Must you work with your first degree? Studying Anatomy, Physiology or Biochemistry is only a means to an end.

In the US, they are a prerequisite for the study of medicine or Dentistry. There isn't a physician who didn't get drilled in the basic Med sciences.

U must be joking. What am I supposed to do with a degree? Fry bourns with it?

Mr man this is Nigeria, u dnt need a degree in basic medical science to student medicine or dentistry. So shut up already

Honestly, you guys have spoken my mind, you guys just told the OP the bitter truth.

I have been a graduate of microbiology for the past 5years, you can't believe that I have never used it to work in my field before.

Not that I have not been seeing jobs, but the experience they request for, is like walking from Nigeria to Chicago.

Sometimes, I always think otherwise, I have been to the last stage of an interview before in an FMCG coy, but was turned down on two occasion that I don't havr experience in my field.

Even, I was turned down to work as a lab scientist in ministry of health, just because they said, a microbiologist without medical licence can't work in the field.

Infact, these days I don't even go near most of all these my field again.

I prefer applying in other field, where what they needed is what you can bring in not really your certificate sometimes.


OP, to be honest with you, please go for medical lab science, or you go for better lucrative course, leave biochemistry and microbiology out of the page.

Majority of my friends we finished together and some that also finished as biochemist are now working in bank, some access, some uba and some first bank.

wo my dear if dey are not going to employ u go into fashion designing Bfor been jobless will make u frustrated..... u know u can't just sit n not do anything

jaychubi:

Exactly MLS has made nonsense of esp microbiology

Yes because under MLS there is a unit called Medical microbiology... And these people are preferred to normal microbiology graduates.

chaiii, see how people are condemning the course am about to do for my HND even am going for the CBT test next week.....



hummm, u are scaring me a lot

Maybe, maybe not...

01mcfadden:
The differences are more than minor, sir.

Biochemistry is way harder than microbiology

whyteteeth:
You guys are busy condemning Biochemistry and microbiology. How about anatomy or physiology? Those two are the worst courses in the world. Most especially anatomy. It's as hard as a nutcracker and yet as useless as a used tissue paper dumped inside the toilet.

physiology is still better.. But that is if and only if if you study till PhD, my brother without a PhD in physiology, one is as ordinary as a jambite.

Biochemistry and microbiology are just dumping grounds for those that didn't make it into College Of Medicine.When i was in MCB,we were 310 in class.I just look at the class sometimes and wonder where all these people will fit in.BCH and MCB is not worth it in Nigeria.just go for professional courses,not that these courses will make you rich oh just that they will give you a head start.

Shut up already. U must be very insecure to think like this. Physiology is as useless as the P in psychology. Stop giving yourself vain hope. U are doomed!!!

hummm, u are scaring me a lot

Lemme advise you as a brother.
Biko just write jamb again...
This time around for allied medical courses..
And also in a university.

If you no u wanna go for microbiology, Biochemistry, anatomy or physiology, be very sure u have financial support till PhD level.. Or better still make a first class @ b. SC level or at most a 2.1 (so that u can work in a bank).

But if u make a 2:2, and u have no financial support till PhD level, then you are on your own o

None bro, both are not lucrative, I studied biochemistry but I'm not into that line any longer, I'm very comfortable in my present field now

lol, I never insulted u now, just my opinion, physiology PhD holders are getting millions of research grants.. Wise up bro.. Thats why I said PhD... PhD not b sc

what of physiology

Heart attack will catch MCB and BCH undergraduates in this thread.



Op make you kuku go study Agriculture

My brother....
Biochemistry is in medical college..
Micro biology is in faculty of biological science...
I'm speaking for unical ooo.. Lol.. And there are more than 400 who were admitted for Microbiology last year in unical..

Lmao

Hyfer:
what of physiology

Don't even mention it.. It's worse than the courses we are discussing.

both are on same rate

tho both courses r not useful in Nigeria, I will advise u take biochemistry. it has more careers

I rather go and learn Capentary . Less than 5% probability of ever getting a job

lol, u and physiology en.... Did u study physiology, or had a close pal that did.

Chai.. See conclusion o... What if u made a first class

Having a godfather or someone very influential....pays better in Nigeria

@op, do you care for library science?

Dotman23:
Chai.. See conclusion o... What if u made a first class

are you a learner? How many first class have you seen as a graduate of physiology and how many have you heard that the university retained to lecture?

Haha. Nawa for comments o
