Dear Nairalander, my sister had a B.Sc in Zoology couple of years ago and she couldn't find a work place that befit her course of study, she went further to obtain her Masters in Parasitology hopping to increase her chance of employment alas she still cannot find a befitting workplace. Shes presently working as a casual staff in a law firm earning a peanut and shes worried about not using her certs to get a befitting job. Please i need your help on likely companies she can apply to. thanks very much for your reply in advance.

I'm sure your sister did not have credible advisers otherwise she wouldn't have chosen such a course. She might have to settle for a job that has nothing to do with her degree because zoologists are not in demand at this time in 9ja!

Sorry to say but your Sister still lives in the colonial days.

This is 2015! I can't believe there are still people who believe you can only earn a living from what you studied in School.

Your University first degree is jst a stepping stone for you to achieve several other things in life.we r now in 2016

Fine there are courses that u know when you study them you will most likely get a job in industries or sectors related to their course of study.
Eg Medicine, Pharmacy(partially), Nursing and related medical line.

For crying out loud Accounting/auditing firms are not dominated by accounting graduates but Engineers and people from technical disciplines.
You see people who studied Agric Economics, English, Mathematics and all working in Banks, Telecom, Manufactuting, Oil and Gas and what have you.

Even in the Zoo they may nt have more than one zoologist.

Your sister is where she is today bc she has refused to wake up to the realities of today.

U do B.Sc for Zoology u no get job u come go do masters for that field again.

Anywhere brother...... Nigeria z all abt who u know if a graduate of Islamic study can be the Governor of Cbn. If a graduate of Yoruba can retire as a bank manger so what can't happen snif around nd find pple dat matters peace

Gaddafithe2nd:
Zoo, hospital/labs, agricultural sector and not to forget lecturing job.

jairusben:
hospital lab to do what na?

rhozaay:
military or paramilitary.... better still go to Ilorin n work in a zoo

Sweetyie:
many places; in d universities as lecturers and researchers, in the hospitals as medical scientist, parasitologist; in environmental consultancies as environmental specialist; as veterinary doctors; in international organizations and NGOs as public health experts, researchers and consultants; in government ministries and parastatals; in marine and freshwater agencies like NIOMR, NIFFRI as hydrobiologist, limnologist, conservation scientist; Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF). The list is endless.
