tonidgreat:Your proficiency should start from now. You should at least get some background knowledge and if possible a related job experience before leaving Nigeria even if it's in Analytics or any related Software Engineering field. Learning from scratch while already in the US is not easy. Pressure too much. 7 Likes |

Good morning MackyNaija, I will be migrating to the US with an immigrant visa next year, I was searching for certifications that may get me an entry level job as an Engineer/Technician over there, I came across the ASQ certified Quality Technician(CQT) and certified Quality Process Analyst(CQPA) do you think I can get a quality technician, calibration technician, QA analyst etc position with any of those certifications, How valuable are they?? My Second option is to get a Solidworks professional certification, Do you think I can get a job with it too?? Thanks, as I await your response |

TEODIN:please what do you mean by Immigrant visa?, Is it a work visa or study visa? |

Wow....Finally got to the final page of this brilliant and inspiring thread.....Mr MackyNaija thank you so much for being selfless and a light in this broken world....What you do here is amazing and uplifting....We truly appreciate your being and wish you greater wins/successes! Pls I need an advise from you cos you are such an experienced critical thinker.......A Quick background - I graduated as a medical laboratory scientist in 2019 and after that I couldn't keep up with the poor salary of health professionals in Nigeria here...That led me into coding/ IT field where I got certifications as a data analyst/scientist from the prestigious online school(Dataquest).....In 2020, I got a remote job for a polish startup/company as a healthcare data analyst.... I am 23 years now and wanna leave this country to the US/Sweden to give myself and future the best I scanned through your former school and cant see any masters in the healthcare field (Saw one for computer science though)...Also discovered on here of many scholarships/funding options and that one can go from bachelors to PHD without masters. Now, I've already applied for a masters in public health in 4 Swedish universities but believe the tech field will offer me more...Should I take GRE, TOEFL etc and apply for a PHD/masters in the US (noticed PHD has better funding opportunities) in computer science/IT considering my bachelors is in healthcare? Will it work?....what do you candidly advise me to do?..Leaving Nigeria this year is a MUST! Thank you once again...... MackyNaija: |

Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by Elnon: 8:44pm On Feb 22, 2021 |
Done researching about this Uni and dept...I'm impressed to discover such health-tech masters course...Thanks for this brilliant recommendation. Now, this department doesn't require GRE and TOEFL for Nigerians...All they need is a health/tech related degree course, official Bsc transcript, proficiency in data tech skills, filling online application form, $35 application fee and 3 letters of reference.....According to them the departments selects GA....Should I still go ahead and write the GRE to stand a chance of being selected for GA? Should I also contact the department as regards this to know if there is any other requirements for GA application?.......Thanks Mogenerous: |

TEODIN: From what I have seen, Technician roles have many entry level openings that don't require experience or certifications. They only need your punctuality, ability to show up for your shifts and the right attitude towards work. For "Engineer" roles, it is different.. They like their education and then any previous related American job experience. My advice, in any field you want to build a career in, start with entry level technician/associate roles that only require you to have a pulse, go to an American school even if it's a community college at first then your path will be clear and future bright. About your other question, companies accept/recognize world-wide recognized certifications/skills like the ones that you mentioned. If you already know what the field talks about, you'll exit the entry level roles faster than you can imagine [s]then you go blow with plenty dollars everywhere![/s] ![]() 1 Like |

Systrom:Original was sighted and a copy made. Elnon... I'll try to chip in to your question when I'm on my laptop. Long posts via mobile is laborious. It SEEMS most schools have waived GRE and Toefl for obvious coviK related reasons. Thanks Mogenerous for your pointers. |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by TEODIN: 8:16am On Mar 02, 2021 |
MackyNaija:Thanks for your response boss, At least I won’t waste money for the Asq certification since I can get those jobs without the certificate |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by MackyNaija(m): 5:58pm On Mar 02, 2021 |
TEODIN:Each of those certifications can lead to a Process, Manufacturing or Quality Engineer roles. My current company converts high flying technicians to engineer roles in approximately 5 years but they start at Engr 1. This is possible because of an allowance for those with an applicable "numerous years" of experience. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by Mogenerous(f): 2:27am On Mar 04, 2021 |
Elnon: Certainly, contact the department to be sure. Last I checked, you might not need GRE to get an admission but you do need it to get GA. Also, you have to know they require that you evaluate your undergraduate degree so you can check WES or ECE. |

Good day. I’ve been following this thread for a while. And I’ve been motivated. I applied to California state university Fresno for admission. I applied for industrial technology undergraduate and I got the admission for fall. Just getting the banks statement for my i20. Sir are they any student loan I can get to help with with tuition and any advice ? Thanks in anticipation 1 Like |

Because I too would be going to school again I went back too hot points from macky I am in page 30 now, I'll update when I am done |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by MackyNaija(m): 11:58pm On Mar 18, 2021 |
wonderiks:Calif0rnia's cost of living is very expensive, Fresno might be fair. It makes more financial sense to do a hack - complete a bachelors in Nigeria and come over for a masters. A private university Bsc + an American Msc is always cheaper on average than an American 4 yr Bsc. If you wanna struggle with tuition (Most Nigerians do), it is always 'easier' to struggle for just 1 out of the 2 years of a Masters than a full 4 year Bsc. |

Timiofak:Also note that you need to focus an equal amount of energy and possibly more to get a job before graduation. What use is a certificate with 4.0 if you cannot exchange it for USD?? ![]() 3 Likes 1 Share |
