yusman14: Production is almost the same as Mechanical Engineering. Same as Agricultural Engineering, while Mechanical Engineering focuses on general machinery for example, Agricultural Engineering focuses on machinery for agricultural purposes. With a Bachelors in Agricultural Engineering, you can be admitted into a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (some options) 2 Likes |

tensazangetsu20: Like seriously, where a civil engineer works a physicist can't survive there. The most lucrative engineering course is civil engineering reason is you can be self-employed, computer engineering is a waste I will suggest you rather go for computer science. Electrical engineering is the next because they are needed in almost all engineering companies. 1 Like |

Abolajigram:Omoh, this your mention ehn ![]() Well I eat but not digest every post I see here in nairaland. Most career posts people make here are always subjective. While someone gives you 80 reasons why MBBS/Engineering is not lucrative another will come with 120 reasons why it's best you study them. Although one doesn't invalidate the other. Then It's not any of the party's fault, jus blame the system. But what choice do we have? Leave Engineering school because some person says it's not lucrative (for people who are not from rich home)? Nah, we just try as much as possible to pick some 'sense' in every 'nonsense' we see here. This is the kind of post that should make us more serious with our studies than before, be passionate about the practical aspect, relate and make connections with the supposed rich pikins and most importantly pray like there is no tomorrow. Las las everyone will have it's own different and distinct story to tell. 10 Likes 1 Share |

atom080: If you had read my first post on this thread, you would have seen this: Gerrard59: Unless specified, there is no job opening a Physics grad cannot apply to just as his/her engineering counterpart. In the oil and gas industry, same thing. BTW, how many factories/industries are there in Nigeria? You type as if Nigeria is Taiwan where engineering grads are hot cakes because of the semi-conductor and yacht building industries. Professional courses yen yen yen, yet has the second highest unemployment rate globally! Nonsense and professional course! My business is with those who aspire to flee after graduation not those who desire to remain in the world's poverty capital. 3 Likes |

Lordbinsmar: The essence of the thread is to let aspiring students know that it is way better studying Physics rather than wait endlessly for engineering courses which are five years (ASUU+ internal issues). Rather than waste so much time, do something which has a shorter time-frame and leave the system. Those (sub)courses can be done at Master level outside Nigeria. 2 Likes |

DrBrainstorm: They are Nigerians: optimistic, ignorant and display a primitive sense of braggadocio. They will learn a thing or two when they understand the importance of experiencing GDP growth of 6%+, something Nigeria has not experienced in six years going to eight, has the highest number poor people and second highest unemployment globally. |

atom080: Finally! Anyone who is prepared to leave the system quickly should avoid all universities with "Tech" in their names. Unless Medicine (which has a future abroad, I do not get why young Nigerians should waste five years studying any engineering course in a Nigerian university. Totally pointless! Nigeria seems to be the only place where that happens. Everywhere else is max four years.) but as far as u ar staying in 9ja, bro study professional course! Investment banks (I have written the CV for a Math grad who applied to an opening that specifically requested for only Math and Physics grads with first class) and manufacturing industries - TGI, Dufil Prima Foods, Nigerian Bottling Companies etc. I did not study any engineering discipline and I finished in the top 1% of my class. |

Dbb01: That is the good thing about my stance: you really cannot blame me because these things will happen and will get worse. Take it from me, unemployment will worsen as the GDP rate dips, population will balloon and people will get poorer. In few years to come when they happen and the govt becomes irredeemably broke to finance public universities, y'all will remember this thread. Again, Nigerians - largely ignorant - seem to have this unwavering faith in the future of the country. One day, they will learn, the hard way. 4 Likes |

Nozino: Computer engineering is useless as well, their few jobs for computer engineering. Will rather advise he/she goes for computer science. The first class from computer engineer with master they alaba market they sell furniture, don't get me wrong he might making more money. It was no job that made him dive into that business. The people from my set doing well are mostly from electrical engineering. |

@ Gerrard59 . get to know the difference between professional and non-professional courses. by default all physical science courses including physics are research base i.e they are academic courses, so they don't fit to any particular industry or profession(except for research/lecturing). get that fact! . and again, don't ever compare western education timeframe to what can be obtainable in 9ja. in the u.k, u.s, engr is 4yrs(good and fine) i.e a 1yr difference. bt do you knw dat medicine is 5yr in u.k and 4yr in u.s? then why can't you call medicine a waste of time too?(infact it's 7yrs +nysc in 9ja). . even at the undergrad level in nigeria, engr stud'nt have alot of opportunity compared to physics, eg local scholarships. . get my fact right! physics is not a profession while engr is. never compare the two in terms of employment opportunity. . pls, engage me with verfiable facts and proofs(references if possible). i'm not interested in unverifiable personal experience or stories. |
