Getting a job is not equal to residency. They are not the same.

OPT , H1B are all temporary work visas, same with U, R, L visas. Even F1 student visas that permit you to work with restrictions is still temporary, once you are no longer studying you can not work with that status.

Taal17:
Nothing is guaranteed, worst case scenario you calculate those risks and determine what you can afford to lose .

Even in Nigeria getting a job is not guaranteed.

I honestly don't think you have really really asked yourself why you're worried.
You want to immigrate through student route...you have lot of steps to pass through before you even start considering getting a job. Plus getting a job is not equal to getting to stay back.
Relax

Just don't burn all your bridges back in Nigeria and set a plan B or C..

How does the 3- months entry visa policy affects you when you are aiming to successfully graduate from a U.S institution, or have you seen any Nigerian or African undergraduate in the U.S that was deported because of the policy. Or what policy are you talking about ?

One of the best ways to stay back and live not only in the United States but 75% of most countries of the world is to secure their study visa and graduate successfully in a demanding courses of study (especially Msc & Phd).

Human wants are insatiable (Economic theory), therefore, for the fact that you are not feeling fulfilled in your current occupation doesn't mean that you are poor or suffering. Hence , you do not have to quit your job like a 5- yr old kid who throws away McVitie's biscuits on the sight of N50 note in his mother's hand. Thus, you can always resign gracefully from your job after you must have gotten the visa successfully.

Look, there is no doubts you need to clear other than the fear in your mind, courtesy of unconfirmed rumours. United States has many opportunities for all the citizens and residents , and those who have managed to graduate with outstanding results (Phd) are definitely going to be retained into the academia or manufacturing research. Bsc & Msc graduates from all the public research Universities in the U.S has the options of OPT, graduate assistantship, work-study , career fairs where employers come to campuses to look out for the best performing undergraduates and graduates, etc.

So, are you still waiting to clear your doubts or you want to take the next steps ? He who hesitate is dead (English proverb).

Hello, I just took the online logical reasoning test, I must say it really isn’t logic, but a test on how strong your vocabulary is.

Sincerely even someone who studied English/Linguistics in school won’t be able to scale through such test easily.

sojious:
Check your inbox guys, the email for the second test has been sent.

You can start by having a foundation in Python, learn the basics of Python. It’ll aid you in leading data science

Dhavido:
Baba, I still dey learn myself but I go fit direct you to some video resources on YouTube depending on the aspect of programming you wan enter

nullbyte:
In learning programing you need to learn while building real world applications. Most tutorials will go the "Hello World" direction.

IN learning python, i started by learning how to build networking tools and that helped me in my field as a network engineer.

Which language are u learning? Let me know and I can recommend how to learn by building real world applications.

Dhavido:

Yes, do WES evaluation to make your Poly result be on same scale as University

All4good:
You are welcome to link up sir. Though we continue to share ALL we know here, so many can't benefit even long after we are gone.
Shalom

MyAmericandream:
Just USA only. Funding/scholarship are mostly for STEM courses.

If I were you, as a family man, I will stay in Germany to help my Kids pickup a 2nd language. Learning spoken languages are as important as learning programming languages.

As for job availablity for Data Analyst, I don't think it's limited by Space or Environment. There are just too many remote job openings for Data Analyst, meaning you can work from anywhere.

MyAmericandream:
No need jare, waste of time. All you need to do is convert it via wes. The school that gave me my i20 ( admission letter) wanted my real OND and HND transcript not the the WES evaluated one. They gave me admission just like that.

drhammed:
Concordia University, Canada now offers a new MSc & PhD in Chemical Engineering.

Email Professors in that department, (see list of Profs below) and apply to join their 1st Cohort.

Also, see research areas in the department, in the link below.

Good luck.

https://twitter.com/drhammed/status/1389253076649922569?s=21[/quote]Can a student that finished from a polytechnic apply for this?. Or do I have to go to WES first

GNwafor:
This is a very interesting question.

First, I will advise you to do the Credential Evaluation with WES.

Second, after the Credential Evaluation is completed, you can get admission to CONTINUE your studies.

But before I go further, what area did you major in your NCE? Again, what area of study do plan to venture into?

Provide answers to these questions, so that I can guide properly.

MyAmericandream:
Why not try US? I'm also HND too. I got Msc admission from different schools in the US.
