MrEgghead: That's because Medicine in Countries like the USA is equivalent to professional doctorates. Same as Law you do a Juris Doctor Degree. SO in those countries you don't go to spend 6 years after your first degree or pre-med course |

Bahose: That's because it's an MD (Doctor of Medicine) a professional doctorate just like law JD(Juris Doctor). Good to research in full before giving out information |

My brother ,Bleep passion oo na money be koko ...and medicine cannot give you the money to be wealthy..you’d just be ok ni ...My advice is,instead of wasting those lengthy years reading ,why don’t you just go for something else like business or something...That would be a shorter route ..all in all ,I wish you the best ! |

Another one is pursuing MBBS after degree in Nigeria doesn't just worth it; in Nigeria. If I have opportunity to go abroad, I'm taking my career further in Microbiology.

Dear if you really have strong passion for medicine,I advise you to pursue it if you have sponsors.I studied biological science and got second class upper,served and hustled with it for 2 years but I was not feeling fulfilled and my passion to be a doctor was so intense.I have to pursue that dream and travel to Ukraine in my late 20s to start medicine from year 1 and graduated in my mid 30s to God's glory. Currently I am into residency program and feeling fulfilled. You are still young and can pursue your dream.I bet you ,you will not regret it! 4 Likes |

[/quote] Well, my own acquiring of two degree was quite different. My parent allowed me to follow my passion by studying business administration. I didn't pass too well, cos I came out with 3rd class. This made my dad insist I go back to study banking and finance, 3years after my first degree. All these I did before 28yrs old. I finished my first degree at age 21. I didn't re-write jamb or waec. I went to one of these private schools that offered me direct entry to 300L. I finished the program in exactly 2years |

My bro, I advice you pursue your passion. My story bellow: My elder bro who happened to be the breadwinner of the family ask me to study nursing in uniben and also vow not to sponsor me if I study otherwise. I spent 4yrs in uniben studying nursing that made him happy... Long story short, after graduation I secured a job which I was paid 25k monthly BUT while I'm sex school I was very good in Maths, further maths & physics. I was able to save some money and I put in for poly-JAMB after successful 2 yrs of studying I obtained a National Diploma in Elect Elect Eng.(distinction) that made me to join a reputable oil producing company...Soon after joining I went straight for HND, I made Upper Credit by God's grave I'm a master degree holder and very happy with what I do. In conclusion bro, pursue your dream. 1 Like |

Pursue your passion. My wife graduated with a degree in computer science. She barely made a 2.2. She went back for BSN (Nursing) and just finished with a perfect GPA, all As in 140 credits, about 52 courses. Forget the grades, I just shared that for more details; and you can see how transformative passion can be. If what propels you is external you see challenges, but if you are intrinsically driven and passionate about something, you see opportunities. You are young and it’s worth the time. 4 Likes |

If that's what you desire. It's very possible with less difficulties than you think. : I myself, I graduated from UNN (Bsc Plant Sc and Biotech). I went for youth service and that same year took the bold step as well. I even have to write WAEC again sef bc I had 2 results which is not acceptable in medicine..... To cut the story short, I passed through all the hurdles and currently in the department of Medicine and Surgery, ESUT College Of medicine. Attimes, delays in doing things reduces the passion for it. Get up and move now, stop wishing. With determination, you are closer to ur dreams than you think. Goodluck bro 1 Like |

What is fueling your passion is important in this case, and likewise how brilliant u r too is important, cos jamb and post utme requirement for medicine is somehow competitively high, do u have the fund to pursue this course, are u considering private institution or public? Add 8 years or 9 years to ur age by then, well its better at that age. What i will tell u is pray pray and pray. See, me too dey pursue medicine like my whole life depends on it, i did jamb like 5 times and until i prayed and i was lead to choose engineering in a university, gbam i got admission then and finished well, Gods way might not be our way sometimes, all we need most time is to surrender, but if u have a burning passion telling u to go for somethings , no 1, it might be God telling you u that ur current position is not wha he wants for u but due to ur impatience u accepted ur current degree, then. No 2. it might be another time wasting strategy of the evil one. just pray about it. God will guide u 2 Likes 1 Share |

Spark2: There’s actually no limit to what you can achieve. Had my first degree in banking and finance (first class) wasn’t satisfied, I’ve gone back for another degree which is obviously my passion and I’m 3years into it already. So you see if it’s your passion then go for it. You’re still pretty much young. There are some of my classmates in sec school that are still writing jamb till date. So you see it’s not really late until you accept it is 1 Like |

I agree with the term " FOLLOW" your passion and heart in achieving and fulfilling your dreams .... Surely you should but I must remind you that studying "MEDICINE" as a course in Nigerian Universities is not as easy as it sounds.... Especially if you are a lone ranger... Most students who study this course are either sponsored by their religious organizations, societal clubs , family members , villagers, rich men etc which made the course easy: in return your favours will be required .... I will like to suggest that you should save enough financially as you embark on the medicine journey because you might not have some spare time for side hustle which leads to frustration, succidal thoughts and withdrawal from study .... Lest you forget with your age blinking in your face .... In summary it is a great choice , as per it saves Humanity . |
