if its possible, I'd advise you go for both of them. both are great, but environmental is more lucrative.

mainly in environmental consultancy firms (private companies), government parastatals and in universities. its actually the aspect of microbiology that cuts across all industries.

What area was/is your research project centered on?

not a project work, talking of IT

@chomytex&co

Oops...sorry pls


I think if i'm to advise those concerned,they should get their internship in establishments where they can have a solid practical experience,acquire skills there, that can make them self reliant long after they leave school. This should always be at the back of our minds,and not just the short-term monetary benefits
while there.

For example,if ur experience is in Medical mcb and u've got a passion for it (perhaps, you still want to make a living in that line of mcb,you could possibly set up ur lab(i.e after u'v been licensed etc etc),start frm there,build up ur enterprise.....I tell you it's less challenging than say; trying to set up a food/beverage factory where u'll have alot of issues to contend with:Cost of production,government&regulatory bodies interference,marketability of products(is ur product acceptable to the consumer&is there a demand for ur products?),competition(it's a two-way street though,it strengthens a biz to some extent,but could 'ruin' it too etc etc.


However,all this talk is not to discourage anybody though. There's no harm in venturing into uncharted territories...provided you know exactly what you're doing.
