Please I need advice I got shortlisted for two different trainings, one is customer service training; it is a 3 days training is to prepare participants for an interview with a leading financial services institution in Nigeria. While the other training is a tour guide training for 6 weeks. The issue is their starting date are the same so I have to forfeit one and I want to know if there is a promising path for tour guide in Nigeria |
Hopebringer:How is it irrelevant? There are many of our youths studying abroad and looking for ways to sustain themselves |
Support worker Jordan Vidal is a money-saving hero. While at the University of South Wales in Cardiff, Jordan, now 25, quickly learned that away from home, the bills stack up. When he found his student loan and a part-time job weren’t enough to pay for rent, partying and the supermarket shop, he established an ingenious system that kept his stomach full and his fridge stocked. Jordan didn’t pay for food for two years at university – and he never went hungry. Students around the country are packing their bags and thinking about the new semester. But uni-life isn’t easy, or cheap. According to research released by the Save the Student website, 76% worry about making ends meet. One in ten students said they had never budgeted before starting at university, and 74% said they wish they better understood their finances. Jordan’s grocery hack began in the early hours of Monday morning at a casino in Cardiff. When he learned that casino members were entitled to a complimentary Chinese buffet with soft drinks – and endless plate refills – he signed up for free. He then made sure every Monday he would be there at 4am where he could eat up to four plates of food. While this would sustain him throughout the following day – it did make the Tuesday 9 o’clock lecture harder to get up for. Jordan, who studied film, says: ‘I would come back from the buffet, have a bit of sleep and go to university the next day. ‘After three or four plates of noodles, spring rolls, sticky fried rice and sweet and sour chicken, I’d have eaten enough to keep me going through the next day. ‘I had so much to eat that when I woke up I still felt full. ‘I also had cookies and cakes from the buffet, which I’d eat before university.’ The freebie-hunting didn’t stop there. After lectures on Tuesday, Jordan would visit the arcades in the town centre. These were populated with busy restaurants and cafes, and after striking up a relationship with cafe owners, he began to collect whatever was being chucked out at closing time. ‘Legally, they have to bin any food that was made fresh that wasn’t sold, even if it’s perfectly fine to eat,’ he explains. ‘I’d ask if they were going to throw anything away. And if they did, they’d give it to me. ‘My fridge was constantly stocked up with sandwiches, cookies, slices of cake.’ Nine times out of ten, Jordan would go home with plenty of food – he was rarely turned away and members of staff started to get to know him, sometimes bagging up his goodies in advance so they would be ready for him to take away. He would do the same on Thursday evenings. By the weekend, Jordan would set his sights on local takeaways. Cardiff’s Caroline Street – known locally as Chippy Lane – is home to a host of fast food restaurants that are open until the early hours. Jordan asked the servers at various takeaways for the food was going to be thrown away, and every Friday and Saturday night took home free chips, burgers and chicken wings. ‘I would eat it all,’ he says. Jordan’s method was a major success. His fridge was occasionally too full, and determined not to throw anything out, he would sometimes eat four sandwiches a day. Aside from saving cash, his desire not waste food was a driver. ‘It really bugs me when I see things get wasted,’ Jordan explains. ‘We live in a world where people have no food, people go hungry and people die. I really don’t like waste.’ He was shocked the first time he first saw cafe workers filling bin bags with fresh food, which inspired him to ask to take it home. Impressively, Jordan left university with £3,000 of savings, made from a part-time job in hospitality, which paid just over £7 an hour. He had plenty of money left over for partying, and graduated with a degree, cash in the bank and having not paid a single grocery bill in two years. The Save the Student National Student Money Survey found that 47% of students’ diet suffers due to a lack of cash. But Jordan’s weekly menu of sandwiches, Asian food and takeaways largely worked for him. He was never given anything that was past its sell-by date, though he did get the occasional bellyache. Using vouchers he once ate at the same buffet every day for a week. After one visit saw him devour up to six plates and a dessert, he ended up feeling green and realised he would have to pace himself. Jordan’s method had another unexpected perk. By finding the courage to start asking for free food, his self-esteem grew, too. He’d encourage anyone to try the same techniques. He says: ‘I wasn’t the most confident person in my first year. But I like to get out of my comfort zone. I put myself out there. My mum has always told me – you have to bite the bullet. The worst thing they can say is “no”. My confidence grew as a result. ‘If you can go out and embarrass yourself like that, then you can go on and do it in other situations. And it gets easier each time. It’s definitely worth a try.’ https://metro.co.uk/2021/09/04/student-saves-thousands-with-genius-tricks-to-never-pay-for-food-for-two-years-15206816/amp/
