some how true

Naijaarchive:


Medical microbiology, the large subset of
microbiology that is applied to medicine , is a branch of medical science concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of
infectious diseases. In addition, this field of science studies various clinical applications of microbes for the improvement of health.

As far as Nigeria is concerned this is more lucrative than the normal microbiology.

Apologies, but not in Nigeria of today. I wouldn't advise anyone to study just medical microbiology, instead studying the extensive microbiology is fine, then the person can choose a specification later. It is just too specific and medical microbiologists tend to have little or nothing to settle with here in Nigeria. as a Medical microbiologist, you don't have a place in hospitals or medical diagnostic labs, those places prefer those that study hematology, medical lab science, SLT, instead.. The only option I see for a medical microbiologist is settling down as a university lecturer, an option which is not always available. Or a research institute. Any contrary opinion?

Mowsid:
One of the best is estate management. Investing in real estate is very lucrative and yields alot. Take a look at Trump's House

U dey whine me?

Police academic too

Ajibade123:

as an art student you can take public relations, human resources and Even marketing if have economics

How about course that is related to building tech. for an art student?

I agree with Estate Management and Valuation... Very nice course...
Cybersecurity Science should be included too...

Are u minding him ni,me that even interviewed a petrochemical engineering graduate in a school i'm managing recently

Petrochemical engineering is overrated.

Proudly agriculturist!

How about course that is related to building tech. for an art student?

courses like building tech will require physics at minimum

abdullahi45:


Apologies, but not Nigeria of today.

Do you know how many private hospitals that need laboratory workers?, and the ability to set up your own private lab...(self employed)... Just read your full comments. I know people who study medical microbiology that have their own laboratories functioning well

OP,God bless u for adding my course in ur list.

It's not what you read in the university but what you make out of what you read, okay? Even in the most lucrative professions in the world there are paupers. You better focus on what you will do with what you've learned if you want to be happy with yourself now or in the remote future!

Nothing new here. OP there are courses you have never even heard about.
Last last, course na just title. The ko ko na the drive, grace and ability to think.

Microbiology is actually not lucrative in Nigeria even if you have a master's degree. The few lucky graduate (first class mostly)get employment as lecturers or actual microbial companies

Lol. Like I said again, private labs prefer hematologists, Medical lab scientists, and science lab technologist to medical microbiologists. I have had such encounter before. It will only make sense if microbiology is also certified and commercialised like MLS. It will intrigue you to find out we have more med microbiologists or microbiologists in the bank than we do in the diagnostic industry today..

With a functioning lab? A diagnostic or a research lab? Please clarify I am interested.

Ajibade123:

Ok, thanks

Uyi168:
Op, I just God beg u..
Remove microbiology from your list...

Seconded!

The inclusion of microbiology has discredited that list.

And let me remind the op that a degree in microbiology does not qualify one to work in a medical laboratory.

You are right, I studied an education course and I know many education graduates that are doing well for themselves with their certificates. Strong connection is much better than the course one studied.
