Your Advice For "jjc" by awonboiz: 7:39pm On Apr 16, 2008 |
If you were to spend about ten minuites with someone who have arrived in the west for the first time, what will be your advice to that JJC? I was lucky to spend sometime; about 10-15 min. with a guy who just came from Enugu in Nigeria. He was open and a good communicator. He threw the question at me asking what advice I have for him as he plans to go to college now and get a degree. During our conversation I noted that he will be staying on his own and will first secure a job. Here is my advice to him: 1. Find a job. Any job. Work for about a year. Do something stupid at the job and get fired. 2. Apply for unemployment. 3. Apply for college The benefits: You will get the government to pay you salary and then pay for your studies. You will then have enough time to school yourself and a year of American experience. This is the map to the american dream I told him. this worked for me and it was the best advice I got from my dad's corner corner madam. come up with a helpful hint please . |

I never advice people to go for social benefit especially under unemployment. It's not an ideal except s/he wants to remain a low profile someone in the state. Once a person has applied for, and has been under social benefit, his or her value is lost, and s/he won't have standard credibility in some certain rights, such as, the rights to invite a person from his or her country irrespective of the relationship or purpose of visit etc. There are several other things that a person who has been under social welfare benefit will not be qualified for. |
