Getting A Skill by AlienStar(op): 5:56pm On May 16, 2022
I am 400L student studying medical laboratory sciences in a Nigerian University and I need a suggestion. I got a job immediately the strike started but I had to quit because I really need to learn a skill. I have a little knowledge in nail tech and wish to advance it but my siblings are suggesting I go for soft skill (I mean, go into tech) that it's more better. The confusion is, is tech better than nail making and what soft skills can I learn with a phone in this period of strike

Soft skills is different from Tech. In the long run, imagine serving celebrities in your nail saloon? Most people in Tech work for other people and that's fine.

But don't go into Tech if the passion is not there, or at least, a nerve for coding/programming/logical thinking
