MackyNaija:

I'll been to find my old phone and post some news articles here...

They are taxing us to death to fund their giveaway to illegals.
Our county sales tax was upped to 10.75% after we don pay state income tax of about 10%.
Toll $6, I don use Houston Tolls for less than $2.
High occupancy highway lanes, short distance upto $8 after using tax payers money to build the roads?

Where is all the money going to??

Abeg na useless socialist freeloading state, dissociated myself from that rubbish.

Wait make I see my old phone. Lodged homeless during covid in hotels and bought them booze and drugs likely on a regular.

Timekeeper:


Sir, u sent me a mail and I replied you... You haven't reached out to me since then...

Good afternoon

Timmylehyn:


Oh, wow!

So, both are a no-no.

I think Operations is similar to SCM which you strongly advise. Does that also mean an Ms in SCM wouldn't make you an SC mgr too considering the points you made above?

What's wrong with the degrees, are they too high up or what?

Please, your info is really needed. I'd like to understand you better.

PS: the lady previously had a 680-720 range in GMAT.

MackyNaija:

Advice for myself:
Both fields can be done with an Industrial Engineering degree.
Choose any, get into the program and switch after the first semester.
My guy switched after his third semester!!! E get why..

What is his/her Nigerian job experience in?
Supply Chain is 'different' from Engineering pay - they'd earn less but hired as an Industrial Engr in Supply Chain, the pay is similar to other engrg roles.

Multiple guys from my school work in Micron Supply Chain with their Industrial Engineering degrees.
Multiple in Western Digital Supply Chain with their Industrial Engineering degrees.
Another set in Amazon Supply Chain...

'Every other person' is in Manufacturing - process, quality, Industrial engrg etc etc.


Abeg, everybody study Industrial Engineering oooo!!!
Otherwise study Computer Science or Electrical Engrg.
I took a lot into consideration before choosing that course... a whole lot! and it pays good!

STENON:
1.What PGDE subject are you applying for? Is it Primary or secondary Teaching? It is a postgraduate course not an undergraduate course so your dependant should be able to come with you.

2. Yes and No. E.g Mathematics has higher job prospects than Enonomics

If you really love networking I think you should go for it. Personally I think it is stable with less stress. You will begin to enjoy it once you have a lot of experience. Although, it is quite difficult to break into with less experience but with time you will definitely like it.

Software is cool but if you are not in any of the FAANG you are paid as much as anyone else and God save you if covid-20 comes out you are likely to loose your job.

I started straight out of masters in 2018 with 19$/hr with no experience in networking. My first job was as desktop analyst which I did for three months and wrote my CCNA then got a job for 60k.. as an entry level network engr. I worked there for a year then got another one for 100k but the stress level was just too much and it was customer facing so I quit after six months after getting my CCNP then got my current job for 95k with 10% yearly bonus. I really don't do much even though it is huge data center and telecom company.. it will take a serious natural disaster for any of the data center to go offline so for now less work.

Thanks to Covid-19 I now work completely from home. As not to get bored I got a second entry level job with a different company which I only do at night.. no stress and pay ain't bad(about 70k working as a non-exempt employee with excellent benefits)....


Here is the issue with software.. even though they make more money they also undergo more stress and except you work for a software focus company or FAANG you are likely to loose your job... half of the software and business analyst in my telecom company lost their job during the height of covid-19 because finance was cut.

I suggest you continue with networking but make sure you always get at least one certification a year.... and if possible buy a very good laptop install EVE-NG or GNS3 then begin to lab.. there are a lot software image and tutorial out there.. then learn python and make sure you learn atleast one cloud.. for me I suggest AWS. Even though is not easy trust me you will eventually enjoy it.. and if you are a citizen ... after few years in networking move to security (target jobs with security clearance) and the world will be yours.

Timiofak:


Firstly politics was played here I agree. Me and you know trump kept his name on the first stimulus check, and there was a spike in his approval ratings right after that. It was so close to the election that every politician would do virtually the same thing

Trump was offering, 1200 McConnel wasn't offering anything

And people were in hunger.

Mcconnel later agreed to $600 and wasn't going to budge, both Biden, Pelosi and Sanders said they wanted 2k. They knew McConnel would never agree (which is were politics kicked in) they remained on a standstill

after the election, Pelosi knew there is no political advantage to trump if either check was passed. And biden would definitely sign a bigger relief, which she agreed to $600 so something could go out first since McConnel wasn't going to move from that, she then said 1400 would come in after the transition, making it 2000

Trump wanted 2k, biden wanted it, pelosi did, Sander's did, generally, I could say more than 65% did

Mcconnel and his cronies, we're not going to pass anything.

BLOODYSPERM:



They are ignorant of truths and facts
They would rather stick with propaganda
They are brainwashed by cultural marxism and critical race theory
They believe in the failed economic policy of Socialism
They prioritize wealth redistribution and welfarism of the state over productive economic activities of the individual
They believe in killing babies
They support baseless and unproven climate change
They believe in strong labor unions
They are devoid most times of logic and work with emotionalism

sanpipita:


Lol they do it to make themselves feel good about their support for Republicans.

But na body go tell them, Asian Americans who think they are white are suddenly living in fear.

Cornpop:


Lmao. Okay. Remember Joe Biden fought to keep segregation. Not this Biden too abi?

Timiofak:


The New York post


Same Bernie that had been gunning for 2k since before the election

I repeat this is a lie.

Timiofak:



I didnt even see this sef, this is a lie oooo

it was after the election, Trump supported 2k checks, and it was when pelosi played mcconnel.

I think December ending

after the election

And mcconnel wasn't going to pass neither.

so shey you see those Republicans are serious at all.

And free market is a joke

There is nothing like free-market anywhere, any law concerning the economy, it has been lobbied by a company that is going to benefit from it, both democrats and republicans are guilty of that

I don't believe in the so-called ”free market” it sounds good on paper and looks good, but humans would be humans, greedy ones would surely arise. There is always a way monopoly comes is

I believe some things shouldn't be let to free market, or else it's full-blown anarchy

We are seeing it in Nigeria right now

Nigeria has one of the largest limestone resource

Yet we have the most expensive bag of cement in the whole world

why? One greedy ”capitalist” as gone to corner the limestone deport and gone for an 80 years lease.

so I believe some sectors should be managed solely by the government.

so you can call me 60% socialist.

H1 B is been reduced to nothing in the last 4 years.

I believe we would start seeing more of it soon

h1b is nice, it helps bring in students that just completed there education in America, instead of realising them to the public

Or allowing them get into fake marriages for green card, and not all of them would be lucky to get it thereby turning to illegals.

Timiofak:


Yeah true bipartisanship is necessary

that as always been my discussion

look earlier

I never said one part can do it alone

but we know the current state of things

no matter the bill, it's going to be divided along party lines

So don't let's pretend here

The current set of republicans in both chambers, don't want immigration reform

Maybe some do? Maybe.

but majority are gunning for a total scrap off.

Ladyhippolyta88:

@bold,I beg to disagree America is far too divided to have a divided government nothing will ever work.Let the judiciary and people do the checks and balances.I feel for people who split their tickets in elections they are only doing themselves harm because government will never function or work steadily with a divided government because the opposing sides will do everything to bring the other down even if it means crumbling down the executive.The current GOP never checked on Trump while they had a United Congress and Whitehouse do not expect them to do same for the American people or have their interest at heart.They were never going to support the Biden covid relief bill so don't think they will do so now or support anything the Biden administration proposes.Thank God they lost the Senate they would have killed the Biden agenda.
I don't understand how people split tickets in elections not just in America if you want your government to work pick one side or if you sit on the fence and pick both nothing will get done.The GOP is far too toxic and far right to act in anyone's interest even if it will benefit their constituents we saw it in the relief package they opposed the bill never voted for it but some GOP senators and reps wanted to take credit for it because they know it will get to their constituents when they themselves never thought of their constituents before voting against it no wonder we call them the GQP.A divided government does not work or bring about checks and balances that is a pure lie it only cripples the efficiency of government in delivering for the people because the other side will always play politics instead of governing.Also today's Republican party is what the democratic party once was so the guy did not lie did he when he talked about them being racist because white supremacists now back their Party today so what does that tell you?
It is actually Republicans who ruin the economy and Democrats come right back to build it even Trump said it himself.No wonder Obama started with a recovery act from the recession and now Biden is starting with a rescue plan from the pandemic and battered economy so saying democratic policies crash the economy has in no way been true recently but same cannot be said Republicans

Ibeme:


Complacent, sloppy and ill-informed just like I thought. If you have nothing to add, keep quiet. There is nothing to love and respect about a political party whose policies, history and rhetoric are built around your subjugation.

Drenimarcus:


Sir, I know you mean well but I don’t live in Texas or Utah. I live in Minnesota. Thank you sir for your concern, I do appreciate.

Ibeme:


This is misguided, complacent and sloppy. Current iteration of the Republican party has nothing to offer but tears and should be obliterated for America's health.

Complacent and sloppy because The North ended Slavery while the South wanted it to continue. Those for Slavery/Jim Crow subsequently cross-carpeted into the Republican party when a prominent Southern Republican was pushing for such ideas, while those against Slavery/Jim Crow cross carpeted into the Dems. Where they stood at time of emancipation is arbitrary. All you need to know is that the South (currently Republicans) are the enemy while the North (currently Democrats) is your friend.

Drenimarcus:

Timiofak:
Can you see the kind of things republicans tout as ”immigration reform”

cutting immigration by half won't stop illegal immigration

Republicans want just the rich to come to America legally read it

and you would be dissapointed

”merit-based sytem”

more like racist system

Not going to do shit too the backlog, only increase it

current immigrant visas issued in a year is like 1 million yet they are still backlogs, dating back 20 years for some cases

Republicans want to cut it by half which is 500,000 visas down the drain what is that going to do? Other than increasing the wait times and backlogs. That Same bill is going to kick away the visa lottery program. Go look at the visa lottery program and those it favours the most

You see why republicans want too scrap it off

If you are black or brown person in the united states through visa lottery and you support republicans

Shame on you.

In 2007 George bush pushed a bill like Biden's plan to give 11 million illegals legal status. It was abandoned by his republicans

Lydon B Johnson initial immigration bill was like Canada's own

southern congress opposed it who are the modern southern congress? Republicans

if you read deep into almost everything republican

it's built on racism

I repeat if you are black person that managed to find yourself in the US by the standards set by democrats then you became republican in the name of ”conservatism”

Shame on you, and God help you

Timiofak:


This is exactly what I pointed earlier

no immigration reform would pass without bipartisan support, and the so-called republicans blocking it, claiming to be in favour of ”merit-based”

Are actually against any form of migration be it legal or illegal

Proposing bills to cut legal migration by half.

The border crisis, this is not the first time it's happening.

as trumps draconian policies could be, it happened in 2019 under him

it's just what happens when economic hardships happen. People from those countries send their kids unaccompanied

hoping they get in.

It isn't a good thing, personally I don't know how it could be mitigated
Tough decisions would have to be made

But us pretending like it's because of ” Biden's open borders” caused it

is just plain foolishness.

I sure will apply for internships. Thank you!!
