Pharmacy is cool, but no course is best in Nigeria if you no get connect.
Whichever you choose, plan to travel to a sane country after your studies.

oyejideogunjumo:

To avoid frustration, go for Pharmacy.
Anything Engineering is not ripe for Nigeria because there no enabling environment to practice.
The best is to be a teacher or lecturer .
But you can easily set up your own pharmacy if you don't get job.
Now that government hospitals are not working well everyone furn to private hospitals.
You may join them to save a life or too.
My own opinion

Latidoh1:
Pharmaceutical Engineering.

hakeem4:
I am a civil engineer and I would definitely advise you to do civil engineering.

Nigeria is a developing nation, construction going up and down, you would definitely see jobs to do.

don't worry about quacks in the building industry. most clients would still call you when their buildings and other structures start experiencing cracks.

Shile981:
Even with my OND in Civil Engineering, I feel like a graduate of Medicine and Surgery who has spent 8years or more in school.
I'm not trying to be exaggerating, Civil Engineering is a course that would open doors of opportunities for you because of the several others careers under CIVIL, the mother of all Engineering.
Go for Civil Engineering, it is not just interesting but also lucrative.

Rgade:
Omo I’m studying civil Engineering and everyday I feel like I’m making a mistake.
Everyone I know that studied civil all rushed off into IT.
The thing with engineering is that there hardly exists any kind of career structure like with the medicals. So na struggle you go struggle tire.
Being a brilliant engineer won’t cut it; you need to be a ferocious hustler. All the people talking about life changing engineering contracts; ask those that got them what they went through to get it.....and how forthcoming are the contracts self.
If you check the field, the engineers that make it the most are those ones driven by passion.
This passion begins to manifest straight from UG days; you will always see them complaining about not getting enough practical knowledge from the department; then they start pushing beyond school, getting practical knowledge outside of school work. They put themselves through so much stress but they seem to be enjoying this stress. Only with passion will you survive here.
Summarily, civil engineering is rewarding but get ready to live an extremely stressful life.
Unlike pharmacy and other medicals; you will never be comfortable working a “routine” engineering job.

Which of these course guarantees a better life after graduation?

Ps: I have passion for medicine and surgery but I don't want to pursue that passion cause of the length and complications of studying it in Nigeria. So I am looking for a better alternative in either pharmacy or civil engineering, please I really need your sincere opinions(preferably from experts in either fields).
Need something lucrative in Nigeria and abroad(the money is needed oo, studying in Nigeria is hard enough).

Zeeknow3245:

If Civil Engineering is the mother of Engineering where does Mechanical engineering fit? Father?

akeentech:
If you’re talking about outside Nigeria both of them are okay but in this present Nigeria situation they’re useless. I rise

KunleyY19:
First of all you must be very brilliant to be able to have the two options on your table. That's a plus to you. But if you do some critical soul searching you will find the aspect of science you feel more comfortable with. A potential Civil Engineering Student should be comfortable with Physics, Further Mathematics, Technical drawing and the likes. While for a Pharmacy student you should be really good with Biology and Chemistry and Mathematics. Fine you might have passed all of this courses in secondary school but I will advise you to pick the one that comes more natural to you.

Now the worst assumption anyone can give you is that Engineering is not worth it in Nigeria . That's a big lie, some Engineering might not be worth it but trust me Civil Engineering is worth it if you are well grounded in school. I have friends in my class that currently have cars and all came from executing projects whilst we are still UG's. Emphasis on the word knowledgeable. The thing with Engineering is that most students don't realize theirselves until after two years of graduation. But person wey don grab since UG will be making it well. Well I don't know the opportunities that are abound for pharmacy students. I can only speak about Civil.
With Civil Engineering you're spoilt of choices. Well I will still advice you to do some deep soul searching and choose the one that comes easy to you simple. But if you must do Civil Engineering you must be ready to sacrifice you all because incompetence is not rewarded in Engineering and we cannot cover our own mistakes like those in the medical line. To stay ahead of thousands of Civil Engineers currently you have to bring your A game to succeed. And also study Civil Engineering with an Entrepreneurship mindset if not you might end up building people houses and not have one for yourself. Good luck.

With Civil Engineering you fit Dey see at all at all side hustle oh.


I’m into real estate as side hustle and I can bet you that the future is construction

bnovative:
If you have passion for medicine, why not go for it. If you were to work in Nigeria, a medical doctor is placed above every other area of discipline. Let me break it down. A medical doctor entry point to service is level 12, while an engineer without Coren is level 8. Pharmacist is placed at entry point of 10.
A medical doctor at entry level 12 earns better than a deputy director at level 16.
A pharmacist earn better than an engineer.
Abroad, a medical doctor stands a better chance of gaining entry into western countries and you can google the pay.
If you can't do medicine, go for pharmacy.
My 2 cent.

Luther366:
Civil Engineering One good Contract will change your family History....Thank me later

dominion001:
you have to first Channel your ambition tru a particular field then u can make a choice Withing the field. Pharmacy and Engineering are totally two different fields.

mechanics:
Okay, I still prefer civil engineering.

Femmhi:

YOU'RE FOOL. SO HE WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL STRUCTURAL FAILURES STARTS? ABI

itzitz:
How can I get in touch with you sir

I just graduated from university this year

And am searching for company to practice my profession ( civil engineering ) pending my service year.

Hopefully you can be of help sir

Shile981:

I'm not trying to debate and I didn't post that because I am a student of Civil Engineering.
If you make enquiries and research from experts and search engine, you will be convinced that this is a fact.
