Depending on his interest he can go into so many things but no matter what he chose, he must be very hard working, that's the number one skill.
If he's the type that have interest in looking good, he should acquire skills in barbing, hair plaiting and fashion designing.
If he's the type that can work in construction, bricklaying, plumbing and carpentry will make him live comfortably within two years.
If he's the industrial type, he should go and learn how to drive fork lift.
If he's computer savvy, some updated IT skills will help.
Above all, all these skills will just help to navigate your way there's nothing like being an entrepreneur. Look closely into e-commerce and thank me later.

Okay. That makes sense then.

I think that would be a good route to go.

If i may ask, if he joins the military; is he gonna become a combatant?
Can you elaborate please on the process if you don't mind?
It'll be highly appreciated. Thanks

There are dozens of jobs he can choose from. He doesn't have to be infantry unless his line scores are so low that it is the only MOS he will qualify for. He can be a pilot, computer scientist, mechanic, construction engineer, etc. All he has to do is pass with a good score on his asvab test.

To begin with, what is he relocating there for? Education or what? Does he have permanent residency or work authorization that would allow him to work legally? If answer is yes to the work authorization question, then the advise below would suffice.

Tell him to learn some Automation Software Testing Tools like Selenium WebDriver or HP UFT. He can also learn some Test Manangement tools like HP ALM or JIRA. I know about all these tools because I work with them and I know how much experts in those tools are being sought on a daily basis.

If he doesn't have the time to learn all the listed tools, he should try and learn Selenium WebDriver and maybe HP ALM.
He can get the Selenium Training video course on www.udemy.com for $10.

He will thank me later.

In practicing these skills, does it requires contact with hardware or it's completely a technical skill?
You do not need any more contacts with hardware than the computer(s) you have the tools installed on. Only thing you need is being able to write some JAVA code. And don't be scared, you don't need to be a guru in JAVA before you can learn Automation. The course on udemy that I studied is well designed for people with little or no programming skills whatsoever.

No matter what skill you have in Nigeria before emigrating to the US, once you emigrate your certificates will not be valid. You will need to get the training here and obtain their certification.
Right now I live in the US and I can tell you that the certificates I came with are not valid until I had to do some recertification trainings in the states.
Somebody coming here with an already obtained certificate for some skills can only have the advantage of grabbing the training fast since he or she already has the experience.
Ask your cousin to go learn truck (trailer) driving; that will only help him to grab the CDL-A training fast when he comes to the US. CDL drivers are highly needed in the US. They make good money.
He can also learn e-marketing. With this skill, he can come to the US and be making money on his own as an affiliate marketer. The training requires a good coach that can always put him through in areas he may be having some doubts. It requires absolute mastery otherwise he will be loosing his money and not be making anything and feel frustrated.
He can also come and join the medical field and once he becomes an RN, or obtains his BSN he will all be smiles and be searching for me for appreciation. It may take upto 5 years. But trust me 5 years is not such a long time.
pls I wish to continue my teaching in U. S bt I've only NCE. What would be ur advice?

Every single "onise owo" he can. Sewing,carpentary,plumbing etc

He should learn as many as possible. The value of these services is much higher there. Even if he doesnt commercialise it. He can use the skills to cut costs.


Make sure he has his papers. Specialy to work or else it will all be in vain
