This is the Nairaland I fell in love with. Nice work Seun. I started my IT from my first year mainly because I wanted extra cash. I wanted to buy a sleek phone then lol. I grew into the job. I learned on the job. During my iT I realized that most illiterate that are manual labourers on the field even have more technical know how than graduates because of the working experiences they've been exposed to. Throughout my internship, none of the things I learned in engineering school came in handy. The field is totally different. It's a whole new school. @Op just be ready to learn, be open to ideas and new tricks. Learn to tolerate people too. People will try to boss you around or sometimes throw funny attitude at you, this and many more are things you need to expect when dealing with people.Work on your 'people skill' while learning your craft, You'll love the experience. 3 Likes |

Am a mechanical engineer, did IT in a petroleum refinery in kaduna. I had a wonderful experience, learned so many things that are real from the class work work, physics, thermodynamics, stress analysis, strength of material etc. It was really good experience. Also met a lot of friends from different institution and back ground. Just be humble and show interest in learning. |

My IT was productive (I studied chemical engineering). I Interned at the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company at the production unit and the experience gained fashioned my career path. It influenced my undergradute project and choice of discipline at the masters level. 3 Likes |

franchasng:I agree with everything you said but most importantly this very one. Robotics was in my curriculum back in school and I was so much excited at the prospects of learning it. Behold, the time came and all we did for the semester was line drawing and labeling!!! That was the day I lost every zeal for schooling. My only motivation to read was that I have younger sisters and would want to lay a good academic precedence for them. That also made me not to go for nysc Coz I didn't see myself as a worthy engineering scholar! But today I do 3D printing, embedded systems, data since and a little artificial intelligence. Just that there are very few places to practice. But the future is so so bright. 1 Like 1 Share |

truthsayer009: its good to be versatile. I like her spirit. Most graduates are unemployable bec. they are one way traffic. Delving into different things will make you to be exposed to different things. |

Blackicegold: Yes, very possible especially if on a 6 months or one year I.T. For you to be eligible for selection to make the crew, you must have impressed your supervisor and or manager, as one who is hardworking, dedicated and some brilliance or intelligence. However, you will be given or undergo some safety trainings like swimming/survival at sea training. |

Studied Elect Elect Engineering from known Polytechnics in Eastern Nigeria. Both the four(4) months and One(1) year IT was just a hell as I hard to suffer daily to raise some money to buy stuffs for practical with non of my family and friends was ready to support me financially. ITF too come fall my hand when dey failed to pay me 10k after d 4months IT. Just saying its a period of continues struggle. |

franchasng: Hanty, I disagree with your second paragraph pls. On the contrary most of those that studied or studying medicine on the average are smarter compared to engineering students. Majority of these medical students were even exceptionally good in maths. So it's much more easier for a medical doctor to take on any other course compared to the engineer. 1 Like |

generationz:My dream for studying engineering as a youngster then was to become a renowned inventor like some German and American inventors I so much cherished then and studied every of their step, but unfortunately, finding myself in the Nigerian dead higher institution killed that dream, and I ended up studying to make best grades and possibly get employment in top IOC. You know human dreams and goals changes as one advances in age and as you get more life experiences and exposure, so after graduation and gaining some real life experiences, my goals changed....from becoming a bookologist and inventor to becoming a company owner, an industrialist, and maybe a rare-breed of politician not the thieves you have in Nigeria now. So my studying law is part of preparation for the future not to be employed or to be going to the court to practice, but for personal defense, experience, empowerment and business expansion. I am heading towards Labour & Industrial law anyway. So I didn't further in Mechanical Engineering because I don't plan going back to full time engineering practice, that time has passed in my life, there are new goals now |

Devops: It was during my semester holidays. Once I did my first holiday interning with them, the slot remained open for me throughout my time in school. First semester breaks were 6 weeks long, second semesters' 12 weeks. I was duly paid allowances, the take home from weekly contract test and maintenance job at other coys was way too alluring. I almost didn't want to go back to school It helped groom me. I was seeing and understanding engineering beyond the classroom. Project works were piece of cake for me, because I'd the on field knowledge and technical know how. 1 Like |
