Hi,am a graduate of urp from Lautech. The one place where you can easily secure job is with the Federal,state or Local govt.But you know in Nigeria of now,what you read doesn't really matter because we have urp graduates working in banks,oil companies,IT firm etc. I for example am working for a logistics company so you can see that it doesn't matter but one advice i will give to you is that you must make sure you come out with a 2.1 no matter how hard it may seems. i hope this little bit of info is ok for you. |

URP = Urban & Regional Planning yeah? Jibson999: The class of degree issue has been overflogged already and The sleek probably suggested you graduate with 2.1 minimum so you have more opportunities (Perceived) and a good start in the job market in the job market. |
Re: U.R.P As A Course. good or bad? by Thesleek(m): 9:53am On Dec 02, 2010 |
tollu: Tollu,you are right.having a 2.1 only give a better chance in the already saturated labour market. |

thanks guys. but still contemplating whether to change to quantity surveying, since they are in the same field |
Re: U.R.P As A Course. good or bad? by Jibson999(m): 8:02am On Dec 08, 2010 |
The sleek:true talk but seems its beta one should be self employed. dont know if dat can aplly to an urban & regional planner |

One can be self employed, IF that's where you are led but then you can't knock being in paid employment. It's all about what you want to be, what you see yourself doing. If you are not looking towards anything professional i.e (Law, Medicine etc) , I think one should hav an outlook that it's just a first degree, you can always build on that. In that vein, there's nothing wrong with the URP that u've been offered. If you believe that Quantity surveying would serve your purposes better (though I don't see how). Perhaps, you should go for that. As long as U don't have to waste 1 more year. |
