineering @ a poly......pls enlighten me

op brace yourself

And the thread makes front page after two year's of creation.....

To be honest, that is hard to say because Physics is very broad. You don't need a PGDIP in elect/electronics. You would be offered straight admission to the Msc if you graduate with atleast a 2.2. You might even develop other interest apart from those two listed. e.g One of friend(a physics graduate) is a chartered account working with one of the big firms. One of my Oga back at Uni infact gained employment after graduation as a business analyst with (One of the Big 4), after 2 years, he moved to telco(one of the 4 in Nigeria). Now he works with Mobil unlimited as an exploration geophysicist. I called him Oga because I haven't in my life met someone as brilliant has that guy. He is a genius.

Another Physics graduate I know is working as a medical Physicist in one of the FMC's. I have another senior working as an instrumentation engineer in one of the Subsea engineering coy. One of my Junior is working as a welding Engineer/NDT in one of the biggest fabrication firms for the Oil and Gas industry. I don't want to mention the companies on here as the guy is on Nairaland. Another is working as a Materials and metallurgical engineering in one of the in the UK.

Yours truly worked as a Credit Analyst(UK and Nigeria), Transportation Engineer(UK). Now I am trying to get into the quality Engineering/welding/NDT sector here in Canada. That is how flexible a physics degree is. The career option you have with a physics degree is numerous, that is why they call Physics, the ''Bedrock of Engineering''. I move with the need of whichever country I find myself. Now my background in Physics is what made me so flexible.

What I can advise is that get in first, by the time you get to your 3rd or 4th year, then you can start thinking of specializing. But remember to finish strong. It would give you a better chance in the competitive job market.

My 2 cents.

bro God bless you, as i will also need your advise here
i have been offered admission by 2 institution's
1 yabatech to study civil engineering
2 aksu to study applied geophysics...
which would you advise me to go for considering the marketability of the both course and the issue of Hnd and B.sc saga tnx as u ansa






*modified @ jarus and all you guys can also help a brother in answering this....God bless

Greetings to you as you open this thread
Am in a cross-road now
I was just given admission by two institutions..
1: yabatech... To study civil engineering
2:aksu...To study apllied geophysics
please if you were in my shoe's which will you go for and reason why you would...
Thanks as ye all reply asap
