Can i learn this three at once?

Depends on how much free time you have on your hands.

For a start, you could go on Telegram and search for "African WifiPreneurs' Forum" . Join it. You'll learn copywriting for free. A lot of the people there regularly get gigs on Upwork.

For now, I use Windows Movie Maker for my videos. I've also heard Adobe Premiere Pro and a couple of other softwares are good too for video editing. You could get them and download tutorials on YouTube on how to use them

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, so by next year or next two years, it is now 100% certain that i will leave for the United States of America.

Though i am educated but what i have come to understand is that in our world today, most especially in the United States of America, learning a skill is very Very important and you can can never go broke or jobless if you have certain skills in the United States of America.

So i want to use the rest of this year to acquire a skill that will be of great help to me when i get to America.

So i have decided to learn interior home and office designing and decorating.

I want to ask if acquiring a skill of interior design is the best for me or what are the top skills you think i can acquire or someone can acquire before travelling to the United States of America.
Video coverage and photo graphy thank me later

If I were you, I will learn how to drive a truck and repair it.
One of the most reliable truck used by Nigerians is Mark and it's owned by USA. I assure you , many logistics companies will want you to work with them

With all these skills list from Ugaboy, I will add just two more skills
Top I.T skills
Graphic design
Digital marketing
Video editing
Programming
Data science
My addition is nursing, though most people are staying away from hospital work, by the time you are ready to relocate to USA, COVID will be in the past or there will be a vaccine. You will never go hunger if you are a registered nurse. The second is airplane mechanic. With these additional two skills you are certain companies will be looking for you.
Good luck

you can choose to learn anything various members have listed ,it will come in handy at one point but the fact that I know is when you arrive USA, it might take you 1-3 months before you can work and think of this, it might take you another few months to acquire certificate for you to apply for a job but it all depends on your host whom can put you inline so as you can find job easily.

One skill I will advocate for you to learn is braiding.. just learn how to braid. Don't learn other things relating to hair styling such as applying chemicals etc because if you want to learn all those you need a certificate for it and the govt go check you on that where you need a permit etc..

With Braiding, there is nothing like certification, no govt approval etc.. you can braid girls hair in your house, in their house even though we know the law states that you should not braid hair in homes but a shop. Many people braid hair in homes.. after all, if you want to start, you have to start from home and then later find a shop.

There is money in braiding, as a starter you can make $150 a day.with time,you will build your clientele and you can earn $700.

A beninois gf did this, she usedto earn $10 per hour working in hotel,warehouse which was $80 per day. When she started braiding, she was making $150. Today, that girl whom I usedto visit in her house braiding, has a shop, employing 2african girls who are student. What she makes a day, she can pay for her shop rent in 1 week. That girl earns $700 in a day. And her hair pricing are moderate. Same story to a Nigerian girl that I know, she makes more money than the beninois, employing girls in her shop..but her hair pricing is high..

Let me just say this , nothing comes easy in life, you have to work but you have to be smart about it.

I can also say, if you learn how to become an electrician, you should be able to negotiate with the staffing agency between $24-$28 per hour as long as you know the job. As an electrician, you are sure of having 56hours per week. Do the maths..

Construction, plumbing is owned by Hispanics, they will want to pay a black man low until you proof you can do the extra....

In fact, everything pays in the USA but I just gave you a bullet point as how things will be if you are to come new in America and which is best to breakthrough if you know the skill involve..

Merci mon frere!!!
So long as your willing to come dere and do something legit, then they is alot of money to go around.

You have to project or forecast what the market will be a year before you arrive US and its sustainability fives years after that. If you will enter next year then think of where USA is this year and what markets say. By market I mean consumer demand and needs. Currently health and medicals are in huge demand. Will it sustan till 2026 (five years after you arrival)? Yes. Get a certified training in medical field, social work (family counselling), pharmacy assistant. Make sure your training is from an accredited school and your certificate and license have recognition and value. I dont know this for a fact but you might have to do another training once you enter to upgrade you and re-license you for their own practice.
