Opening Note..........


THINK POSITIVE MEET POSSIBILITY......


You attract the subject of your thoughts to yourself.

What should be the most important motivation in choosing a career path? Considering one is young and has a lot of viable options which are potentially rewarding

Hi lomaxx,



When choosing a career path.


The first step is to know yourself. It is important that you first identify your Interests, Skills, VALUES and Personal Preferences in order to make a well-informed decision.




Another step is to know your VALUES. Values are the things that motivates you and moves you toward certain decisions, behaviours and goals. VALUES greatly influence the career decision making.





Lomaxx, what are you naturally drawn to?


Your response will help us know what should be your most important MOTIVATION in choosing a career path.

Beware of Environmental Influences In Choosing a Career Path.



Where you live in, who you live with, your friends, your family and what they do and believe in can influence your career decisions.




You must have your own standpoint in choosing a career path. Sometimes, what you see people do or a career path being chosen by almost everyone in your neigborhood can make you think you should go for the same thing. NEVER DO THAT! Rather make up your mind on what you want, be different and forge you own path.


Influence your environment!

TutorVISTA: Rather make up your mind on what you want, be different and forge you own path.

You've just answered my first question. Emphasis on the word "forge".

By "forge", i mean you should mind your business. Do not spend your time worrying how other people and the choices they make. Instead think of how you can make your life work through the choices you make.


Hope this answered your question?

CORRECTION: It should read; Do not spend your time worrying about (Not "how" as in the first reply) other people and the choices they make.

let me help the OP on this one ;d

Mechanical Engineering or Mathematics?
I will choose mechanical Engineering any time any day. The reason is partly because its the bedrock of all engineering disciplines, partly because its the most career promising profession, partly because its one of the most lucrative and challenging profession. The list is endless.
Mechanical engineers are needed everywhere, they are ever where.

Welding, Robotics, Automobile, Refrigeration, Production, Material, Aviation, Manufacturing, Construction,........ The list is #ENDLESS.

My advice to you will be to go to Unilorin[if and only if you you'll be able to switch to your Choice Course<Mechanical Engineering> in your second year]. If not, I'd rather you stay in Yabatech! Its a perfect grooming ground.

No one should have to go through the torture of Studying a Course he/she does not like for 4/5/6 years.

But EVENTUALLY,

You don't make the decision of a 5year journey in 5minutes. Get a career counselor TODAY!

Thank you @taiwolusol for your assistance.



Hi Cutiedave, your situation revolves around making choices. The strike by the polytechnics of which Yabatech was one of was what informed your decision not because you were doing badly with your course at Yabatech.


My Sincere Advice


Stay calm. Continue your Mech. Eng course at Yabatech. Don't go to Unillorin where you do not qualify to do what you love. Or do you love Mathematics? As far as i know, the career opportunities in Mech. Eng is so elaborate. You have a better chance of a good career in Mech.Eng.

Aggressive Lecturers


While in school, you will come across different lecturers with different ways of conveying their lecture to you.


Some of them might be friendly while some aggressive. The latter are feared by most students.


My advice to you is this. Do not be afraid of them. Approach them for questions. Their aggressiveness is a scheme adopted to make you pass their course.


When you get closer to them, you find that they are very FRIENDLY.
