I have friends who graduated from sciences they either doing their master or teaching/lecturing in a school. I graduated 2011 so I know what I'm talking about. Okay, tell me where in Nigeria will a microbiologist work, anatomy still feasible (I know of an anatomy graduate who wrote Ecobank Interview with me back in the days), how many companies employ chemistry/ biology/ mathematics graduates. From my experience I had in job application I have never come across where a company or organization needs a maths/chemistry/biology graduates except schools and university these groups(set of graduates) only gets an opportunity in other sectors only when is stated "we need graduates" irrespective of what you have studied. I put to you 70% of the students now in science (physical and medical science) didn't choose that profession it was due ro admission problem probably did not meet cut off point (high cut off)

I studied pure Math from one of the most prestigious universities in Nigeria.Try taking a guess how much I earn at the moment,all thanks to God.

Mznaett:
Happy New Month to you @Jascon4

NinjaX:
Dumb thread.

You are obviously uninformed and I don't blame you per se, but the crooked environment we have found ourselves.

For your information, I 've seen NNPC adverts which specifically requested the services of zoologists/microbiologists as Pollution Control Officer, and I'm reliably informed there are zoologists working in that regard, in the corporation. Many governmental and non-governmental organizations with likelihood of environmental impacts through their operation, require the services chemists, botanists, zoologists, geologists etc.

There's a Wildlife hazard control unit in the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria. Whose service do you think they 'll require there? Economists, Engineers or medical doctors? I'm sure you know the answer.

Are you aware that Goodluck Jonathan worked as an Assistant Director in a government parastatal that's environment-related, after acquiring his PhD and before he ventured into politics?

And for your information, every field is going environmental, thanks to the climate change which now popularizes natural sciences.

Are you aware there are many nations on the continent whose economic mainstay is their environment? In those nations, zoologists, botanists etc are better appreciated than ours.

Leave Geologist out of this,hmm that NNPC adverts is once in 10 years and apart from NNPC what other companies.. come on, I'm talking about re-occurring adverts day in day out. Oh yea after he got his "Ph.D", there are organizations but very few ones who need the services chemist,biologist,zoologist, Government job is for everyone even does who study language gets a job, I'm talking about multinationals with good pay jobs. I'm referring to Nigeria not other countries.

emmasege:
You wouldn't get it. There's no point arguing blindly with you.

lexiconkabir:


And you work based on mathematical knowledge?

hilaomo:
yes I do.

Jascon4:


Hello Mz! Welcome to December. Been ages! Where are thou? Lost connection

Mznaett:


Thanks dear... Yea! It's been a while... Still in school o... And you?
Some good guys snatched my phone from me....

Dapsonemmanuel:
What if you studied course like science laboratory technology .. Do one really need to hustle like a madman before getting a job

rusher14:


I can understand not having the immediate wherewithal to setup your own business but a lab technician should be self sustaining.

lexiconkabir:


Wow! I'm also stydying mathematics, presently in my final year...

If you don't mind, can you give an insight of what you do?

hilaomo:
I teach third graders mathematics.

Dapsonemmanuel:
.. Good but how fast would one get a job .. And what companies or organization would one be able to work in

superfelix:
jesu ... mak dem kuku cancel falcuty of Science! chai...

lexiconkabir:


Not in Nigeria, in the US i guess..

Mznaett:


Oh! this particular mail isn't active... Send it to ... Pls edit this post when you see it

HighIQ:
In Nigeria, Some students immediately after finishing their final exam in the university starts jibilating, celebrating and doing all weird things to celebrate their final examination. Unknown to many of them, that is just the begining of pontential waywardness and severe career.and employment challenge. As a new era termed "hustling era" had just begun. So if you don't have the strength or creative enough to hustle , DO NOT NEAR THE FOLLOWING COURSES.

1) Philosophy, Sociology and anthropology, Psychology, Geography, History, Public Administration

2) Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, Industrial chemistry.

3) Biochemistry, Anatomy, Microbiology, Physiology.

4) Zoology, Botany,

5) Agric courses, Education courses

People who study these courses may eventually opted for masters to become a lecturer where they will equally be subjected to work for many years to become a Professor while other due to unemployment may be subjected to other business.
