bring the most influential doctor and bring the most influential farmer and tell me who is richer, a fishpond of 50000 fishes can give you 1m monthly, a poultry house of 12thousand birds can give you 1m monthly, the capital is just the problem, if you study agric, you will understand what I mean, a start up capital of 5m can give you 2m in a year In my school, the richest undergraduate is arguably from animal sc, he has 2fishfarms and two snailery. Agric is not a bad course, you hardly find an agriculturist looking for job. They know how to make the cash.

Shut up.Noone said Agric was bad.Just stop comparing it to MBBS.Even in terms of pay,they are still not mates.Especially in big private hospitals,Just to see a doctor,you pay 80K Per person4card.They haven't even treated you yet.They haven't done any work o but you must pay.To scan nko?Or do test? Not to talk of the overall charges including hospital bills.My friend,go and sit down and rethink on your post

It is sad that in 2018, such courses are still offered in Nigerian Universities. A course like Animal Science have no relevance.

This is pure academic hairsplitting. I wonder what Zoology curriculum entails that it can not be merged with the Animal Science curriculum to give practicable relevance. Please, do not accept such a 'curse', prepare for the next Jamb exams.

accept it and take another jamb in 100level

Sapiosexuality:
Of course it is. I don't think there's any Radiologist in this country that is unemployed.

Trex4, don't accept it if you have no love for it. Don't rush into what you don't love because at the end you will not happy with it. Animal Farm is a good course but don't choose it because you are tired of staying at home.

Perhaps you should review your comment. Radiologists are medical doctors who specialize in a postgraduate program in radiology.

Animal husbandry working in the bank?! That bank must be ABN(Animal bank of Nairaland) no be my country you go see job.

kai savage lmao.

So many Nigerians are doing something very far from what they studied. It's applications that we do.
Any course you have no interest in and you study it, you are not likely to come out well. Interest is key. Don't leave another person's life. If medicine no gree, do something close.
Animal science is gradually becoming hotcake as a lot of people are now going into agriculture. It is a big profession in advanced country.
Before now, if your child is not going to school to study mech engine, medicine, electrical, pharmacy or accounting, it's seen as a waste of money. Today, all that has changed.

I beg you, don't study animal science if you don't have Agric in mind.

Animal Science.......From Med Surg To Animal Science...Guys Please Advice Me Should I Accept It? How Good Is It? Can I Switch To My Preferred Course After? Unn Experts Please Help A Brother.

Thanks N God Bless....

Why don't go for Biochemistry if they can offer you. Biochemists would be very relevant in few years from now.
They would be highly needed in agricultural revolution that is about to be the mainstay of the nation's economy. They will also be relevant in major breakthroughs in research in medicine and agriculture.
I am a biochemist with PhD in
nutritional and environmental biochemistry and I also have a degree in biotechnology. I am currently running a program in biochemical engineering

When we said that you are a daft, you are crying, so you don't know the difference between Animal Science which deals with domestic animals and Zoology which deals with wild animals.
Well, I am proudly animal scientist.

Oga collect your course and go to school ooo.... don't event think of wasting resources and TIME on jamb again

I graduated from unn, two things are involved, its either you accept it with a mind set that you would do well in your 100 level, get a good grade and high cgp so u can easily switch to your dream course or you ignore and write jamb again...your choice.

Like i said before,accept the admission if you still want medicine.Changing from one dept to another in UNN is very very possible.Also sit for JAMB for backup.
Medical courses are still hot cakes whether anyone wants to accept it or not.
All of you saying "you can work anywhere" just know that Not everyone likes working in an unrelated field After graduation.Just follow your heart .

dnt mind him. Anybody with any kind of degree can work in a nigerian bank, so far ur good with figures and can make moni for dem (marketering) or if u hv connectn dia.

The fellow that said you advised on something you knew nothing about was absolutely right. Firstly, what makes you think he is going to score a higher mark if he stays as home as against being in academic environment where he will learn not only physics, chemistry but will also learn the difference between secondary and tertiary institutions. Secondly, if he accepts the course, will that change him from crossing over to his preferred course or even writing another UTME? Lastly, in Nigerian context as of today, Animal science is ranked among few courses that can guarantee graduates quick and easy employment, even those that never studied it while in school (medical personnels inclusive) are learning one or two things about it and are venturing into the profession. So it's obvious you gave advice on something you knew little or nothing about.

dukeprince50:
though I applied for medicine Wen I was looking for admission 2014 but currently studying crop/soil, but believe me if I wish to switch to another course, it won't be medicine, law or engineering, it will be animal science, my lecturers have their own farm, man they are fucking rich, even with recession those guys are buying cars like they don't care

Bro u cn do crop breeding and genetics in ur second degree and ph.d, u ll nt regret it at all....

im not talking about pay, I mean those with business motives to make millions are more in the agric sector than in the medical part. go thru ur posts, u are the one who condemned agric.

Come again?

Did you just say Animal science deals with domestic animals and Zoology deals wild animals?
This says a lot about your education. Your certificate should grace the table of an 'akara' seller.

You guys should stop deceiving yourselves. Besides, change of course form now cost N50,000. Something which is a game of chance.

einsteine:



Animal Science is not Zoology. It is also extremely stupid of you to say it has no relevance.

And you're very stupid not to read the part where I suggested a merging of curriculum for practicable relevance.

Qsscruz:
You should accept the course and then focus on getting a high GP, so that you could be able to change to your desired course. Don't hid the advice of not accepting it. Staying at home may not produce a positive effect .

A high GPA in 100l does not guarantee you a change of course.

Joshuaoseoboh:
ACCEPT IT, READ HARD, GET FIRST CLASS AND BE RETAINED AS A LECTURER. Sadly that's HOW IT WORKS IN THIS COUNTRY.

Even people with 3.5 CGPAs are being retained as lecturers now in UNN. First class are NOT always retained now.

Saint83:
The deviation is much,from MBBS to Animal Science? My dear, what you read matters, don't allow those that has made mistakes in their career deceive you into reading course you will be carrying certificate up and down, even when there is employment, they can't employ you because your field is not there. Sit down and write write another jamb or you can pick up the course while you write Jamb again, but I tell you Animal science is obsolete and outdated course. No vacancies for them,unless you have it in mind to work in the bank that doesn't care about course of study. Good luck.

I couldn't agree more.

Ignorance (or even being myopic) makes you limit your career progression to the Nigerian scenario. Tell me a profession you can place side by side a Medical Doctor, Surgeon etc in the US or UK.

Gaddafithe2nd:

The Course is a nice course. I knew someone that was successful in that discipline. He even bagged Phd in it. Do research about the course, if you don't like it, go get a Jamb form and prepare for the next exam.

He bagged a Phd and then what?

Fifthwave:


He bagged a Phd and then what?

Mr man, he bagged a PhD, he is a consultant, a former permanent secretary of ministry of Agriculture in one of the southwest state and Lastly, he is a rich man.
Don't think people that studied that course are poor or unsuccessful.

Josephamstrong1:


Why do people resort to spewing trash at any slightest opportunity? It is either you're depressed or something.
Meaning the PhDs, Emeritus and professors in that field are all useless?
Please which part of the aves planet are you from? Khristal87 had just broaden your tetanus filled brain on the broad view of the profession.
If you have any knowledge of the University system, you should have at lest advised him to take up the course, study and work harder during the first year, get a good cgpa and then transfer to any course of his choice.
Thought ignorance is a bliss. Alas! I was wrong. Really pathetic.
Even the course itself is a professional course and has better employment opportunities than your useless analysis.
Better read wide and stop wallowing in a self delusion.

You just ended up rambling and also displaying your ignorance to the public. How many percent of student who attempt a change of course to Medicine after 100l succeed even with high CGPAs?
And how sure are you that the OP will obtain the said high GPA after 100l?

Gaddafithe2nd:

And you think everyone's career path will follow the same trajectory?
Especially someone who's original intent was to study Medicine.

Please how does Animal Science and Med & Surgery relate? From Medical Sciences to Agriculture. Does this show focus?

Some Nairalanders are just wicked in giving advice.

I think you have a problem. The problem is, you don't comprehend. Could you please, go back to page first quoted me, "I told the OP to do research about about the course, if he isn't satisfied he should get another Jamb form and prepare for the exam". You skipped that part, just to score cheap point. Don't tell me you are an undergraduate or a graduate, because you don't even portray to be one.

Score cheap points? To fetch me money or what?

I see you portray all the features of an undergraduate, graduate, and "over graduate" put together. If your advice is that he go do research on the course, doesn't it pass a message that you're ignorant of the prospects of the course?

I repeat, why would anyone advise someone whose plan was to study Medicine to accept Animal Science?
How are they related?

(Do you see who lack comprehension now?)

I can relate with your angle of edification

"Follow your passion" is one of the rudiments of success in life

What if many students come out wit good grades @ 100level and he ends up not been among the few selected .. he will end up carring on with the animal science and he's likely not to pursue it obsessively cos thats not where his passion lies, and that might be the beginin of his undoing

Many graduates today are unemployed cos the are not employable .. the rush in to study anything the are offerd witout passion for it and end up quacks in such discipline

Am still telling you to go back and read that comment again, Am not sure you read at all, I wonder how you passed your exams;
" The Course is a nice course. I knew someone that was successful in that discipline. He even bagged Phd in it. Do research about the course, if you don't like it, go get a Jamb form and prepare for the next exam".
That is the first comment where you quoted me. Indicate where I told the OP to accept the course.
Guy you really have a problem. If you can't deduced what I have written, it shows you have a problem and don't quote me if you have nothing reasonable to discuss.

If you know the way,you will be successful with the changing.I know two people that changed from that same animal science to MLS.

First you say, "The course is a nice course." Then you said; "I knew someone that was successful in that discipline." then again; "He bagged a Phd in it."
With these premises, aren't you practically telling the OP; accept it, you will be successful, you can even bag a PhD.

So, was my assumption that you were encouraging him to accept the course from your premises wrong? No.
Now you can stop mentioning me.
