Exactly, quite sad.

But on setting up lab as a Medical Microbiologist. Can you brief me more on it? Is it a diagnostic or research related lab?

It's a diagnostic laboratory...

Naijaarchive:

Alright thanks man. Perhaps I was misinformed. Some people told me a med microbiologist/microbiologist needs the certificate of a MLS to set up a diagnostic, but not a research lab. You know how true this is?

Where are Educational courses..?

Samcent:


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.

I agree with the latter but not the former..

One thing people don't understand is, microbiology is the most ubiquitous discipline I have ever seen. Come to think of it, a microbiologist can decide to delve into public health, just like a medical doctor. A microbiologist can go into bioinformatics, immunology, vaccinology, biotechnology, et cetera. Not to talk about the ever-extensive branches of microbiology itself, such as water, pharmaceutical, soil, industrial, environmental, petroleum, medical, et cetera. I mean, I don't think anyone would ever regret studying microbiology, if at least the person has the right mentality and tools about opportunities around him and how to exploit them maximally.

Finally, when you study a course, don't limit it to Nigeria, please look beyond your shore, dare to change the world and get the best from whatever you study.

Disagree with this?

[quote author=ActionTaker post=93700137]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![/

Public relations, Human Resource Management, and may be

Thanks for the reply.

toprealman:
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.

Yes man.

Soon A.I and Robots are even gonna take many jobs, not so soon in Nigeria though...

School sometimes feel like a waste of time... I hope you are not selling dreams

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.

for clarity sake can you please define normal microbiology?

Having the knowledge alone is enough

I didn't see Philosophy and Igbo Linguistics

Only agriculture n estate management I see dere abeg. Civil engineering is also good if u have

Even after studying any aforementioned course, to get work na another wahala

Estate Management all the way i'm preparing for my M.sc

Not sure about that.. The certificate should cover private practice unless there is a mixup cos even UNN confirms it

Can't be said any better

Mokason28:
last last skol nah scam

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, Microbiology encomes numerous sub-disciplines including virology, bacteriology,
protistology, mycology, immunology and
parasitology.

Chuku graduated as a microbiologist. Chima completed his apprenticeship as a electrician. Chuku is still searching for job 3years after graduation. Chima gets a job with PHCN 6 months after. Chuku brags to Chima about his university education. Chima comes to Chuku for electric bill. Chuku pleads with Chima, says he has no job. Chima disconnect Chuku's light.

merieam16:
Are u minding him ni,me that even interviewed a petrochemical engineering graduate in a school i'm managing recently

can u tell me more about it ??

Uyi168:
..
Whats lucrative about microbiology??

Coronavirus

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

.
I GO SOON SWEAR FOR THIS OP because OF THAT MICROBIOLOGY WEY I SEE, IF NOT FOR ICT WEY I LEARN N TEACHING WORK, E FOR DON BEE FOR ME

derbykol:
Petrochemical engineering is overrated.

Okay...so d courses mentioned above is underrated

Mokason28:

That’s why Igbo people are still the richest people in Africa because they don’t put skol first... Ewu

where is your proof.

shegzhkn:

can u tell me more about it ??

about wat

NigeriaB:
11. Medicine and surgery



People also underrate this course and I think it could be lucrative

This was the mistake a lot of us Science students made.

I discovered late.... That OCCUPATIONAL/GENERAL HEALTH AND SAFETY Sits on top of it like a king. PUBLIC HEALTH is big bro...

Study Special Education and thank me later. More lucrative than Medicine!!!

merieam16:
Okay...so d courses mentioned above is underrated

Studying Petrochemical engineering in this present Nigeria is not promising.

Get smart solutions to your financial empowerment...

MB, BS?? I can't see anything about med microbiology here.

Irrespective of the course you studied, just ask for the grace of God to follow you.

Exodora:
Not everybody study to hammer , some are there cause of the ion they have for the course or education.
Some doctors are still very poor like wise some engineers etc.

Thank you, best comment so far.
