PLS PEOPLE I'M WRITING FOR GENUINE ADVISE.
I'm a medical doctor 30 years of age. Had my MBBS degree 2015 from Russia, I've completed my internship and Nysc and have 1 year post Nysc work experience.
Now I want to relocate to Australia to do Masters, so what I'd like to ask is;
1) what's d best career path for me? Cos I'm aware becoming an Australia licensed doctor is quite difficult.
2) Which Masters program should I do in a medical related field which is in high demand so when I'm thru I can easily get a job?
3) If I opt for Masters in nursing would I be eligible to be registered into the Australia nursing council after completion of the program cos I know nurses are highly sorted after in Australia.
4) Which part of Australia would I have THE MOST job opportunities in the health sector.

NB: I thought of applying for PR but one of the criterias for Doctors is to pass the AMC exam which is time consuming.

PLS HELP A CONFUSED MIND.

Hoping to hear you guys response soonest.

Thanks Dr Collins.
Nursing is a good way to get your PR fast. Make sure you do your nursing programme in a regional areas, and you can ask for credits , recognition of previous studies. That may shortened the time. Also if you have enough funds you can do accelerated nursing degree in Tasmania ,2 years , and with waivers on previous studies the duration may even be reduced . Check up anyway.

Hi Damsel020. I have enrolled in a doctoral program at AUC Brisbane campus with a Certificate of Enrollment issued already by the University. But am stuck in my visa application process. my studies Resumption date is the end of June 2022 and I cannot get an accommodation rental contract despite the best of efforts on Realestate.com. I applied for three accommodations around Durack via that site. I need help on how best to navigate this as I could not even generate my HAP ID, which is needed for medical screening for Australian visa requirements. Thanks for your guide on how to secure accommodation. Cheers
Getting rental may be tough now especially with less activity in building sector due to pandemic. I will advise you check online and look for contacts of indigenous Nigerian churches i.e websites in Brisbane. Contact them and they can help removing a bit stress out of your way.
Foreign AffairsWhat’s Behind US-NATO Warmongering Against Russia? by Bruxxels(op): 7:23am On Mar 02, 2022
In my curiosity on what might led to Russia invasion of Ukraine, I came across this write up.

The current United States-Russia crisis has its roots in Washington’s betrayal of its well-documented promise to Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev in the early 1990s to not move the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) eastward. Made during the breakup of the Soviet Union, then-US Secretary of State James Baker said NATO would not move “one inch” east.

NATO’s existence as an anti-USSR military alliance organised and controlled by the US dates back to the beginning of the Cold War. It has continued since with the expressed purpose to militarily confront Russia.

The US has more than 70,000 troops permanently stationed in European countries. It is planning to use the present crisis to send thousands more, including into former Eastern European countries, along with additional offensive weapons (called “defensive” by Washington) and other military hardware.

The US role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Great power rivalry and capitalist crisis
NATO now butts up against Russia and Belarus at the border with Poland and the Baltic countries. The US claims its “right” to also include Ukraine — which has the longest border with Russia — in its military alliance.

This would mean the US-controlled anti-Russian military alliance, including its military hardware and troops, would be up against the whole Western border of Russia, something Russia regards as an existential threat.

Origins of conflict
When Ukraine became independent due to the breakup of the Soviet Union — and the Soviet republics became capitalist due to a social counter-revolution that dismantled the nationalised planned economy — there was no enmity between Ukraine and Russia.

Ukraine agreed that the big former Soviet naval base on the Black Sea in Sevastopol, Crimea, would be leased to Russia. There is a connection from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean through the Bosporus Strait.

Crimea became part of Russia when it was conquered under Tsarina Catherine the Great in late 1700s from the Ottoman Empire. After the creation of the USSR in 1922, it became part of the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR), as it was populated mostly by Russians, while Ukraine became its own SSR.

Crimea was transferred from the Russian SSR to the Ukrainian SSR in the mid-1950s by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev (himself Ukrainian) for technical and logistic reasons. The move was largely unnoticed by the world since Crimea was still part of the USSR.

No one claimed that Ukraine had “stolen” Crimea from Russia.

By the breakup of the USSR, Ukraine had become a country with roughly 50-50 ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. Both languages were official state languages.

Ethnic Ukrainians dominated the western part of Ukraine, and ethnic Russians the eastern and southeastern part.

Oligarchs
Due to the workings of capitalism, the economies and politics of Russia and Ukraine became dominated over time by very rich capitalists (known in the West as “oligarchs”).

Ukrainian politics became chaotic, with charges and counter-charges of fraud in elections to choose which “oligarch” would be president and premier.

In 2010 Viktor Yanukovych, a Russian speaker from the east, was declared president in a disputed election. He agreed to extend Russia’s lease on its Black Sea naval base, which was up for renegotiation. This greatly angered Ukrainian nationalists.

In April 2013, Yanukovych sought to sign a treaty of association with the European Union (EU) in search of financial aid. But in November, just as the treaty was about to be signed, Russia offered a better deal on aid and a reduced price on natural gas into Ukraine. The treaty with the EU was scrapped.

Pro-West Ukrainian nationalists revolted and organised protests in Maidan Square in front of city hall in the capital, Kyiv (Kiev), calling for Yanukovych’s ouster. Undoubtedly there were at first many demonstrators who wanted the ouster of all “oligarchs”, not just “oligarch” Yanukovych. But it was the nationalists who dominated.

Included in the demonstrations were fascist nationalists, who looked to the Ukrainian collaborators with the Nazis in World War II for inspiration.

At one point they took over city hall and from its balcony overlooking the demonstrators in Maidan Square, displayed the collaborator’s flag patterned after the swastika. as well as the Confederate flag from the US. This was briefly on television in the US, but thereafter never referred to.

It was clear that the demonstrators saw the fascists as part of their movement.

As a result of the protests, Yanukovych was ousted with support from the military, and fled to Russia in early 2014.

The new Ukrainian nationalist government announced its intention to join NATO, which Russia correctly concluded would mean a NATO takeover of its Black Sea naval base. This caused it to retake Crimea and reject Ukraine joining NATO.

New regime targets ethnic Russians
The Ukrainian government demoted Russian as an official language and restricted ethnic Russians’ rights. There was a rebellion in the east against the new government that launched a bloody war in the region, causing 13,000 deaths and led 400,000 refugees to flee into Russia.

Far-right armed groups were the spearhead of the Ukrainian forces in this war.

The US and the West supported the Ukrainian side, while Russia backed the ethnic Russians’ side.

Eventually a stalemate was reached, with two states founded in the Donbas region that were in the hands of ethnic Russians: the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. Some skirmishes occurred on the border of Donbas, but there was no overt war.

Both Ukrainian and Russian remain official government languages in the Donbas.

Volodymyr Zelensky, who was not an “oligarch”, was elected president of Ukraine in 2019. While maintaining the position of eventually joining NATO, he has sought to keep the peace.

The fascist groups have not had much electoral support since 2014, but independent analysts say they have maintained support for their domestic policies through street actions.

While Zelensky still supports eventually joining NATO, there is no such move on the horizon.

New situation under Biden
Until US President Joe Biden took office and stepped up the militaristic campaign against Russia in 2021, the Russian government under President Vladimir Putin’s increasing autocratic rule had not been alarmed.

Putin has proposed a federal structure for Ukraine along the lines of the original Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015. This has been rejected by Ukrainian nationalists and the US because they want the Donbas crushed. That proposal, if implemented, would mean the two People's Republics in the Donbas would have their own elected governments within a united Ukraine.

The US and NATO’s proposed diplomatic solution is for Russia to capitulate.

The Biden administration and US military establishment have declared Russia, along with China, as the US’s main enemies. While the US continues its aggressive stance against China, it is concentrating on Russia today.

The US has renewed the threat of Ukraine joining NATO and become more belligerent.

Putin responded this year by mobilising troops inside Russia along Ukraine’s border and renewing its stance against the threat of NATO’s extension to this border.

However, Zelensky has not threatened to join NATO or to attack the Donbas, and Putin has shown no signs of invading Ukraine, despite the Biden administration’s claims.

There is no media campaign inside Russia — and the media in Russia is tightly controlled by Putin — whipping up the Russian people to prepare for war.

Zelensky has now openly broken with the US, telling it to stop the warmongering. He has also reassured the Ukrainian public there is no threat of war, something all Ukrainian people, both ethnic Russians and ethnic Ukrainians, very much do not want.

At the same time, his government has accepted military hardware from the US and NATO countries.

The Ukrainian people want to keep the peace they have established.

The Biden administration has ignored the Ukrainian government’s wishes and, along with the pro-Democratic Party media, is pressing ahead with its warmongering.

Europe
The NATO countries are not all behind Washington. Germany, in particular, has not joined Biden in stepping up armaments and forces to Eastern European countries on Russia’s borders.

France is playing both sides while calling for a more independent Europe.

Germany and France have signed trade agreements with China, against Washington’s wishes.

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi and Putin issued a joint statement on February 1 declaring the crisis must be defused.

Hungary is a member of NATO. After a five-hour meeting with Putin on February 2, Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban said proposed sanctions against Russia would be “doomed to failure".

“The [Russian] president was very calm and said that Russia’s demands for security guarantees are normal and should be the basis for negotiations. And I agree with that. We must negotiate,” Orban said.

At the end of January, a conference in Madrid of far-right leaders in Europe, including Orban and Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, issued a statement ignoring the crisis except for one sentence. The statement concentrated on affirming “family values,” keeping Europe’s countries Christian, keeping out immigrants, and denouncing EU “interference.”

Morawiecki has denounced Russia but is also under domestic pressure to take a stand against Ukraine for historical reasons.

Due to the conflict among NATO countries, the US military moves into Eastern Europe are being done unilaterally by the US and not in NATO’s name, although Britain and the Baltic countries are going along.

Rift in public opinion
A significant rift has developed within the US, reflecting its deep divisions. Tucker Carlson, the most important commentator on the pro-Donald Trump Fox News outlet, has attacked Biden’s warmongering. Other pro-Trump news outlets have joined in.

Trump himself has said publicly that it is “crazy” to be attacking Russia over Ukraine.

Trump’s fifty million hard followers get their opinions from Fox News, as does Trump. This bleeds over into his softer followers.

Some Republican politicians may want to join the warmongering but almost none will openly oppose Trump.

Carlson, who has Trump’s ear, likely believes his stance faces little opposition among the public. There are no mass actions endorsing Biden’s warmongering, as most people are not very interested in Ukraine or NATO and are mainly worried instead about the economy and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most people in the world have heard about Russia’s opposition to Ukraine joining NATO, and more Americans are becoming aware of it, after the sharp polemic between the US and Russia at the United Nations Security Council.

A commentator on CNN — which has been at the forefront of the media warmongering — made the absurd assertion after the Security Council meeting that the US was opposed to the eastward expansion of NATO but got dragged into it by former Eastern Europe countries.

Rugaria:
For no reason?
The problem here is that you are giving NATO and the West a free pass. In your mind, they're infallible. You really think the West never saw this crises coming? This crises have been brewing for over a decade. The West knows what they're doing. Russia knows what they are doing too. Russia understands Western manipulations and scheming and are basically trying to upstage them.

You have to understand how NATO works. Once you're a member of NATO, if you're attacked, all members of NATO have a duty to join hands to defend you. It means that the attackers will be facing the military arsenal of the whole of western Europe and others that are members of NATO. NATO is the biggest fighting block as at today and represents the biggest military danger to countries like Russia and China...

So what happens if Ukraine joins NATO and a president of Ukraine starts a sort of war with Russia? NATO will have to do something to defend Ukraine. That means that all of a sudden, Russia will have to fight The USA, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain , Portugal etc. These are some of the most sophisticated militaries in the world. You're going to face them over a minor squabble with your neighbor? Right at your borders! Especially a neighbor that has ethnic Russians as her citizens too?

This is very simple. I don't know why it looks so confusing to some. Russia is trying to get Ukraine within her sphere of influence. That's what you do when you're a super power. The Americans do it, the USSR did it, China is trying to do it. If you leave your flanks open, your competitors will enter an dismantle you. If you doubt this, try to make Mexico a strategic ally of Russia or China, .. The Americans will react even more ferociously than Russia is doing today to that. During the Venezuelan crises, The US did whatever it could to make sure that Russia never had a military post in Venezuela. Yet Venezuela has no border crossings with The United States. How much more a country with land borders with the US..
USA was livid that USSR was selling missiles to Cuba during JF Kennedy era. It almost led to war. The world economy is fragile now due to pandemic and adding this on top is no good. No good. Common people are the causalities.

Osole has been around for a long while but not as pronounced as it is now.. while we were growing up, they do warn us not to collect sweets or biscuits from strangers and not to pick up items for people we don't know.. It's common knowledge that some landlords use their houses for osole so as to be using their tenants glory to get wealth, some use furniture sets, bed frames, coffins, motorcyles, cabs, buses, trailers etc. for these evil purposes just to get rich and it's not a SW thing alone.

Next time you see a wealthy man, ask for his source of wealth and don't just be hailing and saying things like 'boss do giveaway'.. The irony is that those witch doctors doing the osole don't do for themselves or their family members, I guess they know the price to pay is too high whereas the teenagers and youths doing it have no clue.
You are absolute right. There are babalawos who have gave their lives to Jesus. One specifically said that, the babalawos will not tell their clients the whole truth until they are locked into the deal. Evil forces are real. Not a child's play but power of Christ greater than them all.

HealthCovid News: U.S. Hospitalizations Break Record As Omicron Surges by Bruxxels(op): 1:46am On Jan 15, 2022
There is massive increase in hospitalizations in America as Omicron surges. It was initial stated that Omicron strain is mild and "welcome" but as it is now its handshake has gone beyond the elbow.

The number of Americans hospitalized with Covid-19 has surpassed last winter’s peak, underscoring the severity of the threat the virus continues to pose as the extremely contagious Omicron variant tears through the United States.

As of Sunday, 142,388 people with the virus were hospitalized nationwide, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, surpassing the single-day peak of 142,315 reported on Jan. 14 of last year. The seven-day average of daily hospitalizations was 132,086, an increase of 83 percent from two weeks ago.

The Omicron wave has overwhelmed hospitals and depleted staffs that were already worn out by the Delta variant. It has been driven in large part by people younger than 60. Among people older than 60, daily admissions are still lower than last winter.

The hospitalization totals also include people who test positive for the virus incidentally after being admitted for conditions unrelated to Covid-19; there is no national data showing how many people are in that category.

Thank you.

Yes, I am seriously considering other options - Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth etc. I will be making another post to gauge/gather more info. Hearing from ppl who live there is always better than reading online.

And yes, I want to buy a detached house. I have a townhouse here and I want to buy a house next.

Thanks
Gympie is a good place but about 2 hours away from CBD, house prices affordable too. Just keep searching. Everyday, the prices are climbing higher and higher. Maybe if the covid fade away things will change. Most people are not building due to the reasons i said previously so there is a high demand for established houses in the market. https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/property-house-between-0-650000/list-1?activeSort=list-date&source=refinement
Even in Hervey Bay, naija are many here and well respected, houses prices are high. It is like 3.5 hr away from Brisbane o. Sunshine Coast a lovely places. But you can still manage to find house of your budget provided you dont mind old house like 15-20 yo old buildings. Just keep checking real estate website daily.

Thank you so much. I am grateful.

My budget is 600K - 850K.

Adelaide is also on my radar. In fact, I would prefer Adelaide to Sydney but my wife is concerned about having enough of "our own ppl" around our kids in school. You know what I mean.
You might as well give Queensland a try. Check this website realestate.com.au. House price is going gaga in Australia. The thing is , building a new house is taking a long time, the reason is due mainly to covid 19. Production of building materials to logistics is affecting the time frame in completing building. Most of the building materials are from overseas.
If possible don't buy unit, apartment or townhouse, buy house.

Curricular Practical Training (CPT)
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is temporary authorization for practical training directly related to a student’s major field of study. Students in F-1 status must apply for CPT authorization before starting all off-campus learning activities. US Immigration regulations state that CPT authorization is required for all off-campus activity, including required experiential education (practicums), and internship experience (unpaid or paid).

CPT associated with the PharmD curriculum:
Because the PharmD Program requires experiential learning starting in the first year, International Students (F-1 visa holders) are eligible to apply immediately for CPT associated with the curriculum.

CPT associated with employment, paid or unpaid, as a pharmacist intern:
International students (F-1 visa holders) may be also be eligible for internship-related practical training while enrolled full-time in the UW PharmD Program. Each international student is assigned to a UW ISS (International Student Services) advisor, who will determine individual student eligibility for employment-associated Curricular Practical Training (CPT).

Eligibility for CPT relies on a student’s prior history of education in the US, how the activity is in compliance with US government immigration rules (as assessed by UW ISS) and how the activity is supported by the academic department as related to the degree program (as assessed by School of Pharmacy advisors and faculty).
Students must have a job before application for CPT, and CPT is authorized for that specific job. If a student is authorized for CPT for a specific job and finds another job opportunity or wishes to leave a current job during an authorized CPT period, the student must submit a request to terminate the authorized CPT and a request to authorize a new CPT site.
Here are ISS resources and instructions to start the process:
You can take the online CPT Orientation Course to help familiarize yourself with the CPT process
Please review the ISS CPT information, including eligibility rules, application instructions, etc.
ISS also offers monthly information sessions
Implications for Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Under Federal immigration law, there is no limit to CPT; however, if students use more than 12 months of full-time CPT, they will lose the opportunity to apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) and may lose their ability to remain legally in the U.S. after degree completion.

PharmD students interested in applying for OPT should consider the following:

Core (required) experiential courses in the School of Pharmacy PharmD “Purple” curriculum, launched in Autumn 2019, will result in less than 12 months of full-time CPT.
An international student who receives an offer of employment as a pharmacist intern (or any other employment) must apply for CPT. This CPT will be added to the total CPT time associated with the required experiential courses in the PharmD curriculum.
Prior to making decisions related to employment, international students are encouraged to contact their advisor regarding how optional CPT for intern pharmacist positions, in combination with curriculum-related CPT, may potentially affect their OPT eligibility.
Graduates of a School of Pharmacy Outside of the U.S.
(Foreign Graduate Students)

International students who hold a five-year undergraduate pharmacy degree conferred by a recognized school of pharmacy outside the United States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico may consider the option of taking the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination (FPGEE) in lieu of pursuing the PharmD degree program.

The Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC) operates under the auspices of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). NABP provides the FPGEC Certification Program as a means of documenting the educational equivalency of a candidate’s foreign pharmacy education, as well as the license and/or registration. Candidates are also required to pass the FPGEE, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), and the Test of Spoken English (TSE). The FPGEC Certificate allows foreign graduates to partially fulfill eligibility requirements for licensure in the states that consider the certification.

Individuals who wish to obtain more information about this option are advised to visit the NABP website at: www.nabp.net or contact the Washington Board of Pharmacy at 360-236-4825

International students who hold a four-year undergraduate pharmacy degree from a School of Pharmacy outside the United States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are not eligible to complete the FPGEE option and will have to complete a PharmD Degree Program in the US in order to become licensed to practice pharmacy in the US. Such a degree holder who is interested in the UW PharmD Program will have to complete all prerequisites at a college, university or community college in the US as well as meet all other application requirements and standards.

I have an offer with UTAS on MSc Finance (Data Management) specialization and I have accepted it and also went ahead to submit documents needed for GTE. However, I also applied for MSc Social work in the same school through another agent and I was given an offer that includes 6 months BSW and 2 years MSW.

My concern now is my educational background and work experience suit MSc Finance but I have engaged in some voluntary activities in my place of work and also personal that I stated in my SOP when applying for the MSW. Will it affect my VISA processing if I go ahead to accept the second offer on the ground that my educational background does not align with social work or I should just stick with the first and change when I arrive in Aussie?

Kindly help with your candid opinion without reservations.
Both are okay. Social worker seems to be a hot cake though. You know always change into any course once you get to your uni. IT pay more but highly competitive for PR but demands for SW is high.

Wow!! Praise be to God. So you're also going to Griffith. That's the school I plan on going also. I'm applying to 3 schools. But the Gold coast campus. Are you going to Gold Coast? I WILL also testify to my Visa grant this year in Jesus name.
Start packing your bags small small and wait for the border opening.

Thank you so much!
I Applied through an Agency (ACA) to 3 schools in July 2020, got an offer to Griffith University in August to study Human Resource management/international Business for the 1st Trimester of 2021, I accepted after a month of waiting for other offers, payed total deposit in October after passing GTE, got COE in November then I started arranging documents for Visa Application.
Applied for visa on the 13th of January 2021,biometrics followed almost immediately on the 18th of January that same day I received a letter to go for my Medicals, Got a date for February 2nd I went and got my Medicals done then the wait game started!
Along the line my passport expired applied for a new one which took almost six weeks, at a point my school called that they were canceling my admission since I refused to enroll ah! (how I overcame that one is testimony for another day) God was just faithful, I had lost hope and enrolled for another ielts exam make I carry eye face Canada lol, (exam is next week btw) and God showed up strong for me, when I got the NJL everyone kept telling me to withdraw my application, I refused because the error was not intentional and was not done by me I prayed like I have never done before ah all Glory to My daddy in heaven! Only him deserve all the Glory! My agent took all the blame and attached documents to her comment letter and on the 9th of September barely 2weeks I received my Grant! Hallelujah! God is greatest! God is alive! What God can not do does not exist!!!

Documents submitted:
Statement of purpose
Sponsor letter
Academic documents (everything down to the least certification I have)
Work documents (must include Leave letter from place of work)
COE
Reference Letter
Yellow card
Police clearance report
Passport data page
2 Passport photographs
Note: I didn’t use Bank statement because they waived it off as at then, only my school requested for a bank statement.
I use my case as a point of contact to everyone waiting and believing God for a breakthrough on their visa application, yours will come! You too will testify! For what God can not do does not exist!
To God be the Glory!
Congratulations. Put in mind also that, studying in regional areas give more points when applying for PR.

The Itsekiri royal heritage should be studied. These names and titles sounds too Yoruba-ish
The Itsekiri language is a major branch of the Yoruboid[2] group of languages, which as a group, is a key member of the Volta–Niger sub-family of the Niger–Congo family of African languages. Itsekiri is spoken by nearly 900,000 people in Nigeria as a first language and by many others as an additional language notably in the Niger Delta and in parts of Edo and Ondo states of Nigeria. The other key members of the Yoruboid group are Yoruba (22 million) and Igala (1.8 million) along with the various Yoruba dialects spoken in Benin and Togo.

Australia people,
Is there anybody that want to go into used car dismantling business with me from Australia? The pay is better than oil company...
I will teach you the business and also bring part of the money for the business...

Dont ignore...
Take this chance...
Shipping cost, used car more expensive than in America. Another thing is volatility of naira/dollar exchange rate. I can only do it if I have upfront payment .

TravelQueensland State Australia Bigger Than Nigeria by Bruxxels(op): 2:41am On Feb 08, 2021
Queensland (Australia) is 1.87 times as big as Nigeria in land surface !

Queensland (locally /ˈkwiːnzlænd/ KWEENZ-land,[note 1]) is a state situated in northeastern Australia, and is the second-largest and third-most populous Australian state. With an area of 1,852,642 square kilometres (715,309 sq mi), Queensland is the world's sixth-largest sub-national entity, and is larger than all but 15 countries. Due to its size, Queensland's geographical features and climates are diverse, including tropical rainforests, rivers, coral reefs, mountain ranges and sandy beaches in its tropical and sub-tropical coastal regions, as well as deserts and savanna in the semi-arid and desert climatic regions of its interior.

Queensland has a population of over 5.1 million,[5] concentrated along the coast and particularly in South East Queensland. The capital and largest city in the state is Brisbane, Australia's third-largest city. Ten of Australia's thirty largest cities are located in Queensland, with the largest outside Brisbane being the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Townsville, Cairns and Toowoomba. The state's population is multicultural, with 28.9% of inhabitants being immigrants.

Good evening lovely people, Please I need guidelines on which school and course to choose.
I have a degree in microbiology but have not been working since I finished my NYSC last year.... I have been into business ( I own a boutique store). Now I make up my mind to pursue my masters degree in agricultural microbiology but my concern is that I don’t know if they will accept me because have not been working in any agricultural companies so no document to prove that...

Has anyone has this kind of stuff, please I need your advice...
Apply for a course that will be give you PR opportunity. Also apply for uni in regional areas for the same reason stated earlier.
