I need answers from people living Abroad plsss 🙏🙏🙏

Is DEGREE needed to secure a job in the UK? My cousin wants to relocate there but he dropped out in the University and he's above 30yrs.

Thanks!

ednut1:
what does he do currently and what visa if he planning to do Getting certification without work experience is most times useless abroad. The Nigerians getting jobs in uk like nurses, doctors, auditors , HR, tech, logistics have degrees most times but its their work experience that gave them the job

50StarGeneral:
Thanks so much... He's a businessman.

ednut1:
so which visa is he trying for Mind you for student visa you can no longer go with family starting January 2024. And its almost too late to get admission for January now. So otilo

His plan is that student visa sadly though, he told me he would like to apply for a visit visa first and if successful, he will go there and see things first before concluding on permanent decision

Sorry to disturb you, Bro. I argued something with him but I will like to ask you. I told him that, no University will give him admission based on his age for a BSc course and even visa. But he said, someone told him he can still get admission and student visa (I guess an agent). How true is this pls? Thanks!

You or your cousin?

My cousin, sir. I studied Biochemistry. He's a big man...me, I be hustler

50StarGeneral:
Pls, my very close cousin needs advise. He dropped out in the university years back and he's 31years old, married. Now, he wants to travel to the UK too with his wife and daughter. His concern is that, is it possible to secure a job in the UK without a degree? Can you also recommend a "professional" certificate he can quickly get before relocating (if possible). Thanks!

It's possible, he can work at any of the fast food joints like McDonald's, he can do caregiving, there are lots of jobs in the West that doesn't require a degree.

Yeah… I think he can. He should apply to as many schools as possible.

If he is a "big man", why risk it to go and start low paying "hustle" without any end insight based on his limited education?

Can't he try the Canada route and use the wife as the principal applicant? If the wife is educated at the degree level, she could be the main applicant through student route while the "Oga" will be the dependent and face the hustle in Canada?

Having dropped out from school may be an indicator that he is not academically inclined and going through the rigorous academic exercise overseas may be challenging for him......studying overseas is not easy o for those that don't like book.....assignments and quizzes are many o.

Finally, if he is still insisting on studying, he can try career or public colleges and pick one or two year certificate or diploma programs in those colleges.....he should not try four year degree programs so that he doesn't get stuck. For me, I prefer the wife to be the main focus while he bankroll her since money is not an issue except if the wife is not a "book type" or that she is also a dropout. I have seen many business men that sponsored their wives and their kids relocated with wife and mother in law while "Oga" continued with his hustle in Nigeria and regularly visit them.....this is if "Oga" is sure of her woman o......there is a caveat o.

You get sense die walahi since Canada is possible through the wife, I will send this to him. The wife has HND in accountancy (I guess). Thanks alot man!!
