As a software developer, I just laughed small while watching the video lool - coding , programming , software developer are all the same. But I must commend your video quality and content, it's amazing. Keep it up
Thank you. I knew you set of geniuses will laugh at me😂😂😂😂😂. Do you work in the UK? If yes, do you mind to share your journey to becoming a software developer in the UK on my channel?
@@OpeGodis Naa deary, currently in Ghana, will be relocating to the UK in April 2022. Have already done some required certifications exams and hoping to land a job when I arrive. Will be glad to share with you all the needed info afterwards 👍🏽
Those scammers they promise to make up to $50,000 profit within the space of 7 days with just $500 to invest and end up not even refunding your capital but she's a woman of integrity, with $500 he will tell you she can only make profit within the range of $4000 to $8,900 and she actually delivers.... she's great
@opeyemi Godis I am not a nurse but i can say that your analysis is biased. In your presentation, you only mentioned what an entry-level nurse earns, not mid-career, not senior level. All professions have entry-level positions. Most if not all of the professions you talked about don't start with such salaries at an entry-level position. As you ascend the professional ladder, your salary increases, although the rate of ascension on the professional ladder viz a viz salary increment now differs depending on your type of profession. The salaries you stated for all those other professions are what they actually earn at mid-career/senior positions and not junior positions. Nurses may not be the most paid in the UK but it's still one of those professions that you get into and you can be confident that you have job security. Thumbs up for all nurses out there!
Totally agree with you Fakua, those salary ranges from 25k - 100k are there in nearly every profession but is entirely dependent on level of experience / seniority in that career path. Perhaps it is more difficult to get through that ladder in a Nursing profession, I am not an expert, I don’t know but there are BAs who earn as low as 25-30k in the Uk and as high as 100k ( maybe mid-senior level BAs or Contractors) but the idea that these are entry level earnings is simply not true. There is a lot of context around wages including what type of industry or sector you are in.
Very valid, pretty much all the job types mentioned have lots of people working and earning less than £30K a year. And there are many career paths where you can earn more than nurses. Bottom line is choose the career path that aligns with your strengths and please find mentors and sponsors, develop an intentional career plan and ensure you maximise the time, energy and money you invest in the marketplace. There are top earners and low earners in pretty much every career. I know too many law graduates who never even get to practice and they end up doing completely unrelated jobs. And a few who've gone on to build phenomenal careers. What I'm confused about is why so many seem to opt for nursing when there's so much more out there. No problem if thats what excites you but there's so much more to explore.
Honestly, I find this video very offensive. Thank you for your comment. As a nurse, the joy I derive when I care for my patients and they get well and go home healthy gives me joy. Every profession have their entry point, her points are without figures and facts. After tax, as a ward nurse, I do have take home of 2200- 2400 sometimes cos if you do 6 night duty a month, you earn more, if you do weekend, you earn more. Aside my part-time job weekly pay(bank shift) that if I do 3 or 4 a month, after tax I can have close to 800 or 900. How many companies employ lawyers readily especially from African countries as much as NHS pay? I opined that you are one of those people that went for nursing cos of the money not for the love and passion for humanity, its a big shame to hear that you are a nurse and you spat this from your mouth. Encourage people to get side hustle and multiple source of income not to rubbish nursing by saying they earn 'meagre' Within 8 months of working as a nurse in the UK, I know how much I jave saved and spent in helping others. You shouldn't be saying this at a time that where is a 'Macedonian call' for nurses in all NHS hospital due to shortage of staff. Do you also know that the more you earn, the more tax you pay? So those you said earn upto 50-60k per annum, ask them if they don't also pay upto about 20-25k for tax yearly. So what's the difference? I will pi k this and report it to NMC that you are as a nurse in made a video like this. Shame!!
@@preciousvalentina5643You have indeed hit the nail in the head. It's the joy and personal fulfilment that matters in any profession one chooses. it's really so shameful a video like this is coming from someone in the nursing profession, making disparaging remarks about her own profession. Tueh!
@@preciousvalentina5643 I think ultimately the lady is entitled to her opinion, don’t think you need to report her because he primary goal in her own Nursing career is to earn money and be successful, that doesn’t mean she can’t still be a professional or exceptional nurse but I agree with you that you can earn as much money working as a nurse as you can in so many careers at different stages of them.
Well done Ope, great content.. You are absolutely correct about Nurses' pay, you can earn a lot more though if you can pick your bag at any time and travel around as an agency Nurse but definitely not for mums with young children or a family so to say. I have a neighbor who works with the Council, his job is to be in the truck, empty the Recycling bins on the street and go back to the office; he earns almost double of what I earn as a Band 6 Nurse. Also, some live-in Carers earn so much more than Nurses
Seriously? This is shocking. I almost have to tell myself daily affirmations so I don't regret my choice of becoming a nurse as sometimes it can seem like too much stress is endured for the low pay.
When starting as a nurse in the nhs I agree with you that the pay is not that much, but get thru a ladder to obtain training and get into specialised area. Now I would say with more knowledge and hands on experience, I earn more than average(not disclosing). And nursing are currently in demand everywhere either a work from home or in a hospital setting. NHS is not the only place, there is also private hospitals that pay more aside from being in an agency. But all this takes time just like other careers, if you are an ITU/HDU or other special fields in nursing the pay is really not bad. Good content though, keep it up 👍🏻
This really helps . I did health and social care in uk trying to cross to nursing I had offers in 4 unis last year but couldn't get student loan but I learnt NHS can sponsor . I don't know this process please can you hint me on that please? I have leave to remain in uk but because I haven't got my indefinite I wasn't offer student loan . Thanks I'm advance
@@Adeyemiphunmie if you are already working in the NHS check your Trust’s offer for training-it’s all free. Also Speak to your line manager or senior nurses on what courses are on offer within your field. Grab those opportunities to expand your CPD (professional development), it will be a pathway for promotion/career growth. Examples of training/workshop - venepuncture and cannulation, continence care, neuroscience care, PDOC (prolonged disorder of consciousness) stoma care, cardiac, urology, management and leadership-these are just few to mention. Hope this helps🙂
@@graecieluv thanks very much this helps though I am not working with NHS yet but want to cross so I can have those opportunities. Really grateful for this.
@@Adeyemiphunmie Don’t be discouraged about the NHS payment. We always start at the bottom going up, and the current healthcare system needs a lot of nurses. The turnover and promotion if you are proactive are fast. 😊
The issue is that Nursing is easy to get into. Once you have your qualification you will 100% get a job. The other professions mentioned requires a lot of academic skills and could be very difficult to get your first job.
Not necessarily! Nursing is not easy to get into if you are going for your RN. Yes, you will get a job but it takes time especially if you don’t have experience. Most people that I came across who went for nursing did not find it easy as they all stated it requires a lot of studying.
@@IyaT-c5e I guess what Adebanjo meant is that getting a job after your nursing studies is easy. You misinterpreted what he/she implied. Let’s be honest, nurses are in high demand, hence the reason a lot of people now want to study nursing cos of the ease in getting a job. The program is very rigorous and demanding but if you are able to scale through, getting a job isn’t as tough as other professions.
Hello Opeyemi, like the quality of your video. However, I think you need to do more research on your topic. You have not been fair to health care service in the UK. Salary range for new entry for nurses is between £25,657 - £35,000. We also have different level and types in nursing field. There are nurses who are earning £60,000 per annum. As for the Law professionals (Barristers and Solicitors) it all depends on the type of law - corporate law, family law, property law etc. There are lawyers in their entry level who earn £25,000 per annum. There are law graduates who are still looking for training but couldn't find any. Also, UK are only employing professionals from other countries into only hard to fill roles in the country which law, project management and others you mentioned are not part of it.
Great video. Another 'easy' profession to get into in the UK is CBT Therapy. The NHS will pay for you to complete the 9-month qualification. While you train you get paid £36,000 then once qualified, you start at Band 7 - £40,100. As a nurse, it would be very easy for you to get into. With a nursing qualification, you can also get onto the training...just make sure you have mental health work experience. As a CBT Therapist, you can make about £90,000 a year with agencies or private work. There is a lot of information out there about CBT Therapy. Sometimes it's called High-Intensity Therapist.
Oh wow. Thank you for this. I have a sis in law who is recently divorced and is now a single mother with 2 young kids. She literally had to bear stop working while married so, now she’s looking to start a career (she’s almost 40). She has 2 degrees already but, not a lot of work experience. She was working for a few years (part time) for NHS though. Do you have any websites you can suggest for both the training/bursary and courses?
I am not quite surprise about the nurses cos most of my friends that graduated were a bit disappointed of their low pay and they knew is that stressful with minimal wage, some avre running away actually. How about social workers,? Can you advise on that area. As per all that you mentioned, project management sounds great for me but don't know what it requires and if your not into analysis, can one fit in. Thank you sis💕
Opeyemi, you are right, am a Security Officer and I earn 40.000 + a year (two jobs) as a security officer you can take as many shifts as you like, if you know what you want. All jobs pay if you're not Lazy.
I like this breakdown of alternative careers for the UK, yet each field definitely requires more than qualifications and experience but also a resourceful network of people.👌🏽
As a Solicitor in the UK, you made a lot of valid points but more can be explained in our sector. I stumbled on your video and subscribed to encourage your efforts. Good video. Keeip t up!
The average salary as Newly qualified Nurse (Band 5 at the bottom of the ladder) depends on your location. Fir Nurses who live and work in Greater London, they earn more than other locations. My trust is at the top of the list and the average is between over £1800 and £2000 for a starter and of course with the AFC, things progress. However, Nurses are still underpaid and over utilised. Well done for your content.
Well I am from Canada and work at a hospital and here nursing pays good. Registered nurse about 35-45 dollars an hour depending on experience. If you are a critical care nurse you can make $100,000 or more. Most of my friends that are nurses in the hospital go back to school to become clinical managers or professors to teach nursing and these pay good. After a little while of being a clinical manager you can because a director. They get prayed over $200,000. So nursing is a great starting point.
Well done Opeyemi, good job! However, career and financial success in the UK is not limited to corporate jobs alone. There are many professions that are very well paid more than nursing. Even good caterers, makeup artists, plumbers, electricians earn decent money. Try and do a bit more research to ensure you deliver a robust view. I am happy to assist you with this project.
Exactly I was gonna say that as well A whole lot of people still wants to know how to makeup for different occasions I am a makeupartist I see a lot of ladies do makeup wrongly Hand skills earn decent money
To be a solicitor or barrister in UK with an accent isn't a walk in the park. People have had to go take classes to improve their accent to ensure they can work with certain firms etc.
Please educate them. She doesn't know how lucky she is to be a nurse from Nigeria. I'm a lawyer and live in the US. I have at least 7 classmates in the UK that are doing other stuff, you can pass the exams but you won't get the jobs. A girl that probably never earned up to £150 a month in Nigeria is saying £2,500 a month in the UK is peanuts, that's ingratitude
You are right. During our first lesson in Contract Law an English teacher told us if English was our second language we were going to find it hard to find jobs. Most of us called him a racist. Because of a variety accents, we were even finding it difficult to understand each other as we tried to justify that he was a racist. Years down the line during studies with no contracts, men doing cabbing and women in carework to supplement studies, we realised HE WAS RIGHT. We graduated with good grades, some did Legal Practice Course, I earn much more doing Live in care work than them. The UK Legal System is predominantly white at the top.
@@witneyhuston9050 Thank you for coming forth to educate these ones that are lucky but don't know it. The legal profession in the UK is white dominated as it should be! We cannot come from our failed nations and take away the prestigious professions from the natives who made the country prosperous. In Nigeria where I come from, the legal profession is dominated by blacks and we have made it a total mess to the extent that a nurse coming from Nigeria feels that she should be earning the same with lawyers. I believe that having run our countries down, we should be grateful for whatever positions they give to us in the white man's land and we should prove ourselves by making a success of whatever position is given to us
@@OpeGodis 😂😂😂 I'm a nurse and wondered why I didn't go into project management and if there is some sort of nursing related project management or IT job I could get, so this comment made me laugh! I'm still looking for that specially created job for myself 😂
I don't know about outside London but newly qualified nurses in London earn £30 786.00 that is not including unsocial hours. Nursing is not a highly paid profession but it's the only career where every Tom, Dick and Harry can easily secure employment. Nurses have the advantage of earning more money by working bank shifts with agencies.
You are right about agency nurses earning more. I do agency on the side and it’s financially rewarding but one won’t make so much money working full time in the NHS alone.
Did I just hear project managers and business Analysts? Naaaa those are outdated, their relevance has declined over recent years due to the influence of Agile. So I'll put scrum master, product owner, product managers, agile coaches, release train engineers in the place of PM and BA
Nurses are not well paid but they can easily get job and get paid promptly as scheduled in western countries for the job done compared to Nigeria where some nurses live in agony in the hands of politicians who emptied treasuries leading to none payment of salaries. Thanks for the info, you need to consider "foreign / accent issues" .How many foreigners are in those fields you just analized.?..Healthcare is always the best for most foreigners to survive in western countries.
Exactly exactly, Healthcare is where foreigners can fit in. Besides, as a common foreigner, how do you get in there? Good analysis, but its good to consider the circumstances first
There are many professions in the UK that pays far in excess of £25K. Some of them are even less celebrated jobs. E.g. HGV Lorry drivers earn close to £60K per annum. Yes they do. Fire Fighters too do earn a good crust. But the issues are the same, high cost of living and unavoidable high taxes negates the perceived high numbers.
It's interesting l came across this video. Nurses pay is bad especially if you have a mortgage. By the time you pay your Council Tax, Water bill, electricity and rent privately or pay for a mortgage, the money is not worth it. I was born here and returned to the UK after earning a degree in Nigeria. Please do not go into nursing as you will regret it later if there is no passion for it. People die in the job cos they do extra hours and their body will wear out quickly. I have seen nurses changing their profession a few times. The money is not worth it if you are not called to be one. As a Christian, l will say seek God for what he wants you to do in Britain. All the best for all seeking to relocate.
There are specialise profession in nursing that their salary is up to £100k or more but you must upgrade to master degree so note that. It is hard to rise to position of project manager in uk when you don't have experience with good company even if you have qualifications.
Are you saying as an entry level nurse, you can make £100k? To earn £100k as a nurse in the UK, you will either be a director or do agency full time or work two jobs. Would you mind mentioning those specialities in nursing that pay £100k so I can switch my specialty? Thanks for watching.
I watched your video with the intention of learning a thing or two but right from the start of the video I got pissed with your sarcasm. Honestly, nursing is not just about the money, it's a call. Am sure you can never care passionately for an unknown person just because of the money involved, OK? So many professionals in nursing earn so much more than you mentioned. You can actually compare professions without being judgemental. You a nurse? Nahhhh you must be health care support worker
@@olayinkafunmilayo1378 infact I thought she wasn't a nurse until I went through the comments.I felt something off when I started watching the video, unfortunately I won't finish it.
@@olayinkafunmilayo1378 I like the bit about caring for people in your comment, that is seeing nursingas a call, yes I know and love that. But I think what Ope is trying to say is that, for those coming in for the money, they can think twice and consider other carrier paths so they do not regret having based their decisions on popular opinion of money that may be false 💖
@@olayinkafunmilayo1378 exactly.. I got pissed off as well.. she lacks knowledge. She does not know what she’s saying. She does not know specialist nursing areas that earn over 100k . She’s either new to the UK or she’s a care worker. Also calling 25k chicken change is disrespectful ..
Thank you jare! Comparison is the thief of joy. So if a Nigerian studied nursing in Nigeria out of love for the profession, then she finds an opportunity to travel to the UK, she will get their and become unhappy because lawyers are earning more abi? Oya go and become lawyer or business analyst na! Mtschew!!!
It is important to be flexible when choosing your career path..Passion don’t always feed your financial plan.A side hustle can even pay more than your passion and even replace your current passion .
Yaaaaassssss! You could do project/programme management in the UK Health Security Agency (formerly known as PHE). I’ve seen jobs there wanting people from a nursing background (£50-60k starting). Register at Civil Service Jobs and set up alerts. I’ve also seen similar roles in NHS (but, they wanted more PM qualifications). I would also recommend doing the APM PMQ (project management qualification). You can purchase their self-study guide then sit the exam. That will definitely help you to get your foot in the door. (I’m a chartered project professional working in a senior role. I interview for various roles at times so, I know what helps 😉😉😉)
Hi Missus, thanks for your insight! 🤗 I’m looking to go this route and have a few questions RE price for online APM PMQ, hours to invest, difficulty of exam etc. I’m an ICU nurse looking to change careers. Can we chat??
You are right! You can earn well as an Information Technology professional as long as you know what you are doing. I chose to specialise in Cyber Security and it has really been interesting and worthwhile. The flexibility of working from home is one of the attractions. I mentored my partner onto cyber Security and he snapped up a work from home job 2 months after his MSc graduation.
Gal, wrong comparison. Compare nursing with other health care related professions- industry. However, if you want to compare good paying jobs, in general then another ball game.
This is a very educative video sis! I am teacher and moved to the UK in 2020. I could only work as a TA as I needed a top up training to be able to get a job as a teacher. However, I am thinking of switching career and IT is on my mind lol. A new subscriber here sis. I really enjoyed this video.
@@homobohlar I moved here with EEA visa as my husband lives and work here. However, one of the best ways to get a visa if you do not have your spouse abroad is through education. May be consider applying for a study in the UK. If you are into community development and leadership, you may want to try Chevening scholarship which is a one year masters full scholarship (they do have some conditions though). I hope this is helpful.
The salary you quote for nursing is a starting salary and you have an endless ladder you can climb and so many specialty’s where you can earn sooooo , l have been a nurse in the uk for the past 30 year and will not change it
It's easy to say with mouth than going into the courses,nothing is easy to do,access your self know what is good for you and follow it.experiences and age matter alot while searching for job in the UK do not be deceive with sweet words
Interesting yes of course many more professions earn more than nurses in the UK including brick layers road builders, plumbers electricians and other non professional and professional categories However the key issue for Africans in the UK is what professions will most likely hire Blacks and retain them in big numbers? Comes back to nursing care and health profession mainly Most Blacks in the UK even though qualified as lawyers project managers etc do not get opportunities in these higher paying jobs. Nursing however is nearly guaranteed and Blacks are expected to work in these professions. So really it's a matter of access. Racism denies many qualified Africans and Blacks access to higher paying professions outside nursing. Let's understand WHY many Choose nursing and I think it's not because the profession pays well. It's a well established fact that nurses in UK have been demanding higher wages. Many have quit the profession because of low wages or moved to countries such as the US where they earn more
Spot on ! you have captured the quintessence of why many Africans resort to Nursing. Most of the time, this decision is not by choice. I have a degree but had to reapply to study Nursing as i could not find work in my chosen field. For years, i have found myself going from small jobs to jobs and never managed to get a graduate job. Great for noticing that trend as well.
You just took the words from my mouth, you need to streamline it to top paying jobs for immigrants, jobs easily accessible to qualified black immigrants, also consider Work visa sponsorship, your list is for people that already have a settled status in the UK, I knw peeps that got good offers but immediately they declare their visa status they withdraw the offer.
Love your content 👌 My Father always tell us that It’s not how much you earn, it’s how much you save… bcoz I’ve worked with people in the past who were in a higher position than me but I always hear certain individuals spoke from time to time how they’ve got no money. Many people get themselves into problems bcoz they live their life “Keeping Up With The Jones’s”
Teachers starting salary in Uk is more that nurses starting salary. And each year teacher progresses to the next level of salary. At the end of 5 years,a teacher annual salary should be upto £40,000:00 plus
Hi Ope 👋 Nice finding your channel, I’m a computer science graduate, and interested in digital marketing, I intend taking some professional courses, afterwards applying for jobs outside Nigeria, even thou I have no idea or whatever how to go about it as at now! Lol
Please go and do your own research because this whole salary she is talking about is flawed. Yes people do earn that etc etc but at what entry level? They just don't finish Uni and earn that amount in ICT and the rest. With law its even worse as depending on what one chooses, if you have an accent you may find it difficult to be certified. A lot goes into all this. There are people who are just security personnel in international or big organisations who earn 40k plus depending on the shifts they also do. So this presentation unfortunately is very flawed and people need to do their own research too. That being said she has at least given some people ideas and something to think about. So kudos to her.
You have a great collection of jumpers, I find myself looking at them whenever you make sit-down videos. I’ve known about IT being a very good career path and that they earn more than nurses do.
Who thinks that nursing in the UK pays more?! i was a nurse and midwife who moved to Canada and Australia, the starting salary was around £15 K more than new band 5 bay in the UK.
Welldone sis...am not suprised that a lot of career pay more than nurses... I only feel that nursing licendakes migration a lot easier, also why do I feel nurses are to much all over the place making it look like they earn the most.
I was not surprised with the salaries nurses earn so many professions pay more. You have added Investment Bankers they earn between €57,000 to €120,000. Great job and content. I just had to subscribe
Including SM (Scrum Master), POs (Product Owners), QAs (Quality Assurance), SWs (Software Developers), UX & UI and quiet a number of them. I’m a Scrum Master and I work with all these people with titles I mentioned. Presently, America is pumping a lot into IT. So yes you are right there’s a lot of money in the IT sector.
@@ritaphiri So BA is a total different career from an accountant. BAs work closely with Stakeholders, POs, SMs, & SWDs. If a company is still practising waterfall then they tend to still have the traditional names called PMs but if the company transitioned into Agile, they are called BAs. They get all the requirements needed from the stakeholders and take it to the backend team for them to work on. If your team doesn’t have a BA, then It will be the job of your Product Owner to do all that. It’s kinda wide and in-depth. But this is just an overview of it. You might want to do more research. Hope I was able to help.
Am sorry but before you start thinking of running away from your home country because you,ve seen a video like this on RUclips, remember those amount are what we in Germany refer to as "Brutto" (Google the word), in Europe you pay for "EVERYTHING " (yes I wrote em in capital letters for a reason), don't be deceived by videos like this abeg.Nuff said!
25k is the average UK salary and is definitely not chicken change. Most jobs start from this and build up as you get more experience. Mental health nurses and specialist nurses get paid over 45K. Even a junior doctor starts off with about 26K
Hi good content however you need to do a proper research with the information you have to educate more about professions/job in UK. Sorry just a clear opinion I feel this information may mislead people who are willing to come to UK or willing to switch over to nursing. I am not in that field but I am have a friend who just qualified as a mental health nurse 1year ago and coming from a council officer background, she said that’s one of her best decision she has made. Talking about lawyers your salary figures are not accurate ma, I know lawyers who don’t earn that salary figure, have you thought of pharmacists, Drs, consultants in medical field, surveyors, housing professionals and many more ,and some of this field that you have mentioned sis they are so easier said than done. Remember most of the salary figures are base on contract not a permanent role. My honest opinion, well done and keep it up.
Love ur channel. You just got a subscriber. Pls what about mass communication courses like public relations and advertising? Is it in high demand in the UK?
Not too surprised anyway. What determines how much you earned in any field is the quality of the problem you solved or you are solving. But thank you this insight. It was quite educative.
It all depends on your shift with the NHS and your location.Some can take home £1800-£2000 after tax deduction.While nurses that work permanently with agencies earn more.Those professions you mentioned don’t have job opportunities like nursing,I know of two colleagues that are studied law first but now they are in nursing profession.Those salaries you mentioned are not for starters,as you progress in your study you can earn more in nursing.
Nice video, this made me laugh as a software developer lol. coding, programming and software developer is same thing. this video is on point and very informative.. many thanks
I am a BA and used to be a chartered accountant .I never liked health care so I knew I wasn’t going to be looking even if they pay well..I am doing a freelance on content writing and it’s very linked to my role as a BA working with dev team to build apps and website ..So my content writing is coming useful..It is good to unlock what God has deposited in you..people should be flexible and not be rigid minded ..Thumbs up Ope
I am in Education. It’s not bad at all, and easy to get. Some Head- teacher are on 7 figure salary. I see myself doing project management or content creation as a side hustle
@@OpeGodis of course. If you do have a degrees, you will need to do a PGSC OR Level 5 Diploma in Education & Training. I did Level 5 course. They both include compulsory teaching practice . When you finish just apply for job on “indeed” or any any agencies
Accounting is very lucrative in the UK, even with your ICAN and work experience , especially if you are in the big 4 in Nigeria, you can easily relocate and get a job in big 4 accounting/audit in the UK. If you now add certification like CISA you are hot cake. If you now enter Canada ehn..moneeeeyyy... There is money in nursing as a registered nurse and you float your care agency in the UK, that s the reall money. All the best in your choice
Thanks for the info… on a different note; you actually have a beautiful glowing skin! Can you please advise what you use to achieve that look? By the way; I use my little sons name here but im a lady..
Unfortunately, nurses aren’t well paid in the UK. I tell people, if you want to make money as a nurse, go to America. UK is better for work life balance not for becoming wealthy. Thanks for your comment Josset.
The NMC requires student nurses to complete 2300 hours of clinical placement while training (NMC, 2019), however it is up to the individual universities to decide how this should be included. I don't know why the UK nurses are paid far less than other industrialised advanced countries. Uk is the 5th largest economy in the world from 2021 research study. The possibility the following countries I going to mention pay far more than the UK is so annoying and alarming. The UK government needs to increase the salary of UK nurses to at least £35,000 to £38,000 per year. Nurse Salary per country 1. Luxembourg $91,000 2.USA $73,000
I saw you at jubilee parish, lol I wasn’t so sure cause you were on wig 😊 if you notice someone looking at you today that me 😁 congrats on your baby , you look more young though 😁
I feel like people under estimate how much Retail Managers earn, especially the ones that run the flag ship stores….. I know of people that earn 40-80k even more in retail management… but not sure we want to start that topic of conversation. Lol
Kind of commend you Oppy but what happens to other professionals Doctors, Architect Pilots stock exchange. , well keep it up. Bring up more. The world needs to hear this
I think migrants chose nursing not because it pays a lot but because you could earn money while still in training and also you don't struggle to find a job after qualifying.For me nursing was a stepping stone then studied Public health, it pays better and it's less hectic
Really £25k is meager do you want to compare nursing to law, civil engineering, architect or doctor. How much do you think a graduate of any discipline earns....to me people who are over paid are MP's
Good video but please cut out the repetitive and irritating use of "like", "like". Also, it would have been useful for you to balance what you've presented with the cost of living in the UK so that viewers in NGR who might get over-excited with the salary figures and think it's all a bed of roses can put it into perspective. The cost of living in the UK; especially in city centres is humongous. Most of the people in these jobs and with so called "high" salaries are in a rate race and can't save any money from their so called high salaries salaries due to the high cost of living and taxation.

It is very difficult,cos every thing about thé contract they see to that, going to thé site, Workshop , caterpillar, drivers ete even they Travel alot. All those things help thèm to collect alot of Money, their benefir.
Nurses should not complain when there are other professional who put themselves at risk for Queen and country and get paid less than them..SAS soldiers' pay ranges from less than £25,000 a year to around £80,000, depending on their skills and rank. This compares with a basic £13,000 for privates in other regiments. Now nurses do you want to join the military????

@opeyemi Godis I am not a nurse but i can say that your analysis is biased. In your presentation, you only mentioned what an entry-level nurse earns, not mid-career, not senior level. All professions have entry-level positions. Most if not all of the professions you talked about don't start with such salaries at an entry-level position. As you ascend the professional ladder, your salary increases, although the rate of ascension on the professional ladder viz a viz salary increment now differs depending on your type of profession. The salaries you stated for all those other professions are what they actually earn at mid-career/senior positions and not junior positions. Nurses may not be the most paid in the UK but it's still one of those professions that you get into and you can be confident that you have job security. Thumbs up for all nurses out there!
Totally agree with you Fakua, those salary ranges from 25k - 100k are there in nearly every profession but is entirely dependent on level of experience / seniority in that career path. Perhaps it is more difficult to get through that ladder in a Nursing profession, I am not an expert, I don’t know but there are BAs who earn as low as 25-30k in the Uk and as high as 100k ( maybe mid-senior level BAs or Contractors) but the idea that these are entry level earnings is simply not true. There is a lot of context around wages including what type of industry or sector you are in.
Very valid, pretty much all the job types mentioned have lots of people working and earning less than £30K a year. And there are many career paths where you can earn more than nurses. Bottom line is choose the career path that aligns with your strengths and please find mentors and sponsors, develop an intentional career plan and ensure you maximise the time, energy and money you invest in the marketplace. There are top earners and low earners in pretty much every career. I know too many law graduates who never even get to practice and they end up doing completely unrelated jobs. And a few who've gone on to build phenomenal careers. What I'm confused about is why so many seem to opt for nursing when there's so much more out there. No problem if thats what excites you but there's so much more to explore.
Honestly, I find this video very offensive. Thank you for your comment. As a nurse, the joy I derive when I care for my patients and they get well and go home healthy gives me joy.
Every profession have their entry point, her points are without figures and facts.
After tax, as a ward nurse, I do have take home of 2200- 2400 sometimes cos if you do 6 night duty a month, you earn more, if you do weekend, you earn more.
Aside my part-time job weekly pay(bank shift) that if I do 3 or 4 a month, after tax I can have close to 800 or 900.
How many companies employ lawyers readily especially from African countries as much as NHS pay?
I opined that you are one of those people that went for nursing cos of the money not for the love and passion for humanity, its a big shame to hear that you are a nurse and you spat this from your mouth.
Encourage people to get side hustle and multiple source of income not to rubbish nursing by saying they earn 'meagre'
Within 8 months of working as a nurse in the UK, I know how much I jave saved and spent in helping others.
You shouldn't be saying this at a time that where is a 'Macedonian call' for nurses in all NHS hospital due to shortage of staff.
Do you also know that the more you earn, the more tax you pay? So those you said earn upto 50-60k per annum, ask them if they don't also pay upto about 20-25k for tax yearly.
So what's the difference?
I will pi k this and report it to NMC that you are as a nurse in made a video like this.
Shame!!
@@preciousvalentina5643You have indeed hit the nail in the head. It's the joy and personal fulfilment that matters in any profession one chooses. it's really so shameful a video like this is coming from someone in the nursing profession, making disparaging remarks about her own profession. Tueh!
@@preciousvalentina5643 I think ultimately the lady is entitled to her opinion, don’t think you need to report her because he primary goal in her own Nursing career is to earn money and be successful, that doesn’t mean she can’t still be a professional or exceptional nurse but I agree with you that you can earn as much money working as a nurse as you can in so many careers at different stages of them.
Well done Ope, great content.. You are absolutely correct about Nurses' pay, you can earn a lot more though if you can pick your bag at any time and travel around as an agency Nurse but definitely not for mums with young children or a family so to say. I have a neighbor who works with the Council, his job is to be in the truck, empty the Recycling bins on the street and go back to the office; he earns almost double of what I earn as a Band 6 Nurse. Also, some live-in Carers earn so much more than Nurses
Congratulations being a band 6. I need coaching please
Thanks for the comment😍
I have heard so many people say that bin collectors earn a lot of money. A job which most People under look.
Seriously? This is shocking. I almost have to tell myself daily affirmations so I don't regret my choice of becoming a nurse as sometimes it can seem like too much stress is endured for the low pay.
How much do live-in carers earn ?
When starting as a nurse in the nhs I agree with you that the pay is not that much, but get thru a ladder to obtain training and get into specialised area. Now I would say with more knowledge and hands on experience, I earn more than average(not disclosing). And nursing are currently in demand everywhere either a work from home or in a hospital setting. NHS is not the only place, there is also private hospitals that pay more aside from being in an agency. But all this takes time just like other careers, if you are an ITU/HDU or other special fields in nursing the pay is really not bad. Good content though, keep it up 👍🏻
She’s was off point regarding the nursing pay..
This really helps . I did health and social care in uk trying to cross to nursing I had offers in 4 unis last year but couldn't get student loan but I learnt NHS can sponsor . I don't know this process please can you hint me on that please?
I have leave to remain in uk but because I haven't got my indefinite I wasn't offer student loan . Thanks I'm advance
@@Adeyemiphunmie if you are already working in the NHS check your Trust’s offer for training-it’s all free. Also Speak to your line manager or senior nurses on what courses are on offer within your field. Grab those opportunities to expand your CPD (professional development), it will be a pathway for promotion/career growth. Examples of training/workshop - venepuncture and cannulation, continence care, neuroscience care, PDOC (prolonged disorder of consciousness) stoma care, cardiac, urology, management and leadership-these are just few to mention. Hope this helps🙂
@@graecieluv thanks very much this helps though I am not working with NHS yet but want to cross so I can have those opportunities. Really grateful for this.
@@Adeyemiphunmie Don’t be discouraged about the NHS payment. We always start at the bottom going up, and the current healthcare system needs a lot of nurses. The turnover and promotion if you are proactive are fast. 😊
The issue is that Nursing is easy to get into. Once you have your qualification you will 100% get a job. The other professions mentioned requires a lot of academic skills and could be very difficult to get your first job.
And money of nurses is hidden in overtime.
You are very correct🙌🏽
Very true. Overtime and extra shifts 🙌🏽
Not necessarily! Nursing is not easy to get into if you are going for your RN. Yes, you will get a job but it takes time especially if you don’t have experience. Most people that I came across who went for nursing did not find it easy as they all stated it requires a lot of studying.
@@IyaT-c5e I guess what Adebanjo meant is that getting a job after your nursing studies is easy. You misinterpreted what he/she implied. Let’s be honest, nurses are in high demand, hence the reason a lot of people now want to study nursing cos of the ease in getting a job. The program is very rigorous and demanding but if you are able to scale through, getting a job isn’t as tough as other professions.
Hello Opeyemi, like the quality of your video. However, I think you need to do more research on your topic. You have not been fair to health care service in the UK. Salary range for new entry for nurses is between £25,657 - £35,000. We also have different level and types in nursing field. There are nurses who are earning £60,000 per annum.
As for the Law professionals (Barristers and Solicitors) it all depends on the type of law - corporate law, family law, property law etc. There are lawyers in their entry level who earn £25,000 per annum. There are law graduates who are still looking for training but couldn't find any. Also, UK are only employing professionals from other countries into only hard to fill roles in the country which law, project management and others you mentioned are not part of it.
Great 👍 info
U r totally correct. She got it wrong with the lawyers's salary.
Great video. Another 'easy' profession to get into in the UK is CBT Therapy. The NHS will pay for you to complete the 9-month qualification. While you train you get paid £36,000 then once qualified, you start at Band 7 - £40,100. As a nurse, it would be very easy for you to get into. With a nursing qualification, you can also get onto the training...just make sure you have mental health work experience. As a CBT Therapist, you can make about £90,000 a year with agencies or private work.
There is a lot of information out there about CBT Therapy. Sometimes it's called High-Intensity Therapist.
Oh wow. Thank you for this. I have a sis in law who is recently divorced and is now a single mother with 2 young kids. She literally had to bear stop working while married so, now she’s looking to start a career (she’s almost 40). She has 2 degrees already but, not a lot of work experience. She was working for a few years (part time) for NHS though. Do you have any websites you can suggest for both the training/bursary and courses?
I am not quite surprise about the nurses cos most of my friends that graduated were a bit disappointed of their low pay and they knew is that stressful with minimal wage, some avre running away actually.
How about social workers,? Can you advise on that area.
As per all that you mentioned, project management sounds great for me but don't know what it requires and if your not into analysis, can one fit in.
Thank you sis💕
What about chefs
Can you combine cbt with nursing?
How would you get in to CBT if you’re not a nurse, lets say as a HCA?
Opeyemi, you are right, am a Security Officer and I earn 40.000 + a year (two jobs) as a security officer you can take as many shifts as you like, if you know what you want. All jobs pay if you're not Lazy.
Very true Maco. Like I tell people, if you are not lazy, you will earn well in the UK. Thanks for watching. I appreciate you 🙏
Good day, please I would like to know if they hire security officers from outside the country as well, thanks .
Wow.40k.that is good
Working 2 jobs long term is unhealthy. Many have gone that way.

I like this breakdown of alternative careers for the UK, yet each field definitely requires more than qualifications and experience but also a resourceful network of people.👌🏽
As a Solicitor in the UK, you made a lot of valid points but more can be explained in our sector. I stumbled on your video and subscribed to encourage your efforts. Good video. Keeip t up!
The average salary as Newly qualified Nurse (Band 5 at the bottom of the ladder) depends on your location. Fir Nurses who live and work in Greater London, they earn more than other locations. My trust is at the top of the list and the average is between over £1800 and £2000 for a starter and of course with the AFC, things progress. However, Nurses are still underpaid and over utilised. Well done for your content.
Well I am from Canada and work at a hospital and here nursing pays good. Registered nurse about 35-45 dollars an hour depending on experience. If you are a critical care nurse you can make $100,000 or more. Most of my friends that are nurses in the hospital go back to school to become clinical managers or professors to teach nursing and these pay good. After a little while of being a clinical manager you can because a director. They get prayed over $200,000. So nursing is a great starting point.
Well done Opeyemi, good job! However, career and financial success in the UK is not limited to corporate jobs alone. There are many professions that are very well paid more than nursing.
Even good caterers, makeup artists, plumbers, electricians earn decent money.
Try and do a bit more research to ensure you deliver a robust view. I am happy to assist you with this project.
Exactly I was gonna say that as well
A whole lot of people still wants to know how to makeup for different occasions
I am a makeupartist I see a lot of ladies do makeup wrongly
Hand skills earn decent money
To be a solicitor or barrister in UK with an accent isn't a walk in the park. People have had to go take classes to improve their accent to ensure they can work with certain firms etc.
Please educate them. She doesn't know how lucky she is to be a nurse from Nigeria. I'm a lawyer and live in the US. I have at least 7 classmates in the UK that are doing other stuff, you can pass the exams but you won't get the jobs. A girl that probably never earned up to £150 a month in Nigeria is saying £2,500 a month in the UK is peanuts, that's ingratitude
You are right. During our first lesson in Contract Law an English teacher told us if English was our second language we were going to find it hard to find jobs. Most of us called him a racist. Because of a variety accents, we were even finding it difficult to understand each other as we tried to justify that he was a racist. Years down the line during studies with no contracts, men doing cabbing and women in carework to supplement studies, we realised HE WAS RIGHT. We graduated with good grades, some did Legal Practice Course, I earn much more doing Live in care work than them. The UK Legal System is predominantly white at the top.
@@witneyhuston9050 Thank you for coming forth to educate these ones that are lucky but don't know it.
The legal profession in the UK is white dominated as it should be! We cannot come from our failed nations and take away the prestigious professions from the natives who made the country prosperous.
In Nigeria where I come from, the legal profession is dominated by blacks and we have made it a total mess to the extent that a nurse coming from Nigeria feels that she should be earning the same with lawyers. I believe that having run our countries down, we should be grateful for whatever positions they give to us in the white man's land and we should prove ourselves by making a success of whatever position is given to us
No, we don't support anything for you that isn't health related🤪 You are born for this💪💕

I don't know about outside London but newly qualified nurses in London earn £30 786.00 that is not including unsocial hours. Nursing is not a highly paid profession but it's the only career where every Tom, Dick and Harry can easily secure employment. Nurses have the advantage of earning more money by working bank shifts with agencies.
You are right about agency nurses earning more. I do agency on the side and it’s financially rewarding but one won’t make so much money working full time in the NHS alone.
@@OpeGodis . I work full time in NHS and part time privately as a specialty doctor and the money is good can't complain.
I don’t think people do nursing for the pay. They do nursing to secure a stay back in the U.K. easily.

Did I just hear project managers and business Analysts? Naaaa those are outdated, their relevance has declined over recent years due to the influence of Agile. So I'll put scrum master, product owner, product managers, agile coaches, release train engineers in the place of PM and BA
Nurses are not well paid but they can easily get job and get paid promptly as scheduled in western countries for the job done compared to Nigeria where some nurses live in agony in the hands of politicians who emptied treasuries leading to none payment of salaries.
Thanks for the info, you need to consider "foreign / accent issues" .How many foreigners are in those fields you just analized.?..Healthcare is always the best for most foreigners to survive in western countries.
Exactly exactly, Healthcare is where foreigners can fit in. Besides, as a common foreigner, how do you get in there? Good analysis, but its good to consider the circumstances first
I can't agree less
There are many professions in the UK that pays far in excess of £25K. Some of them are even less celebrated jobs. E.g. HGV Lorry drivers earn close to £60K per annum. Yes they do. Fire Fighters too do earn a good crust. But the issues are the same, high cost of living and unavoidable high taxes negates the perceived high numbers.
It's interesting l came across this video. Nurses pay is bad especially if you have a mortgage. By the time you pay your Council Tax, Water bill, electricity and rent privately or pay for a mortgage, the money is not worth it. I was born here and returned to the UK after earning a degree in Nigeria. Please do not go into nursing as you will regret it later if there is no passion for it. People die in the job cos they do extra hours and their body will wear out quickly. I have seen nurses changing their profession a few times. The money is not worth it if you are not called to be one. As a Christian, l will say seek God for what he wants you to do in Britain. All the best for all seeking to relocate.
There are specialise profession in nursing that their salary is up to £100k or more but you must upgrade to master degree so note that. It is hard to rise to position of project manager in uk when you don't have experience with good company even if you have qualifications.
Are you saying as an entry level nurse, you can make £100k? To earn £100k as a nurse in the UK, you will either be a director or do agency full time or work two jobs. Would you mind mentioning those specialities in nursing that pay £100k so I can switch my specialty? Thanks for watching.
I watched your video with the intention of learning a thing or two but right from the start of the video I got pissed with your sarcasm. Honestly, nursing is not just about the money, it's a call. Am sure you can never care passionately for an unknown person just because of the money involved, OK? So many professionals in nursing earn so much more than you mentioned. You can actually compare professions without being judgemental. You a nurse? Nahhhh you must be health care support worker
@@olayinkafunmilayo1378 infact I thought she wasn't a nurse until I went through the comments.I felt something off when I started watching the video, unfortunately I won't finish it.
@@olayinkafunmilayo1378 I like the bit about caring for people in your comment, that is seeing nursingas a call, yes I know and love that.
But I think what Ope is trying to say is that, for those coming in for the money, they can think twice and consider other carrier paths so they do not regret having based their decisions on popular opinion of money that may be false 💖
@@olayinkafunmilayo1378 exactly.. I got pissed off as well.. she lacks knowledge. She does not know what she’s saying. She does not know specialist nursing areas that earn over 100k . She’s either new to the UK or she’s a care worker. Also calling 25k chicken change is disrespectful ..

I don't like all this boring topic like how much can you earn. Listen, if you can't find joy in what you do, you earn nothing.
Thank you jare! Comparison is the thief of joy. So if a Nigerian studied nursing in Nigeria out of love for the profession, then she finds an opportunity to travel to the UK, she will get their and become unhappy because lawyers are earning more abi? Oya go and become lawyer or business analyst na! Mtschew!!!
It is important to be flexible when choosing your career path..Passion don’t always feed your financial plan.A side hustle can even pay more than your passion and even replace your current passion .
Only the wise people will understand my point. I don't have the energy to argue
Yaaaaassssss! You could do project/programme management in the UK Health Security Agency (formerly known as PHE). I’ve seen jobs there wanting people from a nursing background (£50-60k starting). Register at Civil Service Jobs and set up alerts. I’ve also seen similar roles in NHS (but, they wanted more PM qualifications). I would also recommend doing the APM PMQ (project management qualification). You can purchase their self-study guide then sit the exam. That will definitely help you to get your foot in the door. (I’m a chartered project professional working in a senior role. I interview for various roles at times so, I know what helps 😉😉😉)

Interesting yes of course many more professions earn more than nurses in the UK including brick layers road builders, plumbers electricians and other non professional and professional categories However the key issue for Africans in the UK is what professions will most likely hire Blacks and retain them in big numbers? Comes back to nursing care and health profession mainly Most Blacks in the UK even though qualified as lawyers project managers etc do not get opportunities in these higher paying jobs. Nursing however is nearly guaranteed and Blacks are expected to work in these professions. So really it's a matter of access. Racism denies many qualified Africans and Blacks access to higher paying professions outside nursing. Let's understand WHY many Choose nursing and I think it's not because the profession pays well. It's a well established fact that nurses in UK have been demanding higher wages. Many have quit the profession because of low wages or moved to countries such as the US where they earn more
Interesting perspective!
I love your in-depth analysis. Thanks for sharing your perspective🥰
@@OpeGodis welcome
Spot on ! you have captured the quintessence of why many Africans resort to Nursing. Most of the time, this decision is not by choice. I have a degree but had to reapply to study Nursing as i could not find work in my chosen field. For years, i have found myself going from small jobs to jobs and never managed to get a graduate job. Great for noticing that trend as well.
You just took the words from my mouth, you need to streamline it to top paying jobs for immigrants, jobs easily accessible to qualified black immigrants, also consider Work visa sponsorship, your list is for people that already have a settled status in the UK, I knw peeps that got good offers but immediately they declare their visa status they withdraw the offer.
Love your content 👌
My Father always tell us that It’s not how much you earn, it’s how much you save… bcoz I’ve worked with people in the past who were in a higher position than me but I always hear certain individuals spoke from time to time how they’ve got no money.

Teachers dont earn much unless they are having a Phd & work in a public university
Teachers starting salary in Uk is more that nurses starting salary. And each year teacher progresses to the next level of salary. At the end of 5 years,a teacher annual salary should be upto £40,000:00 plus

Please go and do your own research because this whole salary she is talking about is flawed. Yes people do earn that etc etc but at what entry level? They just don't finish Uni and earn that amount in ICT and the rest. With law its even worse as depending on what one chooses, if you have an accent you may find it difficult to be certified. A lot goes into all this. There are people who are just security personnel in international or big organisations who earn 40k plus depending on the shifts they also do. So this presentation unfortunately is very flawed and people need to do their own research too. That being said she has at least given some people ideas and something to think about. So kudos to her.

You are correct about nursing license giving one an easier platform to relocate legally to any western country.
I was not surprised with the salaries nurses earn so many professions pay more. You have added Investment Bankers they earn between €57,000 to €120,000. Great job and content. I just had to subscribe
Thank you
Well done ope, your content is detailed
I enjoyed this content and love your channel, just subscribed ☺️
Project/product management & business analysis/product ownership also come under the I.T field. Still a good content. Well-done!
Thank you
Business Analyst also can be chartered accountants
@@ritaphiri They're two different roles.
Including SM (Scrum Master), POs (Product Owners), QAs (Quality Assurance), SWs (Software Developers), UX & UI and quiet a number of them. I’m a Scrum Master and I work with all these people with titles I mentioned. Presently, America is pumping a lot into IT. So yes you are right there’s a lot of money in the IT sector.
@@ritaphiri So BA is a total different career from an accountant. BAs work closely with Stakeholders, POs, SMs, & SWDs. If a company is still practising waterfall then they tend to still have the traditional names called PMs but if the company transitioned into Agile, they are called BAs. They get all the requirements needed from the stakeholders and take it to the backend team for them to work on. If your team doesn’t have a BA, then It will be the job of your Product Owner to do all that. It’s kinda wide and in-depth. But this is just an overview of it. You might want to do more research. Hope I was able to help.
Am sorry but before you start thinking of running away from your home country because you,ve seen a video like this on RUclips, remember those amount are what we in Germany refer to as "Brutto" (Google the word), in Europe you pay for "EVERYTHING " (yes I wrote em in capital letters for a reason), don't be deceived by videos like this abeg.Nuff said!
25k is the average UK salary and is definitely not chicken change. Most jobs start from this and build up as you get more experience. Mental health nurses and specialist nurses get paid over 45K. Even a junior doctor starts off with about 26K
Thank you
I gree we nurses we don't get enough I thinking of changing my job thanks for the ideas
Hi good content however you need to do a proper research with the information you have to educate more about professions/job in UK.
Sorry just a clear opinion I feel this information may mislead people who are willing to come to UK or willing to switch over to nursing.
I am not in that field but I am have a friend who just qualified as a mental health nurse 1year ago and coming from a council officer background, she said that’s one of her best decision she has made.
Talking about lawyers your salary figures are not accurate ma, I know lawyers who don’t earn that salary figure, have you thought of pharmacists, Drs, consultants in medical field, surveyors, housing professionals and many more ,and some of this field that you have mentioned sis they are so easier said than done. Remember most of the salary figures are base on contract not a permanent role.
My honest opinion, well done and keep it up.
Well said, alot of misinformation in this video.
Love ur channel. You just got a subscriber. Pls what about mass communication courses like public relations and advertising? Is it in high demand in the UK?
Not too surprised anyway. What determines how much you earned in any field is the quality of the problem you solved or you are solving. But thank you this insight. It was quite educative.
It all depends on your shift with the NHS and your location.Some can take home £1800-£2000 after tax deduction.While nurses that work permanently with agencies earn more.Those professions you mentioned don’t have job opportunities like nursing,I know of two colleagues that are studied law first but now they are in nursing profession.Those salaries you mentioned are not for starters,as you progress in your study you can earn more in nursing.
I was waiting to hear about my profession - Actuarial Science (Actuaries)
Awww. Sorry I didn’t mention it. Can you enlighten me? What does it take to become one and how much do they earn?
Based on your information, I will consider studying Project Management in my journey for Master's degree in the UK. Thanks for the information
True, IT is very diverse and well paid. I'm a Scrum Master and I enjoy working on different projects in a fun environment 👌.
Hi Ola, glad to know you enjoy what you do. Cheers!
Same as my Niece, she earns good money
How does one get into project management? What certifications would you recommend?
@@eneoni3267 PMP I, PMP II. There are a lot of them. Do your research yourself and see which is best for you. All the best
I’m also a Scrum Master and yea they pay very good. 6figures actually here in the US
Nice video, this made me laugh as a software developer lol. coding, programming and software developer is same thing. this video is on point and very informative.. many thanks
I am a BA and used to be a chartered accountant .I never liked health care so I knew I wasn’t going to be looking even if they pay well..I am doing a freelance on content writing and it’s very linked to my role as a BA working with dev team to build apps and website ..So my content writing is coming useful..It is good to unlock what God has deposited in you..people should be flexible and not be rigid minded ..Thumbs up Ope
I love your vibes sis, awesome video...my background career is in Education. Keep up the great work, happy new year. ❤🎉
Happy new year Rese. Thank you for always watching.🥰🥰
Hi fellow Educator ☺
Hey beautiful queen @nwama 🙌 good to hear your also from the education space 😍
@@OpeGodis welcome love your video god bless your work sis x
Are you in the UK?
Waoow I'm a nurse and that's same belief here in Canada. Great video. Thank u for sharing. Great tips
I am in Education. It’s not bad at all, and easy to get. Some Head- teacher are on 7 figure salary. I see myself doing project management or content creation as a side hustle
Good to know. Please do mind sharing with me on the channel how people can get into teaching in the UK?
You can help with how to get into education .
Please can we links up dear
@@OpeGodis of course. If you do have a degrees, you will need to do a PGSC OR Level 5 Diploma in Education & Training. I did Level 5 course. They both include compulsory teaching practice . When you finish just apply for job on “indeed” or any any agencies
@@user-bt7uy9dg3g no problem. Pls read the reply I gave to Opeyemi. Any questions, pls ask
Very educative, thinking of becoming a nurse but now that I watched this video I better stay in my accounting field. New subscriber
i don't blame you, please stay where you are and be the best in it!
@@salomemeable thanks
Accounting is very lucrative in the UK, even with your ICAN and work experience , especially if you are in the big 4 in Nigeria, you can easily relocate and get a job in big 4 accounting/audit in the UK. If you now add certification like CISA you are hot cake. If you now enter Canada ehn..moneeeeyyy... There is money in nursing as a registered nurse and you float your care agency in the UK, that s the reall money. All the best in your choice
Happy New Year.
Thanks for sharing.
More blessings.
Happy new year🙌🏽
First time watching, it’s a great job dear
What about cleaners over there ?
Wow! Educative video, I love content creating and IT.
Glad to know. Thanks for watching.
It was nice knowing this and sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed watching🥰
Thanks for the info… on a different note; you actually have a beautiful glowing skin! Can you please advise what you use to achieve that look? By the way; I use my little sons name here but im a lady..
A great video. Quite informative. Will be more with you
Wow...thanks for this wonderful information, New Subscribe ❤
Thanks for subscribing🙏
Opeyemi Darling. Longest Time. I enjoyed the video.
I know FLT drivers and warehouse operatives that earn more than £50k per annum in the UK. Some are school dropouts. It's really amazing.
Thank you sister for this insight
Thanks for sharing this is so useful
Certified nursing assistant earn more in New York than entering level nurses in the uk.
Unfortunately, nurses aren’t well paid in the UK. I tell people, if you want to make money as a nurse, go to America. UK is better for work life balance not for becoming wealthy. Thanks for your comment Josset.
By the way, are you a RN or CNA in America?
The NMC requires student nurses to complete 2300 hours of clinical placement while training (NMC, 2019), however it is up to the individual universities to decide how this should be included. I don't know why the UK nurses are paid far less than other industrialised advanced countries. Uk is the 5th largest economy in the world from 2021 research study.
The possibility the following countries I going to mention pay far more than the UK is so annoying and alarming. The UK government needs to increase the salary of UK nurses to at least £35,000 to £38,000 per year.
Nurse Salary per country
1. Luxembourg $91,000
2.USA $73,000
A lot of nurses prefer going to America where they will earn a lot. UK government needs to do something about the pay-scale for nurses. It’s so sad.
I saw you at jubilee parish, lol I wasn’t so sure cause you were on wig 😊 if you notice someone looking at you today that me 😁 congrats on your baby , you look more young though 😁
No way!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Please walk up to me next time ooooo. I love meeting people. See you in church next week❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nursing in the Uk is grossly underpaid. Pathetic really.
I feel like people under estimate how much Retail Managers earn, especially the ones that run the flag ship stores….. I know of people that earn 40-80k even more in retail management… but not sure we want to start that topic of conversation. Lol
Kind of commend you Oppy but what happens to other professionals Doctors, Architect Pilots stock exchange. , well keep it up. Bring up more. The world needs to hear this
Madam please does that mean the aforementioned careers earn more than doctors and/surgeons?
I like the sweater. Where did you buy it from ?
I got this one from a charity store two years ago.
I think migrants chose nursing not because it pays a lot but because you could earn money while still in training and also you don't struggle to find a job after qualifying.For me nursing was a stepping stone then studied Public health, it pays better and it's less hectic
When you are health you think nurses are in the field to make money until when you need them its very important to have nurses.
Thanks Oyeyemi for open this up, but please elaborate on expenses in UK
Really £25k is meager do you want to compare nursing to law, civil engineering, architect or doctor. How much do you think a graduate of any discipline earns....to me people who are over paid are MP's
NHS is above 27,000 and not 25k. Also most nurses add agency jobs or just agency and earn up to 6k -8k monthly.
your hair looks beautiful happy new year 💕🤗
Thank you for watching. Happy new year🎉🎉
True, this Sister is beautiful. Real hair, healthy skin and fantastic dentition.
Agency nursing is where the money is at!
Yes o
Very true. I do agency part time and I make a lot from it. I can’t wait to go full time agency in a couple of years to come.
When pandemic show you will know that egency is not the best oo they can lose job
Good video but please cut out the repetitive and irritating use of "like", "like". Also, it would have been useful for you to balance what you've presented with the cost of living in the UK so that viewers in NGR who might get over-excited with the salary figures and think it's all a bed of roses can put it into perspective. The cost of living in the UK; especially in city centres is humongous. Most of the people in these jobs and with so called "high" salaries are in a rate race and can't save any money from their so called high salaries salaries due to the high cost of living and taxation.
You didn't even mention professions like medicine, pharmacy etc or it because you are not in the field or what?
They work alot too, cos when others will bé at home with their familles, thé project manager will be at thé office or site, this people work so hard,anything that happends in thé company, they hold thèm responsable,l in construction Companies. It is very difficult,cos every thing about thé contract they see to that, going to thé site, Workshop , caterpillar, drivers ete even they Travel alot. All those things help thèm to collect alot of Money, their benefir.
Nurses should not complain when there are other professional who put themselves at risk for Queen and country and get paid less than them..SAS soldiers' pay ranges from less than £25,000 a year to around £80,000, depending on their skills and rank. This compares with a basic £13,000 for privates in other regiments. Now nurses do you want to join the military????
What about construction sector?
You didn't touch same sectors, e.g
Truck drivers..
I will make a video relating to construction very soon. I will be interviewing someone in that field soon.
@@OpeGodis lovely
Health workers who earn more are ones that do locum. You are talking about salary earners. So it depends how you want to work and earn your money.
I agree with you Opel because I live in Sweden to get jobb in UK the pay was so low compared to my monthly salary (* 2,5 ) compared to the UK
