Please all contribution are accepted thank you.
Well, now that you asked, I got a reply from quora that you might find meaningful

Find out what you love and go for it. If you like computers, make sure you're the best programmer.

Go online search for engineering jobs any field of engineering then go and search for programming jobs and come back and let me know which is one is more. For every one engineering job, there are 100 programming jobs. Some fields of engineering have like no jobs at all. Fields like petroleum engineering but they are seen as hot cake in Nigeria.

If engineering is where a person's interests lie, they should please go for it. Everyone cannot study computer science, programming...it's better to study a course you have the fit and talents for, e.g. person who is poor at Maths would struggle with CS.

There's a great misconception between computer science and programming.
You don't need to study CS to be a programmer, and you can study CS and not know how to program

4. Avoid any sort of distractions.
5. Do not be in hurry.

Well if someone is poor in maths, the person would also struggle in engineering. Some engineering courses have more difficult mathematics than computer science. I am talking about job availability. There's hardly any engineering jobs now. Core engineering. Everything is getting automated.

Yes, a reasonable girlfriend may contribute to ur success also.

Op, save every penny that comes your way. At 20 is the best time to get a plot of land, at 30, the land worth 1m will worth 10m.

Invest all you can so that by 30, na grooving all the way. Again, if u can save and escape the country now, thats the best thing u can do for urself

There is no misconception there.
CS curriculums include the basics of programming.

Of course, anyone can be self taught with programming, doesn't change the fact that CS provides a sound base of the core concepts, data structures etc.

Yes definitely, both courses require strong Maths skills.

My point was people should go for what is a natural fit for their talents and not just because it's hot at the moment.

If you are about to get into the university please put in for computer science. While in the university, be the best programmer you can possibly be. Take your core courses like data structures and algorithms and systems design very seriously as they are the Hulk of programming interviews. You would be spoilt for jobs when you graduate. Don't go for any engineering course. Medicine is good if you can leave Nigeria sha.

OP be careful with this advise... Whilst there are some Engineering courses still at the lowest ebb in Nigeria... The ones like
Civil, Electrical are really good... Then you mentioned programming... grin grin As an Engineering student if you have the interest Programming is easy to learn... Personally, I topped the joint engineering class of about 9 department in core programming courses including Computer Engineering and Computer Science student in my Year 2 Even as a Civil Engineering Student. Still in Year 4 though... Till today I still solve algorithms for CS and CE students and even take jnrs tutorial.. Coding is a thing of the heart... No. 1 Jose Portilla of Udemy a guru in Python is A Mechanical Engineer... I have been coding since secondary school...

So no rules anywhere... Though i am of the believe that everyone should know how to code.. E get why!!!

As an Engineer you can do anything you like... But the koko be say don't think of working for someone that's my only advice.

Everyone be saying CS... You can comfortably apply for Full CS course on Coursera with certificate from university of Michigan on Coursers... But you can never study Engineering online... Them no born you well gringringringringrin...

Commitment is the koko... As an Engineer you can enter anywhere and still survive...

Great Question.
1) Health is wealth. Hit the gym and eat healthy food. Try taking an apple, everyday.

2) We are in the internet age, ensure you have an internet business.

3) Learn a high income skill. Eg. Coding, graphics designer, forex trading, copywriting etc.

4) If you want to be rich, learn how to sell. The best way to also make money in sales is to sell something you truly belive in.

5) Network Network Network. In this century, if you are not helping people live better lives, you won't be successful. After you find a skill you are interested in, make sure you find a network marketing company to join asap. They will help you grow.

6) Focus on the future. You have to be now, who you want to become in future. Eg. Look at C-ronaldo. When he played for sporting fc, at that age, he never knew he would be the best footballer in the world. He only had a vision of being the best at what he choose. Football.

7) Stop chasing women, chase the bag. Once you are focused on your goals and dreams, you will attract the right woman for your life

cool Delete your friends. You don't need any friend now. Stay lonely and grind. You want real friends and not fakers

9) Read. This is because there are people who have achieved what you want in life. The best way to get close to them is to read their books. If you want to be a rich pastor like oyedepo, read his books. The bible says, follow the wise and you shall be wise.

10) GOD IS THE GREATEST. Find your purpose and follow it. Because one day, every man is bound to die. We all are going back to our creator.

The resources you need to succed is in Nigeria. It is only going to be hard because we are lacking the basic amenities needed in our country.

This is no excuse. Because the internet has leveled the success battle field. You just have to be disciplined and consistent in whatever you lay your hands on.

The best thing you can do for yourself is learning a skill even while you face your academics. You have all the time to yourself now, limit the distractions and learn a digital and/or financial skill and your future will thank you for it.




Face you books, your degree could also open doors for you.

My first advice: Hold God Strong

Second Advice: Get a Mentor

Ironically, the most successful people in the world are not religious people.

Is it you who would hold God or it's God who would hold you?

If this is the advise you followed yourself, I'm sure nothing would really work out for you.

Op,listen to this advise and make use of it.This is one of the best advise so far.Studying Engineering in Nigeria is more or less like waste of time and destinies.Thats where you will found the most fraustrated students and intelligent students droping out.Go for IT but if you intends traveling abroad you can choose Engineering.
