I am not against people sending you IM but it is best if the questions are thrown on the thread so others can learn and get info. That is if your intentions are clear.

Yup, I get countless PMs on a daily basis and I try as much as I can to reply. Sadly, 90% of the pms I receive are about some _cock and bull story. Like do these people think I’m THAT naive? Come on guys, I be naija boy too.

Right now, I don’t reply PMs anymore. If it’s that urgent, post it here or send a message on my Instagram page. I would answer to the best of my limited knowledge

One tip. Go to a healthcare facility website or hospital website. Go to the career section. The most jobs that have the most vacancies are good indicators of what is in demand.

I wasnt familiar with this particular field until I looked at the link someone suggested. It seems to me that healthcare administration is very similar. With what I read health insurance might be a niche or healthcare administration or even social work.. Research healthcare administration. And go to a insurance website like Anthem or Medicare. Go to the career section. See if there are jobs that interest you and look for the education background requirements ( type of degree i.e. Business, healthcare administration, social work, or general.

True. That goes for programs in a traditional setting also. That is why everyone must do their own fact checks and research even after recommendations from well meaning people. Although, the school that stonemaster named is accreditted and reputable. In my state the government formed a partnership with it. I hope you didnt get burned in the past with accredditation. I have heard of such happening to the point that there were class action law suits. The problem is some of these schools shut down and then reopen under a new name.

Ah! Summer time. The weather is progressively getting warmer and the clothes are getting skimpier.

Ladies of all shapes and sizes are stepping out with the tiniest of clothing; Bum shorts that leave the ass cheeks hanging out, sundresses that leave nothing to the imagination, even panties and bra and flip flops to top it off. There’s nothing like morality holding these ladies back, trust me when I tell you, these ladies leave nothing to the imagination! They might as well be walking around completely naked

Yankee is beautiful

On Saturday, early in the morning, I went to play soccer in Chicago, close to University of Chicago in Illinois (UIC). I drove for like 20 minutes and the sun was still rising when I got there. After playing for 1 hour or so, the weather started getting hotter and hotter. We had to stop cos the sun became unbearable. Even for me, a full blooded African young man, the sun was too hot to handle! When I got in my car, I checked the temperature and it was around 100 degrees Fahrenheit

We were a couple more minutes from having a heatstroke https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_stroke

After soccer, I went home and freshened up, then I drove down to the school to write the English placement test. We were required to read and summarize a story about some lady’s experiences while growing up from a poor background. This was followed by a couple of questions, one of which we were asked to equate the lady’s experiences with something that happened in ours. I wrote about some hardship story using Nigeria as the setting; there was a lot to write about, but I didn’t want to do too much. An academic advisor gave me a tip earlier on, that they aren’t actually looking at the length of your essay, they would be looking at sentence structures and technical stuff. The placement test was done on a computer and lasted approximately 2hours

my brother works in UIC!!
