Which of these course guarantees a better life after graduation?

Ps: I have ion for medicine and surgery but I don't want to pursue that ion cause of the length and complications of studying it in Nigeria. So I am looking for a better alternative in either pharmacy or civil engineering, please I really need your sincere opinions(preferably from experts in either fields).
Need something lucrative in Nigeria and abroad(the money is needed oo, studying in Nigeria is hard enough).

I'd suggest you go for pharmacy. Because there are only two things selling in Nigeria : sickness and corruption.

For me, its pharmacy.
If job doesn't come, you open a pharmacy store.
Medical line is still the best

Pharmacy is cool, but no course is best in Nigeria if you no get connect.
Whichever you choose, plan to travel to a sane country after your studies.

If you’re talking about outside Nigeria both of them are okay but in this present Nigeria situation they’re useless. I rise

It is pharmacy
You can start your own pharmacy after graduation!

I am a civil engineer and I would definitely advise you to do civil engineering.

Nigeria is a developing nation, construction going up and down, you would definitely see jobs to do.

don't worry about quacks in the building industry. most clients would still call you when their buildings and other structures start experiencing cracks.

But why comparing Pharmacy with all the courses self??


Tomorrow now we will see "which is better between Pharmacy and Edo language".

grin

One even said civil engineering is better because one contract can change your life forever.

All these are probabilities, some legal drug deals as a pharmacist can also change your entire generation forever. cool

Lol... That is not even the point.

A pharmacist can lend out his license and be collecting salary every month or annually without working.

Basically, whichever course is better depends on individuals but if you come here to make career decisions you will end up more confused because some persons will still tell you their own course is better even if they are only using it to teach mathematics in private schools presently. lol

Nothing like "hmmm". I only laid down the facts for him. Even as we speak, I am pursuing a degree in Medicine due to the nature of Nigeria and jobless graduates roaming the streets

To avoid frustration, go for Pharmacy.
Anything Engineering is not ripe for Nigeria because there no enabling environment to practice.
The best is to be a teacher or lecturer .
But you can easily set up your own pharmacy if you don't get job.
Now that government hospitals are not working well everyone furn to private hospitals.
You may them to save a life or too.
My own opinion

First of all you must be very brilliant to be able to have the two options on your table. That's a plus to you. But if you do some critical soul searching you will find the aspect of science you feel more comfortable with. A potential Civil Engineering Student should be comfortable with Physics, Further Mathematics, Technical drawing and the likes. While for a Pharmacy student you should be really good with Biology and Chemistry and Mathematics. Fine you might have ed all of this courses in secondary school but I will advise you to pick the one that comes more natural to you.

Now the worst assumption anyone can give you is that Engineering is not worth it in Nigeria gringrin. That's a big lie, some Engineering might not be worth it but trust me Civil Engineering is worth it if you are well grounded in school. I have friends in my class that currently have cars and all came from executing projects whilst we are still UG's. Emphasis on the word knowledgeable. The thing with Engineering is that most students don't realize theirselves until after two years of graduation. But person wey don grab since UG will be making it well. Well I don't know the opportunities that are abound for pharmacy students. I can only speak about Civil.
With Civil Engineering you're spoilt of choices. Well I will still advice you to do some deep soul searching and choose the one that comes easy to you simple. But if you must do Civil Engineering you must be ready to sacrifice you all because incompetence is not rewarded in Engineering and we cannot cover our own mistakes like those in the medical line. To stay ahead of thousands of Civil Engineers currently you have to bring your A game to succeed. And also study Civil Engineering with an Entrepreneurship mindset if not you might end up building people houses and not have one for yourself. Good luck.
