There are many Somalis with Engineering, business, Science and arts, IT. eccenomy Bachelors, and even Some with bachelor of Science with a major in Astronomy and Astrophysic who are taxi drivers floor cleaner's, Security, Club promoters. shop owners, normal general office work you will find many of them in here who have jobs very different of what they study many years.

Having a Degree is not something to be proud of my friend this is not Africa or third wold. Degree won't even get you girls. it's all about what you do with your degree and your experience that counts here in the western world.
How about opening a firm back home? What are the chance of becoming successful?

My advice to those people is to go back home and create opportunities for themselves. Somaliland/Somalia need engineers, doctors, accountants etc.
what can a person who already fail to get a decent job in his own field do back home? there are plenty of locals who are unemployed doctors, engineers, accountants back home. Taxi driver from UK/USA/AUSIE have no money to invest and wont settle $200 doller a month jobs. the only thing that a taxi driver do to contribute the local economy is waste his hard earn cash chewing kat, renting hotel and eating from different maqaayad everyday like your mate Theyusuf

My friend depends what kinda of firm you want to open and invest, there are plenty of opportunities, I personally know Security firms similar to " group four security" are big and very successfully businesses in South and central Somalia, some of my family members who setup one years ago are now millionaires, it involves hiring militia with somali technicals, giving them unique dress and do professional job. their clients are the , UN, EU, NGO's and foreignes who need security to get around towns and places because of the risks and you looking after their well been they pay BIG money.

this type of business is not for everyone, there are plenty other new or existing investment opportunities if you want to setup a firms, Somali's like new things and if you bring something new an example would be like Mogadishu pizza house 7D Cinema, every single person who can afforded wanted to see then you will be the talk of the town and that is how to become successful.

:lol: Did you just say that taxi drivers have nothing to invest? I don't know where you live but in my area , taxi drivers are getting money. Also, everyone I know who has a degree in engineering, medical sciences and accounting is working in those professions.

Plus the skills you are taught in engineering is also conducive to setting up businesses and being economical.

Hmm, so then I would assume there was no research component to your master's and it was just course-based. Am I correct? Why would you want to do a PhD which is practically a research degree unless you want to be some kind of a researcher. I have never heard of a PhD program with no scholarships so funding shouldn't be an issue. But expect to work on some obscure and theoretical problem that isn't even well-defined for the next 5 years that might not even end up having a solution in the end. It's not an easy path at all sxb but inshallah you get there and through if that is truly your goal. :up:
i find heat generation to me interesting since telecom/electrical machines tend to heat over time.
for example,Take this problem

Suppose that a cup of hot coffee at a temperature of T0 is set down to cool in a room where the temperature is kept at T1. Then the temperature of the coffee as it cools can be modeled by the function . Here, f(t) = (T0 - T1)ekt + T1 is the temperature of the coffee after t minutes; t=0 corresponds to the initial instant when the temperature of the coffee is T0; and k is a (negative) constant that depends, among other factors, on the dimensions of the cup and the material from which it is constructed. [We get this formula in calculus and is based on Newton's law of cooling.] Here are the two problems I want to discuss this week.
Problem A: Suppose that a cup of hot coffee at a temperature of 185°F is set down to cool in a room where the temperature is kept at 70F°. What is the temperature of the coffee ten minutes later? Use k = -0.15
Problem B: Suppose that a cup of hot coffee at a temperature of 185°F is set down to cool in a room where the temperature is kept at 70°F. How long will it take for the coffee to cool to 140°F

My detailed solution is here since i am also a tutor there

Why are you eager to work for someone else, start your own enterprise and put your little maskax to use mate !

Waaryadheehaan, I'm either going to start studying mechanical or civil engineering, the latter being the preferred choice.

If I study mechanical engineering, what sub-branches of mechanical engineering involves the most urban-infrastructure related stuff?

I want to go into urban planning, like
constructing roads, buildings, sewer-systems...basically all the vital things needed to create a world-class city.

Have a try at this more complex and abstract heat transfer problem for you to consider:

A solid with heat capacity C1 at temperature T1 is placed in contact with another solid with heat capacity C2 at a lower temperature T2 < T1. What is the change in entropy of the system after the two solids have reached thermal equilibrium?

Answer: C1*ln[(C1T1 + C2T2)/(C1 + C2)T1] + C2*ln[(C1T1 + C2T2)/(C1 + C2)T2]

Hint: integrate the second law of thermodynamics.


A classic problem from my notes many years back.


I am puzzled by your interests in your first post is all. Generally, heat dissipation and transfer issues are incredibly trivial in RF systems and microwave circuits (where you deal with antennas, transmission lines, etc) unless you are dealing in a very small subset of power systems where the two issues could theoretically intersect.

Mathematics generally gets far removed from practical applications after second year. Much of the material past PDEs (partial differential equations) has very little applications outside of theoretical physics research, computer science research, and economics research i.e at the PhD level. For physics, that happens after the third year (quantum mechanics at the high energy limit, particle physics, atomic physics, advanced relativity theory, etc) where the only useful course as far as industry is concerned is the senior solid state/condensed matter course, a lasers or advanced optics course, and the lab courses.

Jobs depend on the location. If it is possible to get the p.eng license with a related degree and some electives, as is the case in many places, then engineering is possible but I would say don't bank on it these days. Most from what I seen find work in the financial sector, data science/analytics, or software development.
