Commercial Pilot should be number one on that list. Though a lot of people do not know, a university degree is not required to be a pilot.

I worked as a cable technician for 1 year. I just got fired last month. I made $62, 000 and about $1800 in tips.
I have 3 other buddies that are Nigerians that worked with me as 1099 or contractors too. One of them made $92, 500 last year, another one made $84K and the third one made $$69,670. I was the one that made less because they had more experience than I did.

It is a cool job but to make that money, it means you work everyday from Monday to Sunday and I know that is not what I want to do for a long time. I have already had double degrees and I just could not find any job.

I’m going into IT that does not require a degree but pay handsomely too. I will start with CCNA and see if I might can climb up the ladder.

The cable technician only takes a week to learn how to strip wires and follow the rules and regulations and boom! You are ready to go.


Hello Good Day to you, if you are in Nigeria I wish to have further discussion with you concerning cable technician and how can I have the knowledge. I will be glad if you can give helpful information.

number 2 is my dream.i am so much interested in learning it.op can you recommend how and where i can start?and can i be a self thought programmer?please i really need help.

True, it is very lucrative but forget how people just say the word "programmer" like it is just like eating a piece of cookie. It takes months, probably years depending on how serious and committed you are to become one. You cannot just read and relax thinking you are done, you have to keep updating yourself. One thing I can assure you is this: you will be frustrated once you get started, but will you push on or give up is the issue.

To get started, go to the website w3schools.com and select the language you want. I'd recommend Python or Javascript because these are the top two PL as of April 2020 but I'd advice you go for the one you find easier to understand. You can download PDFs from numerous websites and you can also follow some YouTube programmers and tutors like Clever Programmer, Ben Awad, CS Dojo, Jacobowski etc.

If you have spare money for online bootcamp, you can try Codecademy or Udemy or may be you can try the ones here in Nigeria with reputable names that will drill you till you become good but they are usually expensive.

PS: Research first before you make a decision, because most people I know dropped along the way because they couldn't keep up due to poor research and because they heard this or that PL pays higher and all they are after is the money. What I am trying to say is, do the one you fancy the most because you like it, not because of how much it pays.
Also it is better to be a master of one than to be a learner in all I.e learn a language and build yourself on it rather than trying to learn all the languages there is and end up with nothing.

At the end of the day, those pharmacy technicians graduate themselves to pharmacist really when they leave the pharmacy and get shop for themselves though risky but they make their cool dough

Few corrections:

Firstly, If you don't have a practicing license issued by the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria you can "Never" be a Pharmacist.

Secondly, there is nothing like Pharmacy shop, it's either a Community Pharmacy or a Hospital Pharmacy.

Thirdly, a Pharmacy can only be registered by a Pharmacist with a practicing license because it is a professional practice and not a sales outlet

Finally, you said "Risky" it's very important because there's no amount of experience that a theater attendant will have that'll make him/her a Surgeon, a theater Pharmacist, a theater Nurse or an Anasthesiologist, the same applies to Pharmacy Practice in a Community Pharmacy.

Do not hand over your precious health to a quack because the result will always on the long run will be very bad.

Are there such vocational institutes in Nigeria for secondary school leavers to attend because the way university education is going in Nigeria seems like an absolute waste of time to be honest.

I also forgot to add to the list, solar technicians, nail technicians, auto technicians etc

Yes there are.
You can call on the state/federal education ministry near you for more information. All the best.

The key word is Equivalent. My brother just used NECO certificate to travel to Dubai to learn piloting and now, he is a commercial pilot in one of Nigeria's biggest airlines. But u must always upgrade urself o especially when u want to renew ur license. I think he does that every six months or thereabout. U will write exam tire. Life of a pilot is fun but not easy. U must not drink or smoke or have even malaria self or else they will revoke ur licence

I’m in the states! You know Spectrum Cable uses Coaxial Cable and most time you must lay temporary drop cable to bring in signals from the taps and Spectrum will later send the Drop Bury Crew to bury the cables.

I think it will be hard to operate that way with cables in Nigeria, since most houses are built on concrete grounds. In U.S. you have mulch and that is what makes drop bury works fine.

It is not hard to do, you can learn that in a day on YouTube.

You only need two tools most, a wire stripper and a crimper. Then get a power tool for drilling and unscrewing hard to turn nuts and bolts.
