Why will someone go to school, spend 6 years burn candle and do sleepless nights all to end up installing DSTV for people? Does that make sense to you? Instead why not cut our that years and stress of the uni and go directly to installing DSTV, at least you have some years head start. It's not all about the money! There's something called job satisfaction. 19 Likes |

XketchDesigns: In the absence of nothing, find something doing. Before i got my current job, i was doing free work for contractors in the oil and gas industry without being paid. I was building my experience, and i was making contacts while meeting people wherever i go to work. Suddenly, there was an opening in one of the firms, and that was it. I got the job, all thanks be to God. My advice is Get busy doing something, and also be prayerful and hopeful. 2 Likes |

mayb nigerians need to tell govt how to train students of some courses. it is funny to think mechanical engrs are trained to repair vehicle.engrg is a family and pple who are involved know d category of cadre dt works on vehicle to repair it. it is nt a pride to say dis but every cadre's role is well defined. nigeria economy just seems to give more jobs to technician's cadre than any other cadre of engineering because we dont manufacture here. dis experience is nt limited to mechanical alone but all engrg fields. |

The argument may never end with people supporting or going against this statement based on personal experiences. All the same, your boss is RIGHT and I like the way this was coined - " And You Have Nothing Doing". I think we've ignored that part of the statement. Like someone said, you may be underemployed especially as a graduate but not unemployed. I think we need the paradigm shift where graduates don't ignore technical jobs or vocational skills - like someone said, you went to school for freaking sake. The exposure helps you to be innovative even though I know Nigeria is a complicated country. 1 Like 1 Share |

Stop fooooling around, you keep decieving yourselves and with certificates, Mechanical egineers should design and build and fix engines that what they studied, my late dad studied Electrical engineering, He has a hands on experience, has his electrification contracting firm, what stop a mechanical engineer from having a mechnics and fabrication firm the bottom line is that most of our present crop of young engineers are just daft dhope: |
