Bros mechanical engineering is a very shitty course. I did marine engineering which is a subset of mechanical engineering and the jobs do not even exist. It is not a matter of applying. Go online on job sites and you would hardly see any jobs for mechanical engineers. It is also the same for petroleum, chemical and a lot of other sectors of engineering.

Better to go for something IT related. My friend studied mechanical engineering and is presently self learning data science. Just take any field of IT. Networking, web development, game development, enterprise applications, data science, mobile development and start learning. There are so many jobs in IT.

If there is any advice I’d give any body is to study IT. That’s just the future.

Check my post and understand that every graduate In Nigeria needs connection, irrespective of the course studied...

Mechanical is a course that you dont even need to work for someone but to be self employed...

Check out the name, Mechanical Engineering...
Everything is all about Mechanical in this world, the course doesn't need advertisement...

Bro if you truly want to establish a business in mechanical engineering, you need a lot of capital! Nigeria is also not a good place to start such a business, no electricity, the manufacturing industry is dead, to even buy the machines you’d need to setup something, Omo the money no be here o.


Why study a 5 year program to repair generators, common bro! You could just cut that time by 1/5th do apprenticeship and you would be 4 years on the job by now!
Baba think big!

After the creation of the world, God handed his tools to the Engineers.

The whole world revolves around mechanical...
Tell me one thing that was not designed by Mechanical Engineers, directly or indirectly?

Do your research properly...
I stand to be corrected...

I don’t think he is bashing the course,
He is just saying that in Nigeria, getting a job in that field needs connection.
I stand to be corrected sha

This is the issue with studying in Nigeria, the persons exposure is very limited. You studied one of best courses ever and you calling generator repairs.

Dude, mechanical engineering is very broad. The skill that you can easily put on your cv as a mechanical engineer is design, learning CAD softwares and be good at them. I don’t know how viable this is in Nigeria though. However, you could go into IT and learn programming, forget that talk that you are not a computer whatever, you can do it. Do survey which it skill is in demand, put head down learn it and trust me you will be good.


Browse things that improve you, research latest technologies etc where the world is heading too. That’s how you get exposed!
