Bro please which marketplace do you buy from?

cococandy:
They even went on strike last year to ask for more

What you’re failing to understand is that nursing isn’t the same everywhere in the USA. And when I talk about a specific place, that’s not the time for you to remember one girlfriend you used to have in Texas and imagine their reality is the same with every single nurse in the country. There are literally a gazillion cities here and pay differs VASTLY

AbdulMagaji:

Kingofmykingdom:
Yea trucking and transportation is a big headache when you venture newly into it but with time you will learn, the regulations, insurance, compliance, drivers and again if you are starting with one truck, I will advise you to first get a CDL A, drive for a company and learn,

naijaboy99:
shut up your mouth forever. You and your wife earn a combined salary of $60,000. You can't even afford a ticket to Nigeria and still struggling to get your papers. Creating fantasy in your head is how you try to heal yourself from depression

AbdulMagaji:
God bless you brother

I made a comment here that I gross $988k this 2022 and gross $750+k 2021 and have only been in the United States 3 years going to 4 years by June, someone said I’m lying and some other said no true. Now let me explain in details.

Firstly majority Nigerians in the US are not much exposed to living abroad, how things work in the United States, and many Nigerians, USA is their first travel experience/ destination.

What most Nigerians do when they travel to the United States is to get education and become either a Nurse, Doctor or Engineer, Work in the DC ( Distribution center or fulfillment centers) aka warehouse, housekeepers, some are Uber drivers and that’s all, which to me is not bad and maybe that’s what works for them and pays their bill.

You make money in healthcare especially RN if you’re ready to work overtime not only in Healthcare but in any other sector, you must work overtime to make more and remember the more money you make the change in your tax bracket, meaning you’ll be paying back to Uncle Sam ( IRS).

While Nigerians are working others are making it big doing business like the Russians, Indians, Chinese, Mexicans and Europeans but Africans are just working with no life.

US is designed in a way that you work and work then govt will take it back through health, that’s why Healthcare is expensive in US because you must surely end up in the hospital with either back injury, cancer or another sickness.

I live in Buckhead, Atlanta GA and to be honest most Nigerians are scared to try out new things and scared of challenges while the Russians, Indians and Chinese are taking the risk to become millionaires.

Russians and E. Europe controls the trucking industry in Mid-West, Indians owns 90% of all the gas stations in the US, Chinese are into importation, real estate flipping and food, Mexicans are into construction, trucking, restaurants, White own 90% of Trucking business in the US and are the major players.

Now to my story, I came to the US with $12300 after my tickets and others, I went straight to a boot camp with GTech and after graduation I got a job with Microsoft Atlantic Station as Data Analyst competing with Indians, after working for 7 months I upgraded my certificate to cloud engineering, then left the Microsoft to work for Walmart HQ in Arkanas as a System Admin, then Networking Engineer then Snr Cloud Engineer, I was earning roughly $110/hr working 40hrs/wk , which I was able to save and form my company ( s-corp).

I bought a 26ft box truck after I left my job to start a trucking company with hope, which after I got a loan from a community bank and added another truck, making it 2, I was driving one of the truck and have a driver in the other one paying him 25% after fuel deductions and both were doing OTR, hauling for Amazon and booking loads off Loadboards, I made in my first year almost $210k gross.

I enrolled for 3 weeks to earn my CDL A, which I saved enough from the box truck and bought a semi doing hook and drop for Amazon and booking off from other brokers I built up a relationship with during the Covid as rate was skyrocketing to even$10/mile and I was covering 4000 miles a week.

I made enough money from the Semi and 2 box truck, which I later sold off the box truck and venture fully into Semi. I approached 4 banks and luckily I was approved. I got firstly 3 semi and 3 trailers then got my Hazmat, Tanker, Twic, TSA endorsements

xandy84:
Agreed it comes with lots of perks but my surprises is everyone that talks about tech on nl will quickly point you to software engineer earn $$. While software engineer earn good pay, majority of people in tech ain't software engineer just like most people in medical field ain't doctors and non tech workers still make decent wages.

xandy84:
Average Nigerian always jump on bandwagon just to stay relevant. Couple of years ago, you have to be a nurse or you're a looser, now it tech field. The surprise part is everyone that talks about tech will say they are software engineer and no tele support or mid-level employee. Someone will live a miserable life if you listen to their fake ish life.

I understand your submission, not everyone can be in tech, but what i know is that tech changed my life for good. It gives freedom to do other stuff while working from home. I cant remember the last time i woke up early in the morning and getting ready to hit the road, i wake up at my leisure and stroll down to my basement and start working. There are some tech jobs that require to work onsite or hybrid role.

Again tech is not the ultimate but I prefer the freedom it gives me.

Deo1986:
Besides football bettings they, claim to be exposing corrupt government officials in Nigeria and are core Biafra sympathizers.

I wonder how many Biafrans they might have duped?

Kingofmykingdom:
I will reply you with my story and how I started. I'm driving now.

LastProphet:
Yes but his rent alone will be $3000/month for a studio apartment or one-room as we call it, then deduct state and federal tax that money loses 30-35%, health insurance not less than $1000/month and so on. Forget to gather big money here is toughest of the tough

Kingofmykingdom:
I was once a Snr cloud engineer earning $70 - $120/hr before start up a S Corp. I have fleets and each cost me between $80k - $200k. I gross $988k and have 14 employees

Kingofmykingdom:
