calculator123: If you'd like to do interesting cutting-edge research go for Math, pick up useful programming languages + basic physics before you get your undergraduate degree, study hard, get good grades and go for an advanced degree in Computer Science (with a focus on Artificial Intelligence) or Mathematical Physics (with a focus on quantum computation). That's where the future is headed! |

First and foremost, there is vurtually no job in the country. But whatever job opportunity exist for a maths grad can be filled in by an engr grad. Unfortunately the same can not be said about a maths grad filling up an engr position. I am a civil engr with 2yrs post nysc experience, so I am not just blabbing. Even more my younger bro was studying maths, I advised him to retake jamb. Today he is studying elect engr. Dont get me wrong, there are engrs out there without jobs and are starving but it still remains a better option han maths. Except you aint talking about Nigeria All those talk about research position is almost non existent in Nigeria without connect or a first class. Also engineers do a whole lot of research too.. But like I said, research in Nigeria is mere formality. If u are interested in research better leave to a country like canada or u.s 1 Like |

calculator123: Hello World! mathematics is good. Mathematicians rule the World. maths is all about problem solving. it is required in all area of study and in all field of study. I enjoy maths. Though am a student of Statistics/Computer sha. Many chances await you bro. just study it with all diligence. |

Meritocracy: QED... Let me also refer them to job vancancy sites. Please check the last NNPC, SHELL, CHEVRON, etc job advert to see whether you'll see a position for mathematics I really love the way you made the analogy simple... If I were those people who studied mathematics, I'll just go for Ph.d and start lecturing or better still get an employment in secondary schools. Even in secondary school self, teachers teaching engineering related courses are very few, ask the Corp members Engineering is the bedrock of an social development! |

amazingspiderma:No! You are getting it wrong. I am not saying Engineering is not worth it, no its quite a prestigious profession. Your B.Sc/Masters or whatever, is only an academic qualification which is a prerequisite for entry level jobs, your certification by a recognized regulatory body is your professional qualification and that gives you an edge over others and establishes you as a professional in that field no matter your field of study, provided you know your worth. For instance being a graduate of mechanical engineering doesn't make you a professional or an engineer until you register and being certified or licensed by NSE/COREN etc before you can qualify legally to be known as an engineer (professionally). My advise to Op is that mathematics has a wider employment opportunity; be it in the business, architectural, computational, oil and gas sector. |

Re: Mathematics/stastistics Vs Mechanical Engineering by Shikena(m): 4:49pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
Almost all the advantages offered by Mathematics also apply to Mechanical Engineering and even more and this is not just about Nigerian environment. However, with luck, hardwork and connections both are very good options. We should always note that how far you go is more about you - the paper qualification is more about positioning for opportunities. A good friend of mine in a very good statistics-related job with US government actually studied Mechanical Engineering in Nigeria. Some guys with Maths degrees are also doing well in diverse areas. We can argue from morning till evening but perception is always a huge factor and with areas of studies like Engineering it is not without solid reasons based on facts over several years. If I have to make a choice between these options, I won't even flog the issue - I will opt for Mechanical Engineering any time t. 1 Like |

I have two degrees, bsc Engineering and MSc engineering. if I was to do it again, I would study maths. Only that the proofs are too rigorous. Maths or physics doesn't box you to a corner like engineering does. |
