The unemployment plaguing Nigerians is one of the reasons many are emigrating to developed countries.

What though are the job opportunities available in these countries?
A publication by the Guardian in 2016 revealed that most of the jobs undertaken, were jobs Nigerians would deem beneath them in their home country.

However, there were also some good jobs in the mix.Below is a list that contains most of such jobs:-

1. Factory workNigerians, and by extension Africans can be found in most factories, doing the gruntwork and heavy-lifting to earn their keep.

2. FarmingA farm in the US is not like a farm in Nigeria, so most of this Nigerians will gladly do the work in better conditions, for better pay and with machinery and equipment.

3. Taxi driversMany of the Taxi drivers from Nigeria arepeople with a university degree, who haveto get some sort of certification to be employable and so have taken to driving taxis to keep body and soul together.

4. Mortuary assistantsWashing dead bodies in another man’s land is a running joke among Nigerians that reflects the reality. Many Nigerians work in mortuaries to earn a living.

5. Registered NurseFor many Nigerian women, this is the dream job, even their male counterparts are joining in the fray.They earn an average of $66,220 about N23 million annually, with top nurses making as much as $96,320 (N34m) and some earning less than $45,630 (N16m).

6. Information Communication Technolog (ICT)Knowledge of ICT or IT as it is more commonly called is one quick way to get ajob. Seeing that it does not require as much certification as conventional jobs, young Nigerians are plugging into the system and landing stable, well-paying jobs

7. TeachingFor those in the literary circle, landing a teaching job in colleges outside the countryis another way to job security being exploited. Many have been able to apply for a PhD and teach while they get it in lieu of paying tuition fees.

7b. Security

Most of those jobs still better then been in your own home town with a degree and unemployed. While the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Atleast overseas you have uneducated people working and still earning a decent living.
