Getting a University degree is and would always be a good thing.
The problem is the country Nigeria that is so bad.

Abba114:
i dont even know where my certificate is i will burn that shit whenever i see it. i start regretting since the day i collected it.

Acidosis:
What else would you have done with your time if you hadn't gone to school?

histemple:
You are very dull and your mindset is flawed, that is your problem.

BTW, you are still not properly educated even now. You are referring to an Ordinary National Diploma as a DEGREE.

That being said, the primary aim of formal education is to increase your KNOWLEDGE base and sharpen your mind to THINK. To pursue a degree programme solely for the purpose of securing a paid employment thereafter is a wrong mindset and a recipe for unending frustration.

If you have increased your knowledge base and can think creatively, you can't be jobless. You will be either employed by another or be self-employed.

kkins25:
Thats a problem with the human mind. Have you checked the percentage of people that aren't doing well versus does doing well? You'd be surprised at what you'd find.
School is important!

God bless the incoming Vice President from 2023 to 2031 and hopefully the President from 2031 to 2039.

Literally your posts indict you. The second screenshot is you arguing with someone who told you travel RNs can make that much. Mind you he didn’t say all nurses. He said travel nurses and you felt the need to argue.

Or have you forgotten when you replied that wherever it is I’m referring to, that I’m lying. Bro take the L and move. You argued even against the so called outliers implying that it’s impossible.

🥴.

cococandy:
oh so we are not discussing outliers? That was entirely what the first post you responded to was about! I even asked you if you understood what you were posting was the average (aka mean).

Just take the L and move on

cococandy:
This is last year from the Stanford union. Their new contract is most definitely going to be better.

In the same vein. Kaiser union just secured a 22% increase starting this year as well to span the life of their contract. After that they review and increase as needed. Their shift differential is $13/hr. So a new grad starting there at night shift will be around 72 + 13 per hour.

Please do the math since doctors don’t make that (side eye)

Staff nurse 1 is new nurse no experience starting at over $70/hr. Go down the list and see as it increases with experience. Add $10 for every NOC shift. So a new grad working nights starts at over $80/hr at Stanford.

Forget what you’re seeing online and I am telling you that truck driving is not dangerous if you follow the rules.

juman:
Wherever you are you can achieve a lot by working very hard.

People make lot of money also in France, Sweden, Germany, London, Austria etc.

You can make crazy money in Nigeria.
Don't stay at home, go out and start with any work, be hard working and be vigilant and learn from others.

naijaboy99:
all these figures Nigerians no dey see half of the money. Na for whites and well to do people. Nigerians start from the bottom and remain there forever

Kingofmykingdom:
Nobody offers you life insurance and truck driving is not dangerous and can only be if you don’t follow the traffic rules, ELD and don’t drive according to your truck governor or driving when there is a weather advisory flashing lights

cococandy:
The figures I mentioned specifically pertains to NorCal. Like I’ve been saying from my very first post. Not all of America. Is that enough for you or do you still think I’m lying?

Also I’m talking about staff RNs. Not NPs or CRNAs or Travel RNs

cococandy:
Yes $51/hr is good money. However new nurses here start around $70+/hr and with experience can reach up to $123/hr if you add shift differentials or on call differential for those on call. But yes the base pay can totally be over $100/hr before adding anything extra.

No mention of overtime or double time yet for those who have energy.

Stop posting internet screenshots at me. It won’t change the facts of what I’m saying

cococandy:
The man said his colleagues make over $110 and you guys called him a liar. I told you that if they are in NorCal then he’s saying the truth and you called me a liar. Neither one of us said this was the norm for every nurse. Now you’re changing story. Are you so sure and want to bet on it?

cococandy:
Do you know how averages work?

And is your argument that there is no RN (regular RN) who’s makes hourly pay that’s up to $110/hr? Is that your argument?

youngRx:
The problem with this analysis is that you are assuming all tech jobs pay 100k. Even at that, if you earn 300k annually, even if taxes take away 50% that's 150k net income annually. If you're not extravagant, you can survive on 40 to 50k annually. (Most Americans survive on less than 40k yearly and they're doing fine) . If you save 100k yearly, what is 300k (#200M) that you won't save after 4 to 5 years of staying abroad??

The truth is, this may not be the reality of everybody abroad, but there is no denying that there are actually people who are earning this much and living within their means

sunboy:
Travel nurses make close to that, what you see online is their base pay/hr, they get additional income from their daily upkeep allowances which goes to paying for their hotel, car rental and stuff. It all does add up.

pacespot:
$10k is a lot of money in Nigeria o, that is about 7.5 million Naira. The fact that you mentioned it this way shows that that amount is a small money in abroad.

cococandy:
Indeed is not a reliable source of income estimate actually

cococandy:
If he’s in Northern California in one of the union hospitals he is. Please stop arguing: argh

SocialJustice:
I have been a landlord in a highbrow area of my town since 2017. I'm here to correct the opinion not talk about material results. I could get into the UK and decide to do only £5m deals and above. Believe me 5 years is too much for me to get to £1m. Credit economies are on their own level, Nigeria is nowhere near that league.

SocialJustice:
That's their own luck. I am speaking for myself and what I know to make that kind of money.

amuwo1980:
This is baffling , he made a purchase in Chicago at a certain price and I disputed that because I have comparable experience in same city , you did not read the post and anyways have a wonderful day

femicyrus:
The ability to get a job that can feed you and still able o feed others without going through hell or having a concert of connections in getting the job like in Nigeria is enough reason to go abroad

bjnice:
When did 1 dollar shot to 900 naira in Nigeria? If I recollect, it is less than a 7 month ago. How did your friend took a loan with that period and within a year build and sold the house double of the money. Please you guys should be taking it easy with your lies biko.
