the above.courses am comfortable with,presently am in maths dept in one of the federal uni around,going to 200lvl next year,pls classify them under prospects,chances of being self employed e.t.c by the way i will be 18 next year

in terms of self employment, mech is the best. but in other aspect mathematics is the best

Bro don't be deceived I don't know why most of the people replying you recommend mathematics.

In Nigeria of today engineering is by far the most lucrative option. that is what the labour market wants. check any job site and see how many placements for engineering compared to mathematics. I don't know why they are not being truthful even if they love maths.

yes in advanced countries the sciences and maths leads and are a bit better but in countries like Nigeria. I will advise anybody to stufy engineering over maths.

See! what you have to ask yourself is? if I crossover to engineering will I be a first class or 2.1 graduate? if yes go for it. if no, if u see urself struggling in engineering to get a 2.2 or 3rd class then don't border.

ask yourself bro am many maths graduates do you hear of their succes story?
The ones that are whining(advising) you how many of them earn more than engineers.

Baba forget that thing. if you have the brain go for engineering.

Durentt:
those people are in d in 12th century then. Rubbish.
Even some engineering graduates are now regretting, wishing they did mathematics. Go ask any sound literate, they wud tell u to choose math over engineering.

Richiez FP please

how many of them?

where are all these so called maths graduates working in Nigeria?

Is it Mathematics Vs Mechanical Engineering or Statistics Vs Mechanical Engineering? If it's the latter, then I will gladly recommend you choose Statistics because of its numerous job opportunities especially when you have good grade. However, With Mechanical Engineering certificate, you can only work in few specific areas and you will be paid good salary.

.it actually a combined honors.those in UNILAG can attest.

Bros, goto to the jobs/vacancies right now and check. Forget the discipline, Engineering is just too broad and employers of labour know it. You're more likely to get a job with Engineering.

Entrepreneurship wise, Engineering still takes the lead.

Forget that thing wey durentt dey talk

But on a serious note, if you can move over to Eng, please do

You de mind the scammer . An engineer is more respected than a mathematician in Nigeria , its Gods doing the same way medical doctor are treated like kings and queen in camp and society .

Calculator don't kill yourself you can't change this fact , get over it.

if your plan is to travel out immediately you finish. then mathematics is not a bad.

what do you want? to gain knowledge and know-how and then be involved with ground breaking research or to earn a fat salary.

Those saying Maths must be high on Ijebu weed..... how on earth can u compare Maths with Mechanical Engineering There is no where in the world a Mech Engr can't fit in.... How many Job adverts do you see are looking of BSc Maths?? Even Audit and Insurance firms now go for Engineers talk more of Oil n Gas, Manufacturing n others too numerous to mention.....

BTW: am sure most people studying Maths are there because they applied for Engineering but were not admitted, so they were thrown to maths dept.


Oya If e pain u Quote me and see.....

With due respect this is an insult to Mech. Engineering. Should this even be an argument?

favoured247:
i wonder why in the world u will compare mathematics to engineering. mathematics is under engineering. wat kind of jobs can u apply for with a degree in mathematics?

from.my little research,u can woek as a quant,lecturer,economist,tax analyst,meteorologist,engineer e.t.c NB it mat require added qualifications

Mathematics under Engineering?

how many of them?

where are all these so called maths graduates working in Nigeria?

stop displaying ur ignorance on a social media lik dis. I bliv am not supposed to answer dis. Use ur leisure time nd read it up yourself

yesterday it was Mathematics against engineering, today it has become Maths/stats. Against Mechanical engrg. Which happens to be one of the discipline in engineering. hmmmm.......


Mathematics people i hail Oo. You guys just can't give it a rest can you??

You cannot work as an Engineer!!

If you can switch and you think you can cope , please do.

You can work anywhere with a Mechanical Engineering degree, Even in a hospital.

Cheers!

[size=16]OP, majority of those advising you to go for mathematics were those people who must have study mathematics regrettably trying to push you into their own situation. Please, advice you to go for engineering. The opportunities are much when compared with mathematics. Out of those mathematicians pushing you to the direction of mathematics, it was only few of them might have gotten the opportunities of working with that while the rest must have opted for not-well paid teaching jobs.[/size]

math and stat of course all organization need them. even them medical line.

A good statistician is a good mathematician .

Statistics is a form of applied mathematics ....gat job opportunities in almost anywhere ...be it in oil companies (e.g NNPC ) , telecommunications , Large firms , industries ( Quality assurance manager ), NAFDAC., Hospitals, ....INEC, NCC, ...research centres ......I can keep listing. ...

Just make sure ur brain is burning mathematically., try master some statistical packages like..R., SAS; Spss, Minitab...e.t.c
n gat fast computational skills. ...cux..statistics is not really easy..but its interesting. . practical nd rewarding. ......" pace and prcision " is required. ...


good luck.!!

Calculator123 ur thread finally made FP u better start thankin me

To be frank with you in terms of job prospect and opportunities I would take Engineering over Mathematics. Take a look @the vacancies on job sites in Nigeria and tell me which discipline is requested for the most. You hardly see a vacancy where only a Mathematics graduate is required to apply but that is the complete opposite when it comes to Engineering. An Engineer can perform the duties of a Mathematics Graduate in a work enviroment but its otherwise when it comes to Engineering jobs.
Moving forward after all said and done its your grades that matter, what you got upstairs and Luck.
