beulah76: Geology is simply you studying the earth in it's entirety. From how rocks are formed to their structures and properties... While Geophysics mostly makes use of physics to explore the earth. It's more mathematical. I am a geophycist and loving it. Everyone to his fate. |

Admob090: Stumbled on this thread while chilling and decided to reply when free. Here goes: I am a geologist, curently doing my post graduate studies in a school and field I cannot mention here. The thing about sciences is that your success is dependent on an ability to see the big picture. For instance, there are first class graduates of geology who don't know how to apply for post graduate study or prepare a personal statement. These guys just graduated by cramming without actually learning anything. My advice is before accepting the admission sit down and draft a plan for yourself. Where do you see yourself; is it as a researcher like me or in the oil industry. For any choice you make there are skills you need to acquire during your study which will help in your future career. Don't just go in there and cram your way through else you'll regret it when you graduate. I went in to geology with an open mind not knowing what it was all about but by my third undergraduate year I was already looking at what my peers in American and British universities were doing and how I could catch up. This approach to looking beyond my environment has helped me well, and should do same for you. Cheers. 1 Like |

Geology is not a bad course at all... |

Admob090: First of all, I know say na you get the admission. No be your friend. No course makes sense outside the school environment. However, there is a branch of data analysis the is VERY hot right now that's from geology field. I think geospatial analysis or so. Deliberately develop yourself in IT in geology, and you wouldn't have problem. I did agricultural economics in school. I am working as a data scientist. Ensure you get skills beyond what your course offer. |

4gunners: Chemical engineering is wry better than PE for first degree. Those quoting me saying I should graduate first and apply for jobs lol. Mechanical engineers have more than 60% of PE jobs. It's easier for a ME to get a job than a PE...infact it's almost the same for all engineering discipline the only difference is PE having a better base payment but the fact remains that there are very few PE jobs as compared to others. I'll say it again, PE is a no-no for a first degree. |
Re: Is Studying Geology A Good Choice? by ben1daEbiri(m): 8:33pm On Jun 20, 2021 |
Bunsenbun: Someone else agrees with me too. PE as first degree is a trap!!! I'm in my finals and found out late,no one really told me about how difficult getting a job is,only concentrated on getting a fat pay even though it's true buy where are the jobs? I intend on running my afters ASAP on either chemical engineering or Geophysics. |

Myketuale: Bros, they are all in the same category..... Majority of my biochemist friend are either working as a lab attendant or in the marketing department of a bank, just not to stay idle.... Nigeria doesn't have dreams for its graduate... No Nigerian graduate is lazy, is not easy to graduate in any of the Nigerian tertiary institutions 1 Like |

trilobite: How did applying for a post graduate become an achievement? What if they are not interested in postgraduate? I one said to myself that if I don't earn with my B.Sc., I wouldn't bother with any postgraduate. Luckily, it didn't take long before I got a job. |

Hassanmaye: The main reason is that the number of graduates with degree in political science, marketing and public administration outnumbered the few jobs available in these areas. The ratio is about 10000 to 1. Over 10000 candidates bidding for 1 job position. |
