Your friend can swtich back to Cybersecurity when he settles with full right to live and work in this country, nobody pins him down to health care work for ever. He is thinking outside the box which is what education gives you. You studied Cybersecurity and you applied for jobs with no positive outcome then what? You keep waiting until your visa expires?
After 5 years of being a healthcare worker right?

Regarding the bolded, while I blame the government, some students are not even trying at all. Ask them to apply for PSW and consider roles within their field, a lot of them will curse you. When I did my MSc., most of my classmates did psw and majority of them got very good jobs before they finished the psw. Sponsoring of visa was not even that popular then. I applied for around 500 jobs, got to 10 assessment centres before I got a job offer. Some of my classmates even applied for more jobs. When I was not happy with my job, I started applying again. I did so many applications, had so many heart breaks but eventually got 3 companies that wanted to sponsor me at the same time.

I asked one student who was complaining how many jobs he had applied to in his field, he could not mention 10.

People just want to get into skilled worker visa immediately. I was practically begging someone to send me his CV. He was just interested in getting COS from a care home. This is someone that studied cybersecurity.

Also, I have spoken to a lot of students as we have huge no of students in my town. Some of them don't even have a clue what they are studying. They hire people to do their dissertation and course works. Are those people students?

However, some students are still trying their best though and I am certain their hard work will pay soon.
People shouldn't settle for less is all i can say. It would be hard but still people are getting jobs with 40/50/60K with sponsorship.

One day i will get there myself.

grin grin grin Just imagine that line from an immigrant! Some of you will be worse than Suella if you manage to get to the decision-making table in the UK or whatever country you migrated to. I have said here before that some people are not just happy to see their fellow Nigerians migrating like them because they want to keep on oppressing those they left at home. but God passed them. Immigration issue na season film: when one series ends, another go start so no cause for alarm.
As a black man we are not liberated until we build Nigeria and Africa.

If you like be in USA or UK.

But It's the citizens who are crying out that immigration is too high. The same citizens who voted for Brexit because they wanted to reduce and control immigration. The same citizens who are warning the govt that they will go the way of the Netherlands.

People who voted for brexit because they felt that 200k plus net migration was too high, how do you think they will just accept 700k plus, and from countries that are even more "forrin" than the EU lol
It's not personal, that's just how they are.

We arent discussing approval rates. Btw, Canada also lets in lots of people via the PR route and it has been on since forever and theyre still looking for ways to make things right for legal immigrants.

Also, for the approval rate UK, do they not collect money? Did they not increase IHS rates too? School fees also went up twice for my school and I heard they have removed discount they usually give and instalmental payments

Imagine boosting an economy with £42bn in 1 year and all you get na complain every 7 days

They always the first to give million £ in foreign aid to countries but dem no fit provide affordable housing for their people. Uk get packaging no be small.

That was my initial question when he first made the complaint. You owed your LL rent and had the guts to sublet. Coming here to play the victim card. Sickening. The worse is that other people here didn't condemn him. Total BS!! Until your house owner's mortgage gets repossessed. No one is seeing the anger of the house owner.
I’m sure you are one of those that rents house and give it out at higher prices. Does that warrant her to break his door and leave him in the cold ?

They're talking about cutting benefits (again - benefits has been one of the top issues since Tories got into power 13 years ago) in an attempt to force some of the economically inactive back into work.

In the autumn statement yesterday, Hunt increased benefits and also cut taxes (national insurance) so it's not about lack of money, but rather the perception that many of those not working are too comfortable on their benefits.
They want those who have been diagnose and deem fit to work by doctor should go back to work. But we all know they won’t go back to any work. you see this benefit money of 100 quid weekly, they will fight it to the end. No one is taking it from them.

Good advice but one that would be more effective if it was given at source - advising student applicants to keep and use their POF for what it's intended for. If they had the maintenance funds and fees they presented in their visa applications, then they might not need to work so hard - just the 20 hours stipulated in the immigration rules - and would hopefully avoid the extreme stress that is bound to arise from working to pay off fees and other debt while studying.
Justwise and others have preached this for ages but are often ignored.
And the source starts from those travel agency deceives them saying they can earn 6 million naira in a month.

Also be meticulous when you tell people how care jobs works. Tell them they will pack shit and pack vomit and the stop sugar coating narrative.

True that. This Naija landlords are frustrating most times placing all sorts of rules and regulations.

Base on how things are presently and because he fails to pay his as at when due, i advise he pays the rent and move out.

25,000 people that did not pay masters fee grin Thank God for Brexit.

If the government is so appaled, they should rather cull the number of external COS issued. Mk those wey dey ground see work do.
The care sector has for decades depended on foreign labour. That was not going to change overnight cos folks wanted to leave the EU.
The data are all making sense now.

Update on this issue
Today the landlady worked into my room and was like today your leaving my house and was trying to move my stuffs outside..
Immediately I picked up the phone and called the police, she started to denying that she's not throwing me out of the house..
Now what happened is that she came with her kids and trying to claim that this is her house and I have contacted the Council housing department already about her visits but I would like to know if there is any legal way I can deal with this please.

This woman thinks that I meant be scared or I don't know the law in UK, which is the reason she has been doing all this..
I can tell you that all the other tenants who has lived in this house have issues with her and that's why they leave.. including the ones that moved out from my room before I move in.. everyone 100% has issues with her and she always treating to remove their door but never did because she's also scared of what they will do to her..but in my case, she things I can't do anything because am quiet guy.
4 months ago he made new tenant who just came to the UK to go out midnight at 1AM to pay house because the person told her he has it in cash and will send it to her tomorrow when he go to bank, but this woman insisted that he must pay the money that night otherwise she will come and remove he's door...

He has always treating to remove tenant doors but never went ahead to do it until now,she did it to me..

Please I would like to know how I can take this case to court, getting lawyers and anyway I can deal with her for all the abuse and harassment.
You fit post her picture make we drag she and her family online.

Went thru the LSE report and it was telling. Reason why it triggers me when we have policies that'd unduly affect black/immigrant populations. E.g increasing visa, health surcharge and ILR fees for longterm residents so citizens can have a pay rise. While at thesame time deliberating on refucing inheritance tax when there is a relative budget surplus. In the end, the 'immigrants' today would become Brits tomorrow and the state would be forced to deal with the wealth disparity it made.

The relative success of Indians in Briton is the reason why they are increasingly afforded certain leeways. E.g majority of phone spams calls I receive are from Asian folks yet they are still not painted with scam as Nigerians are. All said, China has fared much better by keeping its talent at home.
I said this last week and some people were saying it's impossible.
Omo na time go tell.
it will shock everybody like electricity.
Indian folks have been able to hack the system.

went to a place today and i was told by the uber driver that about 700 Indian family recently moved to the neighborhood.
why did they choose to move to the area?
Because this said area is known to have lots of grammar school with quality teachers. So, they want their kids to acquire the best education.

And we all know knowledge = power.

Omo na time go tell
