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?

madam all una lie expires today. Many doctors self make less than $150k annually. You guys are at the bottom. Give up your illusions

You obviously haven't followed the thread closely. It turned out he was actually talking of Canadian dollars and nurse practioner (which is almost a doctor), and you are still here arguing it!

Even for Canada Nigerian nurses don't make $60kCAD. I fvck many of them with 200usd. They still beg me money from Nigeria here. I paid one $17kCAD to help my cousin get his papers. The girl almost collapsed. She get two kids now but still hustling me. Leave all these people

You are a liar. If you earn even half of that we'll be seeing you in Nigeria four times in a year. Shut up your mouth and go scrub that floor you $10 factory worker

Not sure why you sound bitter bro but you don’t need to, and it’s not healthy.

I work in one of the departments in law enforcement, and I don’t need to visit nigeria because I already gave up on her. My wife and kids are here, my parents are here and can visit as much as they want.

There are people working $10 jobs but I’m fortunate to not be in that bracket.

Bro having $20k in your account doesn't require you to be a governor's son. Don't be deceived by those who claim certain figures are unattainable in America or canada Some Nigerians are achieving great things and earning significant amounts of money. Let me motivate you a bit by sharing my earnings from Amazon last year. I didn't even include the sales I made directly from my online store.

Bro is this Amazon FBA?

No rich Nigeria gives up on Nigeria only poor immigrant console themselves with such words. Nigeria is the only free country, America is a prison

There is American dream.
Land of milk and honey and sugar.
There is lots of money one can make in America. Lot of money, but through hard work.

I had the same view similar to yours before, but when I met some guys making money from job we regarded as no job then I realized we were making mistakes.
Me i patiently listen to people and learn from them.
Today I consider myself as picking euros from street.

America dream is alive and real, grab it.

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.

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.

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

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

Whites also have Google. They can see what nurses are paid in Naija

Please can you give ideas on what products I can start with.

There’s actually nothing to argue.

The comment I made saying if he’s in NorCal then it’s true is valid because that’s attainable in NorCal by a good number of nurses not just a slim minority. So there’s no argument whatsoever pertaining to what I said. You responded to my comment as if to say I too I’m lying.



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

He’s bitter and I’m not sure why.

There are immigrants struggling and there are others making crazy money. It’s all about opportunity and preparedness.

When I first arrived I worked at Walmart making averagely 1600 monthly. If anyone had asked me, I would have been pessimistic based on the knowledge I had at the time.

Anyone that decides to lie to themselves can go ahead if it makes them sleep well at night.

Here is the real maths.
If have a $500k mortgage and put down 20% you owe $400k .but if put down 5%, you would owe $475k.
On a 5% interest and principal rate per annum of that $75k difference, you would have additional $625 on your monthly bill . Plus the$100 pmi . Total of about $725 addition to your monthly bill.
Bro, now tell what passive investment you did with that money that is generating $725 which in #543750 (naira). This is the amount you are giving bank every month.

Again, not to go back and forth with this, but trust me 5% down and investing 75k is very worth it if you know what to do.

In the midwest, you can get a house for 30k and with another 30k you can upgrade that house and sell if for a profit of additional 20k

you can also use the 75k as down payment and closing cost towards another property close to a univeristy and put out on rent or close to hospitals for travel nurses and other professionals - provided the property is in an area of interest ( Uni, Hospital, high traffic locations, etc )

putting into context, I got a property for that same amount ( 4 bedrooms ) renting out each room at 750/ month mortgage and insurance and maintenance ( lawn care, snow removal ) 1800. Just from this I net 1200 monthly.

Now netting $1200/monthly vs paying $725/ month on your Primary residence still leaves you with over $400 in cashflow, not to mention the rental property is gaining more equity. If and when I choose to sell I get back the $70k down payment + the mortgage paid by tenants + whatever equity the property has accrued over time.

Believe me, it works magic, the hard part is getting it right the first time and understanding how to manage the rent and incidentals, after that you will rake in some benjamins.

I don’t doubt you. But you see, I would rather not do all these because of $400 before income tax.
Trust me, if I have a $500k mortgage and also have that amount in cash, I would pay off that mortgage.
You know why? Banks are making a kill off of home owners.
Here is an illustration. On a home mortgage of $500k, the principal and interest only would not be less than $2000 monthly. This is about 5% yearly.
The truth about almost all investment instruments including stocks, ETF, bond, mutual fund and certificate of deposit is that none would guarantee 5% yearly yield.
So I would rather do what banks are doing, make money off my money, even if it’s the 5%, guaranteed. Penny saved is penny earned.

But I already told you we are NOT discussing outliers. I gave you an example of, say, a care aide working for a billionaire making $500K, but 99% of them make less than $20 per hour. That's what we are discussing - the mean. And they are all over the internet from different sources (see below) and they are all about the same
