Where to Work as a Civil Engineer
Engineers is not very popular in Nigeria. Here, engineers are only allowed to work anywhere. They can also work in companies and in fact anywhere that have machinery . However, some engineers do work is research institutes and other places of work. So before you apply for Civil engineering, make sure you foresee the future and think what you will like to do with the degree after graduation.
