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.

Please I need you to mentor me, I'm also a Graduate of Geology... How can I reach out to you?

It's all about Grace, I have seen someone with 2.1 Petroleum Engineering Uniport, teaching in secondary School after 5 years of graduation. He even manage to secure the teaching job after 3 years of joblessness. I have equally seen someone that read linguistics, working in one of the multinationals Oil company.

How often do you see such "Grace" manifest?

Abeg, don't give people advice based solely on expectations of "Grace".

Am 3rd year geology and mining student, please I need geologist to mentor and groom me in this field, and infact if there's any geoscience company that could take me for internship I will be glad please... reply me please

Get a mentor from your lecturers.

Petroleum Engineering is shi.t
He's better off with geology/Geophysics. There are little to no jobs in the oil industry. PE is too streamlined,I'll never advise anyone to study PE as a first degree. I'm studying PE and in my finals and I know better now,wish I had someone to put me through earlier on.

I repeat PE as first degree is a trap!!!

Do you think metallurgical and materials engineering is better than Petroleum engineering?
Which of them would you advise someone to go for?

It is 200% better than PE bro, there very few PE jobs our there as compared to other professions.

MME is supposed to be better but not ripe for Nigerian market. I LL advice that you go and specialise in material science or any other modern area in any of these free masters degree tuition in Europe if you are not bounyant

Ok..I am an undergraduate of materials science and engineering, planning to specialize ASAP..thanks..

I understand

ignis:


I understand

If one doesn't understand something and ask them questions, they start insulting as though you're supposed to know it, and called it stupid question or called u I serious person as if that's how their lecturers treated them during their undergraduate.

I want to work as an Engineering Geologist

The Ministry of Mines and Steel always requires companies in mining and sales of minerals to have geologist the work with on consulting basis, not necessarily full employments.
During license renewal process the companies usuall require a letter of engagement) acceptance from a qualified geologist — geologist graduates can take advantage of such instances to make small pocket change.

Study educational course and stand a chance of getting State, Federal, highly paid International school job, other than Geologist begging to teach Physics, Further Maths.

Thank me later
