ojdollars: Hi there, Oh...I won't give specifics... although a few guys on this website know the state. I'm in the southern or southeastern portion of the U.S. though...a ways away from Chi-town...but closer to u. It's like a 12-14 hour drive from Chi-town to where I live. Every time I visit there though (so far and thank God), and depending on which airport I'm flying from, I take a direct flight (no stops) and it takes no more than 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours... Who doesn't love Texas? I wouldn't mind living there...heard it's nice. ... 2 Likes |

Bros you started this thread by mentioning how you were able to secure a job with your Nigerian degree here in u.s and after that you avoided that topic completely. I have already written my board exams and I believe the information you give will be valuable for people here cos nobody would go for a student loan if they know they can use their Nigerian degree here .Goldenboy Opened a thread on how people here can manage their finances and invest back home what is the purpose of the threadExcept maybe the aim of is to serenade the people back home with pictures of u.s cos we know that with spirit (cheapest)airline you can get to Chicago in less than 2 hours |
Re: Weclome to Chicagoland by Bishopp007: 6:55pm On Mar 09, 2018 |
rinzaugustine: Thanks for your observation, I really appreciate. One thing I know for sure is you can get job here in the U.S with your Naija certificate but it may be just $35k to start with and you may be required to write one or two exam. I have a very good friend here who is making about $65k working in Real Estate company with Naija certificate. His first contract was $25k I think. I have replied to several emaisl and phone calls since I started this thread but people are taking it for granted. There are several things you can do here with Naija certificate e.g Insurance, Real Estate, Salesforce and AWS will cost about $500 - $600 to learn. Lastly, you don't necessarily need student loan to get your master degree here if your are hard working. 4 Likes |

Bishopp007:damn , this is crazy, how do you survive this? |
Re: Weclome to Chicagoland by Bishopp007: 4:48pm On Mar 11, 2018 |
Vivaforever01: It's what it's and we have to do what is necessary to survive by wearing thermal underwear, winter jacket and boot. The good thing about advance country like U.S is that heat/heater is everywhere from your your apartment to your car, bus, train, stores and every indoor places you go. The only problem is when you are shoveling your driveway and car out of snow. It's not easy to drive in heavy snow as well. But guess what.......we all get used to it. 2 Likes |

I have been so busy for the past few days looking to get 2nd job for extra income. I met 2 guys on soccer field on Sunday discussing about pros and cons of credit card which I think I should share my view here. It's not easy get credit card for new immigrant because we have no history in U.S but as soon as you are here, how to build credit card should be on your top list because it will help in a very long way. You can apply for secure card(which I did) Get a co-signer You can also ask someone to add you to their credit card. To me, I don't see any disadvantage of credit card so far if you can work on your spending habit and the truth is that you will need good credit card history to purchase car or house here in U.S. Most of things here are on credit from buying phone, car, house even to rent good apartment. 2 Likes |

Bishopp007:2nd job! Why not invest your spare time on masters or some advance certification since you already have a good job. Me can’t even secure a dishwasher job since 4months now. 2 Likes |

stonemasonn:. Waiting for wifey to be through with her masters 1st. It will be difficult if not impossible for both of us to be studing at the same time. Masters class is from 7pm- 10pm, twice of 3times in a week. Also daycare closes at 5:30pm and we have a baby. Are you in chicago ? Maybe i can recommend you for a job. 2 Likes |

About the credit cards, you are right. Im using discover card and creditone for now. Once i build my credit, i might go for other cards though creditone has a 75$ annual fee. Pnc, chase, american express and capitalone all denied my credit card application due to no or insufficient history 4 Likes |
Re: Weclome to Chicagoland by Bishopp007: 8:06pm On Mar 14, 2018 |
stonemasonn: People make good money with Nursing Assistance nowadays. You will definitely make more money with web developer/programmer. It's a about your passion. Wish you best of luck! |
Re: Weclome to Chicagoland by Bishopp007: 8:18pm On Mar 14, 2018 |
lionlee216: Don't mind chase and capital one, their shakara too much. They denied my application too. But I have Disco, Amex and Capital one with 0 annual fee. Capital one sent approval letter later after 4months. Credit one is good for credit builder too with $75 annual fee(mine is $25) Pls negotiate your $75 annual fee with Credit One. Just shakara them you want to close your account, when they ask you why, tell them you can't afford $75 annual fee. Thank me later |
