“Yeah, I am a nurse but it’s just my side hustle, there’s no professional course that can make you a billionaire. Just have your certificate for future purposes or emergency, it’s not a waste. nurses suffer alot 💔 in Nigeria 🇳🇬 😢 😪 😑 we are not appreciated enough for our hardwork, it’s not easy to work as a nurse at all, care giving jobs even pay more.”
Og_Victor said:
“Guys, the truth is no profession can liberate you financially, not nursing not even medicine, what will liberate you financially is connection and skill beyond any professional job, so whether you are a nurse or anything, you have to meet with people and learn proper skill. By the way, nursing is still an hot cake abroad.
“It’s only nursing and few other courses (one or two) that can guarantee you professional job abroad, almost 80% of people that study other courses are into care or security or cleaner abroad, So still study that nursing (if you aspire to be one) but learn skill and have entrepreneurial ability! Selah!!”
