All over the world its no more "News" that these two field of career are both professional fields especially when it comes to practicing it in full scale. But its so saddened here in my country (Nigeria) the way Medical Student(Pharmacists,Nurses, Medical Lab Scientist and Doctors) are being given mouth watery treatment on NYSC service ground and the future Engineers are being treated like idiots.

Infact in Benue State where I'm serving Med Guys are paid like 60k @ppa, 30k @state level followed with 3bedroom flats of Doctors quarters(free of charge) nd 19k of allawee compared with an Engineering Student sent to primary or secondary school with 2k@ ppa and just your 19k of allawee with no accommodation even if you had a First Class(B.Eng) in school. With this sad experience I thing the Engineering Bodies in this country (NSE nd COREN) are allowing our government to cheat us big time.

Med Guys make sure life of human is sustained but Engineers make life so comfortable for humans, we are everywhere going great things all around the world...

1. Automobile industry
2. Air-Condition and Refrigeration(Plasma air-con,doing great)
3. Electronics Devices (Mobile Devices,Laptops etc)
4. ICT and Telecommunications
5. Provision of Electricity(even if its still Bad, but Med Guys can't still do d job if not trained Engineers)
6. Biotechnology (Engineering coming into Medicine)
7. Architects, Civil Engineers and Builders
8. AeroNautical Engineers (Aircraft Engineers)
9. Marine Engineers

Just to mention a few now tell me, would you say its fair after all these areas of specialisation we (the upcoming Engineers) should be badly treated?

Saving lifes rules... Medcine rules.
#irepteamsavinglife.

The reason is because this country is not technologically oriented , I will advice you shouldn't jealous em except you want get heart attack.

We don't have engineering bodies in Nigeria that encourage many students, period.

U WRONG THERE!!!
who's machines converted ur herbal drugs to tablets? who designed ur syringe?
get this...medicine is fixed, no creativity........in engineering, we combine the beauty of arts and the Heavenly tool called Mathematics to change things as challenges portray themselves

doctors do nothing, infact GOD HEALS, THE DOC TAKES THE FEE

remember...God was first an electrical/engineering....let there be light

That is the joy in being a medical/health student. My guy lagusta will soon join them.

I'm not jealous its just funny that's all,but d basic salary of an Engineer is alarming in the industry

..........engineering rules

Tell them let them know........ Maybe they don't know,Telecoms,Automobile,Oil and Gas Engineers are paid almost half a million monthly and if you care to know Engineering is so wide that you can choose to be versatile!!!

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that we do not have enough industries.

If we did....then engineers would have places/spots for NYSC attachment.(and presumably, enough cash/money)

And we docs don't necessarily enjoy....you can get sent out to the rural area....where you would be the only doctor for miles around...and believe me when I tell you it can get busy(Night calls and all).

Nope we do its just that our govt are just too selfish and ignorant. But on per state level some states have more industries than another...

Lolz..... After reading the comments here I realize that the already or aspiring Med guys are feeling like "Chairmen" pls don't get it twisted in naija we only enjoy God's grace and favor cos I've seen M.B.B.S doc strolling all round the state in search for job/placement after almost 8yrs of study. Just believe in yourself and be very much hard-working irrespective of the professional courses, if you believe it u can achieve it.

if it was vice versa u go complain

Mehn after all this madness turning study ,you gotta respect me oh. Rep 400 level mech eng bellstech

Farouksenior:
Op. its temporary nah. Once u hit m as an Engineer. No doc. Fit see ya rear light. Jst try makin ursef a better Engineer first.

Farouksenior. (EEE)[

Thanks @farouk that's what is expected,after sch & NYSc get as many professional training u can,bag d certificate and if possible run a full-time or part-time M.Eng then with that u too will know u got a cool platform. God bless the Nigerian Youth!!!

Farouksenior:

I'm into Production and Industrial Engineering (Mechanical Engineering)

Hospital Workers provide essential services and went through very high and tedious training along side many years of education.

It is like that all over the world. Nowhere in the world is the average engineer paid more than the average doctor.

I get your points from a Nigerian viewpoint. But it is also the prevailing poverty/economy in the country that makes other professionals in Nigeria to continue to look over ONLY the salaries of doctors/healthworkers and comparing them with theirs, which insidiously and unknowingly tends to generate envy for the doctors/healthworkers

Quit looking at the salaries ALONE...

It is NOT unfair that your corper doctor colleagues or other corper healthworkers earn 60 -100k or so. What IS probably unfair is that YOU earn 5k or so and do not get to practice your profession.

op you forgot to mention FOOD ENGINEERS who design and fabricate food machines and ensure we all get standard food products in stores.

So NYSC salary is your problem? You expect doctors after earning 200k as an intern to settle for 20k?
Everybody nowadays is just concerned over money even at ppa. While you're at it, create a thread on the medical rehab, medical lab, radiography,etc cos they also earn more.

Just face your own service and strive to earn more than the doctors
when you're done than to be whining over something they deserve and YES THEY DO!!!!

If and when you "hit" as an Engineer, no doc fit near you...

@op, when medical student are busy reading during/after session , where are engineering student ?
Whe Doctors are busy at work during strike, public holiday and night duty, where are the engineers ?
Where are the engineers when the Docs are using part of their hard earned money to cater for some patients ?
Where are the NSE/COREN , when NMA/NVMA/NMDCN are disucssing the future with govt ?
Where are the engineers when the Docs are been woken up in the middle of the night to attend to their enemies/friends ?
Where are the enginners when the Docs have an accidental injury ?
Where are the engineers when the Docs are giving real bite from relation of the patient that dies ?
Guy, no time for story , just face your work and leave the medical field alone.
Jah Bless

In...... U no d rest.

Would people die in all these building collapses if qualified civil engineers were used?


The body has natural immunity, antibodies, leutocytes and natural healing capabilities.

But buildings don't build themselves!
Vehicles don't manufacture themselves!
The electrocardiogram and defibrillator used in monitoring and restoring vitals are products of elect. Engrs.
Their surgical blades are products of production engrs.

What is modern medicine without engineering?!

Engineers should be treated fairly!

Lolz.... But I never said they don't deserve to be paid as professionals I only used that profession as a reference point. Don't get me wrong I too love medicine and if asked my second choice in career I would go for paediatrics/gynaecology but its just a simple comparism of two(2) professional area of study. I only felt Engineers and all other Professionals too deserve to practise in their fields of study.... Simple!!!

I don't like when people get this wrong, I never wish to write on the platform of JEALOUSY. But only wrote this piece just to share what these two professional fields experience on NYSC camp ground that's all.

There is no 'big gap' between those two profession in reality. its normal for the medical guys to think they are @the sumit during their study years, but when it comes to good jobs and making real cash, its the engineers.......how many medical doctors recieve between 350 to 450k a month in salary....the only advantage they have is job security.

You see In medical school we start writing Professional Exams at least for medical and dental students in 200L (part 1) we are really toughened


so pls I think high renumeration is fair and 6 yrs in school ain't easy!!!

our colleagues in engineering should also be looked out for sha
