ayooyee: Statistics tell us that the average American family make 50k annually That is roughly $4,000 monthly before taxes So I will think that if you and your spouse make about N500- 600k monthly and above,you shouldn't move in a hurry. |

Babyosisi, Ogugua, Phema and other contributors thanks for good job you guys are doing. For those still in school wishing to port, another route is to graduate with a first class and then even b4 graduation start applying to universities. USA schools like to attract the best talent and if you impress them , you can get a full scholarship. My school mates who graduated with first class in maths are all abroad in good schools, 2 are even in Harvard. Those who didn't got good jobs at home. Education I think is a good route to go 5 Likes |

ayooyee: Atlanta is a relatively cheap city,you won't live lavishly on that amount but you can have your needs met You can get a 2 bedroom apartment in OK areas of atlanta suburbs like marrietta for $800 a month You can get a good and reliable second hand car for $3-5k and pay in installments. There is no reason why a young couple cannot live on that amount and save money at the end of the month As long as you don't join the high society Nigerian groups and clubs and their parties,you should be OK |

According to US department of labor http://www.dol.gov/whd/minwage/america.htm Highest hour rate is 9.19$ Washington Lowest Hour rate is 5.15$ Georgia Designated working hour for full time is 40 hours (Overtime or part excluded) For two weeks wages - 9.19$ X 40 = 367.6 x 2 = 735.2 On a regular Job in Washington For two Weeks wages - 5.15 X 40 = 206 X 2 = 412 $ On a regular Job in Georgia For a Payment in Washington $ 1470.4 Minus Tax which could be close to 300$ or More depending on the dependency you claim in your tax Same is Applicable to All states. For Further clarifications, Please use the above analysis . Mind you, it varies per job, Skilled Jobs brings more money and you pay more tax. So for an average New immigrant from Nigeria with No Skill,Either you go learn a Certified skill by the Government or Work in stores and Factories with a Pay not above 10$.. Hey i am not hating anyone or discouraging But if you are in Nigeria, working and earning above N120K and still not Paying our Government Tax Not Paying Automated Car Insurance,Health Insurance and others,But have a Visiting Visa and want to abandon Your Nigerian lifestyle,when you dont have an immediate Family.. |

baba ajala: gud day sist @ babyosisi pls i rily need ur help on this: If you are about to finish your Programme in Months time (sorry ASUU) is on strike Finish the Programme CNA , Certified Nursing Assistant is a Skill Job that is obtainable within 2- 8 weeks in some School /Nursing Homes or Training Center or Even Online training. Its cost is within 700$ -1500$. Basic requirement is ability to speak English Language, Understand it and Pass the State examination Thus, the issue of transfer from Elect to CNA Is no Go. If your host would allow u don't work awhile, then you can go back to school upon arrival. As at now, CNA's are sought after and over 750,000 Positions would be occupied in the coming years. Its a start up job and not for someone to stick to forever. 1 Like 1 Share |

baba ajala: gud day sist @ babyosisi pls i rily need ur help on this: Do not abandon your studies at that level to come here I wish I could shout it from the rooftops If you do that,it may be the greatest mistake of your life Don't! I have seen people do it and they are full of regrets today I know a girl that abandoned her accounting course at UNICAL during a strike action and came to the USA to marry husbandi This is almost 9 years and she still has no degree. Don't make the same mistake. 2 Likes 1 Share |
