It should also be noted that many youths don't know where their passion lies. They don't know what they want to do in life. They just want to be rich. That's all. That's why many parents choose career they feel its best for their children. |

" If all Nigerians are doctors, lawyers, accountants and engineers... " Dear OP, the problem is that these professions create room for monopoly. For instance, only a lawyer is licensed, and backed by the constitution, to give legal advice or sign certain official documents. This practice ensures that the monies to be earned from all legal services go to those in the legal profession ( some people argue that this barrier is fraudulent and must be dismantled). On the flip side, is it only graduates of music that are singing on stages, releasing music albums, or doing voice-overs? No law on earth hinders anyone from producing ISSA BANGER !!! We all know that some lawyers are lunatics while some teachers are dearly sent from heaven, but what matters most, especially to parents forcing their wards to choose those over-hyped professions, is the fact that the constitution ensures that there is monopoly of supply for them and this translates to steady stream of income. Well OP, If you had the opportunity to choose whom to father you, won't you choose dangote? Anyway Sha, the only difference between a mechanic and a mechanical engineer is NOT a laminated paper. # I rest my case. 1 Like |

BabaIbo:It is very wrong to say you don't know the relevance of Industrial Chemistry. There are so many Industrial Chemistry jobs but many are not advertised online. Let me give you a secret that have worked for me twice when I was searching for Job. Identify industrial hubs around you. Take for instance Atani area in Onitsha. Take a list of big pharmaceutical firms, food and beverage firms, oil and gas companies and cosmetics firms within there. Consider big private schools. Also consider firms outside the area but within the city. For instance, Divine Favour pharmaceutical is not within Atani but within "Onitsha". Build your CV, use a contact address around where the firms are located. Make sure you submit your CV to those firms within the first week of January. In the case of private schools, make sure you submit your CV at the beginning of the long vacation. If you can do it in not less than 50 firms, I bet you will get a Job latest in three months. The truth is that if you are not successful with what you have now, it is very likely that you won't be successful with what you wished you had!!! |

MsGood: Mis-education is what I'd call it. Summary of all definition of education is the preparation of people on how they can survive and make meaningful contributions. Education is supposed to help them find the path while miseducation is forcing things on people's brain whereby they finally become useless to themselves, the society and even the person forcing the education on them. 1 Like |

I have always said it that Nigerian education system is a pure scam! If you are schooling here in Nigeria, just know u r simply wasting some of your time. Ask yourself, if Nigerian schools are up to the task why are they sending their kids abroad to study? Our leaders are deliberately messing up our educational system to give their kids an upper hand. Can your compare a first-class computer science graduate here with common first-year computer science students from Japan or Singapore? How many mechanical Engineering student with impressive Cgpa can fix a simple fault in a car? Why study electrical engineering when u are rest assured you will end up a teacher or an okada rider? Why Phamacy when u will only use your certificate to sell drugs in a chemist? Brothers, if you are wise, never waste your precious time, money and energy schooling here in naija! Learn a trade with that money and instead of spending 5+years in one open prison called school, use that years to masters a profession, I can bet you that u will end up enploying that mumu that went to naija school! Don’t get me wrong sir! I’m not saying education isn’t good BUT if your line is education, simply find a way of checking out to study! There are so many countries you can go and u get quality, standard and even affordable schools with easy visa process. Check my signature for update and if Seun and his people block my signature...

GLOBALINF: The problem is with us. We are mostly not creative and innovative. The question is "How do we turn the little we have learnt to something meaningful? I can tell you that so many industrial chemists can't prepare a "solution" that is because I am an Industrial Chemist. This is not because we were not taught how to do it in school but because many, knowingly or unknowingly, refused to learn it. This also applies to other disciplines. A car or a chemist shop is not what a mechanical engineer or a pharmacist does. I have seen many Nigerians travel abroad to study, and when the return they still don't get a job or start a good business. By the way can you tell us which skill have you mastered so we can learn from your own experience. |

OP....in as much as u are right, parents have d responsibility of guiding these children, but not forcing them....some children want to be doctors because they read *Gifted Hands*, or see doctors on immaculate white, some footballers because they love CR7 or Messi... I have seen students aspire in fields where they don't have the required talents, we as parents and teachers should also help nurture these talents and guide them accordingly.... One of d problems in Nigeria is that u cannot set a timeline for sch because uncertainty in getting admission first and strike cum some civil disturbances, then after sch the mother of all frustration called unemployment. 1 Like |

My parents were enlightened so they allowed us all to follow our path.... Running your own business is added security because most companies don’t operate on a take care of all individuals there is also monopoly that’s why someone who’s Mum hooked them up with a job can even dream to talk nonsense to someone who went for interviews ..I would rather succeed on my own merit and give effort to whatever I do.

My dad said i either study geography or economics.I am gifted in fixing things,electronics,figuring things out.I told him it is electrical electronics or computer engineering i want to study.My mum believed in studying what you enjoy doing and where you talent is naturally.It was not easy.My dad said if you want to study computer,you go and train yourself.I told him if i do not study electrical electronics or computer engineering...There is no need me going to school because i can never study what i do not want.With the help of my mum my dad agreed and i study computer.Today,i am a certified computer engineer, training thousands of youths every year to become engineers and support themselves financially.I enjoy my work,i enjoy teaching,i enjoy fixing computers and today i have no regrets.Parents should support the talents in their kids and everyone will want to work because it is what they enjoy doing.U MUMMY...THANK YOU!!! |
