'Make no small plans for they have no power to stir the soul'- Niccolo Machiavelli.

To me engineering is not just a means to a good job and better life; it is a part of me. The overwhelming satisfaction I got the first time I change a defective RAM in an old computer at home at the age of 12, practically defined my career plan and ambitions.

After I obtained my bachelor's degree, it has been difficult to secure a job as engineer, which has presented a new challenge in my career plan. I re evaluated and understood that I lacked very specific skills that employers which my passion for engineering could not bridge, hence my decision to pursue an advanced degree in the UK.

My short term ambition is to secure a job as a Process control engineer in a manufacturing, production or an oil and gas firm. I also plan in the long term to become a lecturer in a government university, because in my job search experience I noticed a great gap between what I learnt in school and what is required in the industry. I still believe that even though scholarships like NLNG scholarship is helping to develop Nigeria but having seasoned lecturers with relevant industry-based experience to teach future generations of Nigerian engineers will be most effective.

This is the paragraph you actually answer the prompt. I think it is good if you can be little more descriptive about your short term and long term goals. For example, tell why you particularly like that job etc.

Thank you duni, the problem is trying to fit in why I like the job and everything in 250 words
