  • When Patrick Mutoro left Kenya for America through a green card. He knew he was going to become a celebrated Maths and Physics teacher just like he was here in Kenya.
    But this man who taught the likes of Maina Kageni had no idea what was awaiting him.
    Here is Lynn Ngugi with today's episode of Tuko Talks.

      Nice interview but to me it's one sided. Not everyone goes through the same as him. Regardless the work you doing anyway, it's the Tenacity that matters. There are people that studied here and works in offices and only makes $40k per year. Well, There are CNAs that made over $100k last year and there are RNs that didn't make that, there are people that came here less than 5yrs and are doing so so well RN, BSN even truckers netting over 150k yearly, I have friends in various states and some makes $5k weekly as a travel nurse for the last 2yrs. I have trucker friends that gross that range weekly also. It's good to talk from your own perspective and not general . Your association can determine your allocation. May God bless our hustles.

      Good for you brother. So many ways to make it in the USA. Some guys don't put an effort to make it. they tend to follow the path of least resistance. Then years later they blame their failures on the USA system. There is a good reason why people migrate here. The land of opportunity. While it is true a good education can take you places, having the mind to venture and be uncomfortable can land you places.

      When typewriters were developed over a hundred years ago, the qwerty keyboard was developed to slow down the typing speed. They were put in this arrangement so the keys would not run into each other from typing so fast. Today it is hard to find a typewriter, and when you do they won't have the typebars which can collide with each other.

    I came to America with my husband and two children. I had baby number 3 a few years after we arrived. My husband and I worked at K-mart. We could hardly survive. My children were all under 5 years old. I decided to go to school. It took me 9 yrs to get an associate degree in nursing…. Nor joke. My husband died 5 yrs ago but the children and I did not struggle. Thank God for spending 9 yrs to get an associate degree or else it would have been difficult for me to survive in America.

    I guess its different for everyone. I came here as a nanny, recently sponsored my child and I went to school. I only have one job and we are not struggling. We have everything we need without straining. I learnt early not to live a flashy life and reduced the monies I was giving out to people back home ( the sky will not fall because you don't give them money). I was foolish before, giving hata 150k for free. I occasionally give max 2k and send my mom a reasonable monthly stipend. That's my survival formula. I decided long ago that I am not going to kill myself with work not having time for my child to finance people's lifestyles.

Do whatever it takes to succeed but don't look back. Terrible mistake. Avoid negative people like the plague. They will only pull you down. If you were a success in Kenya, You will be a success again overseas. If you were a failure in Kenya even going overseas cannot change that. Use the same plan you used to succeed in Kenya to succeed overseas. I hear your story brother. You have come from far and you have the grit to make it again and claim your position at a better level.

      Can I tell you something. Do not think a job as working for someone. Try to think of being your own boss. Because jobs are scarce everywhere in the world. And when you do a course, look at a career which is in demand so no matter what you will always have a job. If you can, think of starting your own business because there are no jobs. You will stack there waiting for a job. Start by selling something. Example I can give you is of a man in zimbabwe. He used to order vegetables and fruits and sell them in a wheelbarrow. Now he owns a huge stall in the area and you will find everything there. But he started with a wheelbarrow to the farmers delivering to his business. So do something while you are applying for your dream job

      This I'm telling you is the same I tell my children. My last born is in university completing his course this month. Delayed a bit by the pandemic but he is there now. Working in as a porter at a hospital so he can be able to sponsor for his needs and saving for his business after university. So do anything even cleaning in the streets. Here the jobs people look down upon in Africa are the ones paying for everything including sending money to relatives in Africa. And never develop a habit of relying on other people especially in diaspora. They have their own families they are looking who needs everything especially fees if it's America. If I give you £100 that means my children have been deprived of something so I can send it to you. And people in africa have the attendance for exaggerating their problems. They use emotions to get what they want. I hope you listen to this

Anyone planning to travel abroad speak to people and research before making the journey here.
