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.

Tbliss12:
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.

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

InyinyaAgbaOku:
The question is:
how much technological or engineering output does a corper engineer produce? nothing

You wrong bro, intellectual building matters a lot as everyone here knows that the foundational science courses( phys,chem,maths) is our language in Engineering especially mathematics which in turn builds their calculative skills u might not know when you are sound in mathematics u tend to be very calculative in dealing with things faster ur responds to issues will be superfast. That's what we do even when the Secondary Schools luckily tend to have us around so irase that from ur mind.

How much health delivery does a corp doctor offer: enormous.
So, op, how can you reap where u did not sow?

I need not say much here but occurences around in Nigeria will tell for itself.

you want to be paid 100k for teaching ss1 students physics and still follow them on holidays, weekend day offs, midterm break etc.
There is no holiday for the corp doctor, in fact corp doctors are underpaid! They function as full blown doctors .

Lolz...... U just made me smiled

nobilis:
I'm sorry to say but this is a really useless post.
It is this kind of comparison that is causing this friction between doctors and other health workers in public hospitals. You only look at the remuneration.

Now look at this:
1. When medical students study very hard during UTME and post-UTME aptitude tests in order to gain admission into universities, where were the engineering students? At least, we all know that the cut-off mark for Medicine is always higher than that of Engineering.

OP, did you protest that there is a lot of "GAP" in the admission requirements between the two courses of study?

No. You didn't.

2. When you go on end-of-semester breaks and the medical students remain in school (with no hopes of breaks), studying and doing their hospital postings, OP, did you protest that medical students are working in school while you're having the time of your life on Holz? Obviously you didn't.

3. When engineering students fail exams, they carry the courses over to the next session, while when medical students fail exams (depending on the degree of failure), they may have to drop a class and repeat the whole session.
OP, did you protest that you guys should be permitted to drop classes when you fail exams?
No, you didn't.

4. When you graduate after 5 years of study, and the medical students you gained admission with are still groaning under the weight of one professional exam or the other, did you protest that you should be made to spend more years in school? No, you didn't. You graduated with joy and happiness.

But now, you're protesting that doctors and health workers are treated more specially than engineers during NYSC years. Isn't that greed and injustice? You want Abraham's blessings to be yours but you don't want Abraham's sufferings and hardwork to be yours.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


Teaching is teaching.
An engineer corp member doesn't work as an engineer at all, simple.
A doctor who is employed to teach biology to ss2 students will be paid lime other corpers.
But once he is in the hospital, doing the work of a doctor, he shouldn't be paid 5k as a corp teacher.

Tbliss12:


Lolz.... Times are coming when Engineering Corpers will be @d right field of practice. We are going there.....

Tbliss12:


@nobilis no offense please for the fact that u have great affinity for medical profession,you should understand that everyone has right to his/her own opinion. And let me let you know one simple thing, I have graduates from medical dept in my school and in case u don't know that there is nothing like 3rd class,2nd class upper/lower and 1st class in the medical profession which implies that when u meet up with the cut-off CGPA u have passed and be qualified to become a Doctor of Medicine.
If you fail to see them as professionals together its your view but I still maintain that its not for comparism but for fair play to both simple

dridowu:
@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

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!!!

alotofgrace:


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

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

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