Your career path

[Nabeela]

I chose my current job simply because I love it, it's not so much about the money really, even though it pays good, but my real career is in the health field, and it was waste of money and time because I hate it, and to be honest the only reason I did it was for the money nothing else, I remember the first day in class the teacher asking us "are you guys here because you like helping others, or for the money, be honest" and everyone claiming they are doing it because they LOVE helping people and its not so much about the money even though it's nice, BULLSHIT.

After I finish school, are there going to be enough job opportunity in my field? The other is like some homies said money sxb! If you make good money for some time you can always do the thing you like even if you have to go back to school for it.

lol @ Nabeela. I hear you sxbey. But I believe one has to perform to the best of their ability to do thier job! And money is an important issue regardles!

Whats with all of you people talking about how you make money in the health sector? The money is good, but not that good! I'm starting to think they pay crazy amount in North America. Here in the UK, a doctor is paid £35,000 as starting point and with experience they get more. A good surgeon can get up to £80,000 and GP can get about that amount too. Now, £80,000 is good money, but anything less is not all that, and given the amount of rubbish that comes with jobs in the health sector, its money well paid.

The best money is to be found in the business sector.

That is kind of low. A friend of mine just completed medical school and his starting salary is $140,000 and he was employed by a Somali dude.

lol true, but at the end of the day is all about the money saxib.

You know Nabeela, lately if you are a prospect student and not worring job security or how much money you will make then simply you are not planing your future carefully! The things that you might be good at or like, you can always do it later when you are actually mature enough to enjoy it.

Hee no wonder why all of you lot are excited about a medical degree.

A consultant in the UK can earn up to £150,000 thats like $240,000, but by then you are a pro at your job and probably in your 40s and later.

I've seen GPs who were in their mid-30's, and that would mean their getting £70,000 and higher, thats not bad for a 35 year old. They get up to £100,000 easily. The Prime Minister who runs the country is paid £175,000.

Info: (A general practitioner or GP is a medical practitioner who provides primary care and specializes in family medicine. A general practitioner treats acute and chronic illnesses and provides preventive care and health education for all ages and both sexes. They have particular skills in treating people with multiple health issues and comorbidities.)

This is who we would see mainly see if were not feeling well.

Warsan,

True say. I want money to help others; primarly. Plus its always good to have an ambition, it's a give & take situation. You provide something for the people = A plus for them. They give you money = A help for you.

Indeed it is. Afterall you have a family to provide for.

Warsan, even $240k is low for a skilled doctor

a lot of doctors at that level are at half a million per year...easily

but thats because our health care industry is run by insurance companies, there is no public plan (other than medicare which is for 65 and older...and even that has high costs)

every lamagodley somali wants to become a doctor or an engineer, if they fail 2 become the former 2, males become cab drivers and females become janitors and clean toilets in airports or hotels. nothing in between.

I have been told by my lecturer that I would make an exceptional Lawyer after I have done very well in Commercial Law (the hardest subject in the fresh year) But I have rejected it on religious grounds (couldn't work with or advocate for man-made laws that have countless loop holes, and redicolous judicial system that made possible for murderers to be free after 8-10 years of free acommodation and food).

our lecturer told us that he helped few criminals to get off he hook, even though they told him that they were guilty

he always told us "whats just isn't always fair" so

example

Aborting her baby is possibly the worst thing that a woman has a right to do. But, even though an innocent human life is taken, no one has the right to use violence to prevent a woman from ridding her body of a human parasite, even if we assume the fetus has all the rights of an adult. Abortion is just, but it certainly is not fair to the unborn child.



I have studied Business management and then swithed to IT after few years.

so its good to have Business admin skills on top of any technical skills i.e. Engineering.

Im now IT professional with Master's degree, and work as a systems and network admin using Cisco and Microsoft infrastructure.

will create my own IT company in Africa soon insha allah.

NB: does one need education to make mony? No, as I have seen many succesful business ppl who never went to school. one needs to have the willpower and the drive

I never seen an educated Gibil-cad, they all working in restuarants, tailors or singing. At least lamagodle you taking about are the ones that ruled and died for the Somalia that you lived, wrote the language you spoke (although u speak broken), they lead you in religion, in politics and in social life, so are you just jealouse or you it's pure hate aka Cuqdad shaanshi boy?

[surrender]

my career path will take me to somalia.

That`s weird because I know a guy that just finished Medical School in the UK, and he`s just a intern and he`s making 50,000£. Doctors make a whole lot of money, and at the end of the it all comes down too money, when your trying to feed your family


And for the people out there saying money can`t buy you happiness, your full of BS it can as long as you handle it well your good to go, money can buy you anything but life itself.
