You are wrong about Diagnostic Medical Sonographer. For your information, most Sonographers are basically Radiographers who decided to specialise in Sonography(ultrasound). These professionals have Bachelors Degree in Radiography and Postgraduate Diploma or MSc in medical ultrasound. .
I consider your statement on this subject matter wrong and misleading, capable of causing a resurgent of quackery in ultrasound practice in Nigeria which Radiographers Registration Board of Nigeria, Association of Radiographers of Nigeria and Medical Imaging Society of Nigeria has worked very hard to discourage. It would have been proper for you to do thorough research before sharing this half baked information out to millions of Nigerians in Nairaland.
Kindly look up few links below to see educational requirements for Diagnostic Medical Sonography practice in Nigeria, UK, Australia and other developed climes.

You're right, but people are not taking that path because it cost MILLIONS of Naira, thousands of flights hours and years to be certified Commercial Pilot/Captain.

Had the dream but gave up.
Same here, it costed about 9million grands to attend the flying school in Zaria. Oh well, I can still chase the dream later on in life

Something almost all female university graduate are now into..

The supply far outweighs the demand...

Though u can argue that the supply in terms of quality is low.

you are actually right, carving a standard for yourself does miracle needed. gaining your fair share of the market is a bottle neck task but soon as you beat the bend, you good if you know what you are doing and up to.
another intrigue is those that pay less coming to control you, your time and your business.
all in all though, it remains a cool cash spinner with its own ups and downs tagging along with it.

Correct, but these days, airlines prefer pilots with a degree. Things are changing, and pilots without degree are finding themselves being left behind. Things are changing.

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.

Are there certifications for those types of jobs?

Of course, you can start-off as a self taught but nothing beats the power of a team.
.
On starting off as a self-taught programmer, you ought to have a direction at first, that is, your preferred language and framework. Like do want to be a mobile or web programmer? If web, you can be a frontend, backend or full-stack programmer.
.
If mobile, do you want to be an Android, iOS or cross-platform app developer. You need to make a lot of research before making a decision.
.
And remember, jack of all trade is master on none.
.
Good luck!

Nice one... I’m presently learning Python online, reading and watching videos i know it’s not easy. I’m so eager to learn this programming language as i believe technology will fully take over the world soon because future is here already. I can see oil being valueless and maybe useless in years to come as cars that uses either solar or electric will be produced. Oil will dry and it won’t have value even if it still exist so i see future in technology. Nice list Op cool

You can go analog or digital... That is installing cameras that use coaxial or siamese cable or the newer ones that use lan cable/wireless technology.
.
To further distinguish yourself from the rest, a good knowledge of TCP/IP is required. That allows for a proper setup of IP cameras in very dynamic ways and viewable even over the internet, real-time.
.
And never stop improving on yourself though.

Thanks for the info.

I am interested in no.3 Diagnostic Medical Sonographer

How can one go about achieving this? Any school to enrol?


Stop believing every copy and paste nonsense you see online.
You can’t just rush in and out and become a sonographer. You’ll need to be a Radiographer first in some countries before you get certification or degrees in medicine, nursing etc. In Nigeria, I believe that it’s a post graduate program, in the Uk...it’s the same. In Greece, only medical practitioners aka doctors are allowed to practice ultrasound.

Even if you don’t require degrees in these fields, how do you read the images and make reports.

It’s a band 6/7 jobs in the Uk. That’s how special the job is.

If it is cable technician, no.
If it is CCNA, yes!
Cable Technician, you will be paid as a 1099 and not W2. The thing about it is, no benefit, what you work for is what you pay for.
