    Having a skill definitely helps... there was this guy from India he was really good at playing a musical instrument. While studying abroad his side hustle was to tutor kids interested in playing that instrument. Usually only wealthy Indian families well settled would hire him. He always stayed back to have a chat with parents and offered to live performances at parties... he was able to leverage his skills to make connections... and went on to create multiple start up..

    I came ro UK in 2021. I worked in restaurants chain for 4 months and then in security for the rest of 7 months. I always preferred to build connection with Harry rather than Hamza.
    I did my best to explore and enhance my learning. Most of my other friends especially from Punjab, seemed like they just cane to UK, just to work in security and stick with that for the rest of life. For time being, it’s ok to work and survive, but to stick with than even if having everything, shows whats your mentality is.
    Even I used to work in security, very tough times, but always made sure I am continuously learning and engaging with Paul and Lucia as well. Those small engagements and exploration made me able to get my decent job in my respective field in just two weeks after submission of my dissertation. I wish everyone best. But yes, Indians especially South Indians are far far better and smarter than Pakistanis.

    Exactly, most of the students stuck themselves in such jobs they don't really explore. I would like to add another point that mostly students forget their main purpose of going there which is study I believe they should become expert in their particular field rather than doing what other millions of people are doing.I know sometimes you have to do such jobs as well but students should not do that permanently.

    7:40 I completely agree. I got a placement year at University of Liverpool after my second year mechanical engineering. I was appointed as a research assistant where I conducted a study on contact lens materials which helped us model the behavior of soft contact lenses on the human eye. This placement year was not paid but the experience I got from working there was invaluable. I got to publish 2 peer-reviewed research papers (I authored one and was a co-author for the second) before I had even started my final year. After that, I applied for a job at one of UK's leading contact lens manufacturers, got selected because of my research work and experience in the industry and started my job as a contact lens design engineer 4 months before my graduation. I can't emphasize enough on the importance of work experience in the industry. My CEO only asked about the progress of my degree for around 5 minutes out of the 2 hour interview where he questioned my understanding of the industry. Almost 2 years later, I am taking a lead role in the R&D department and I hope to bring a few of our technologies and/or production to Pakistan in the future. I always tell my fellow desi friends to focus on getting industrial experience especially if they're from STEM fields, you can throw away your degree but no one can take away the wealth of practical experience you get when you actually get your hands dirty and apply what you learn in classroom to practical life. Khair bohot cassette chal gayi, this is just my personal experience I'd like to share if it can help anyone.

    In May, my first study permit application was refused. I was so disappointed and disheartened that I had no idea how to absorb that rejection. I was getting flashbacks in my dreams as depression kicked in. One day I was scrolling through my feed in the early morning (3-4am) when Junaid Bhai's video regarding comparison between UAE (Yahan se jaanay ka ek din mukarrar hai) and Western Countries popped up. That video changed my mindset and I started preparing my application again a that very point in time and reapplied on the same day in a single sitting after spending hours in defending and responding to the objections of the Visa Officer. Five months passed by and I almost forgot about my application. On one morning I received request for medical leading to approval of my Study permit. I am flying to Canada in December now and here comes another super tip video. Sometimes, it takes one video that can change one's mindset. Thank you 🙏❤

    I completely agree with you that these jobs won't lead to better future opportunities. I always advise incoming students to learn the language of the country, focus on their studies, and socialize with foreigners instead of limiting themselves to only Desis in order to learn more and expand their horizons. You also have a great opportunity to explore the world, so don't hesitate to travel!

    Agreed! I am from Pakistan, currently living in Belgium. Every other Pakistani student here is working in Takeaway, Deliveroo or Uber eats. They see short term gains of it, by converting per hour wage to PKR and limit their career to these jobs. However they dont realise that there is no progress in these jobs, no matter how much experience you have, you want be progressing monetarily, rather they should focus on their studies at first place, try and graduate on time, which most dont! and get a job to progress in career.

      @@ehsanhaseeb there is no hard and fast rule in life. Focus on what you think will work best for you. As far as skilled are concerned I would say “IT” has a promising future. So see if that aligns with your career aspirations. But most importantly lay down a plan for yourself and plan for things ahead. Manifest to yourself where you want to see yourself? Work towards it and don’t let yourself be pushed in a comfort zone. Apni soch esi rakho ke part time kaam tumhy kabhi full time career na lagy. Not against it, do it of course it’s necessary, but don’t commit to it. Do what can help you transcend. CAREER PLANNING IS IMPORTANT!! Most Pakistani brothers lack it.

    As a former international student i have 3 advices:
    1. Dont take up the liability of a car if you live near the campus (walkable or public transport). People buy a car and to pay off installment they have to work more hours.
    2. Try to find a job from your talent or something related to your field, cuz then you will have real experience before graduating.
    3. Never forget your goal. Every week reflect if your on track to what you want to become. It is ok to take loan and study instead of work hourly and sacrifice your crucial study time. I used to work part time during afternoon and i missed important career fairs and other opportunities.

    you are spot on with the problems that you mentioned as an International student in Australia I prefer doing a job rather than Uber and I am being mocked for not doing Uber as it pays way more than jobs. 2nd biggest problem of Pakistani people is not studying all at Universities. Even people from other countries don't want to be in the group with Pakistanis as they know we don't study and we will eventually pull their score down in a group task.

    Being an international student myself I have observed those Indians or Pakistani students who lack verbal english confidence prefer these security or driving jobs as the customer facing roles like in retail require frequent communication in english, my suggestion would be get in get exposure and with time you will start to pick accents and your confidence and pronunciation of spoken english will improve but if you remain shut in a shell there is little chance of improving yourself. Verbal aspect also helps you in a job interview as well so there is that benefit associated with working in retail or customer facing roles for students.

    As an Indian, I have come across 3 types of Pakistani students:
    1) Hard working students who come to study and do better. They are aware of their parents sacrifices and are ready to get educated and get good job. They make upto 10 %to 20 %.
    2) Rich kids who come to study to become more attractive to future partners. They have money but need a degree stamp to get married to good family. These are around 40% to 50%.
    3) These kids come to get educated but then get attracted to and part of Ummah things. All of a sudden they are worried of every Muslim on this earth. These are usually a little religious to begin with. These start good and by the time 1 st semester ends, their circles are totally different. They make up to 50 % to 60%.

    What I learned is that you align yourself with whatever career path you take. For example, if you want to be in Healthcare, then take a job in a hospital, even if it's as a cleaner. This way, you can write experience on your resume relating healthcare, another Perk of doing this you will find opportunities to apply for higher position jobs in the company which mostly fill from within there department. Always keep your eyes out for that and network with people.

    Coming from a person who came as an F1 student in USA in 1992. (I can only say about USA ) So few facts:
    1- Foreign students here don’t have much of a choice of work. Legally they can work only 20 hrs on campus. When they are working off campus which is not allowed; Uber, cab driving ect are the only few things they can do (illegally) with your F1 visa status.
    2- international student with odd jobs and study will not have time get engaged in extra campus activities. Fact is if they can just keep the grades up that would be enough. As international they have to take 18 credits per semester to keep their F1 status and to save money.
    3- Lastly Indians do help Indians and Pakistanis don’t (why!!’ Don’t ask me) this is a fact.

    Sir, I would like to add an experience of mine with a Pakistani international student in the UK. He was my housemate, working part-time [as security staff] at two stores, and he was getting some employee benefits in terms of a 25% additional discount on all aspects of purchases from their stores, which was a multi-city chain stores like M&S. He bragged about this benefit to me once. I ignored.
    After a week or so, he shared that he was fired from both stores, citing the reason that he had shared his employee discount codes [including employee ID and password] with his Pakisthani friends living in Galsgow, where the discount was used.
    The store manager got to know this and fired him. I felt sad for him.
    Please note: this is just one experience of mine, and I am 100% sure there are many bright Pakistani international students with high ethical values.

    That's typical desi mindset. Also, it is important to chose university wisely. I had 3 admit in US, Georgia Tech, Cornell and Texas A&M. First 2 were like in top 10 for engineering and A&M was like 15th. I chose A&M as there was good chance of finding paid research there.
    Reached there and within 4 weeks found GRA that gave 100% tuition scholarship+ monthly stipend.
    Although I can never get US green card as there is decades of wait for people born in India due to US green card quota, but still greatful for providing excellent education and cutting edge research jobs.

    Good points, I will add one more. When I was coming to US from India ~ 20 years ago, students in tech areas from low opportunity economies like ours had a tendency to pass on pursuing areas that were interesting to them thinking " this will be too difficult or advanced for me". Always the wrong decision. When you understand the level of opportunities and the demand for skills in various technology areas in an economy like the US, you realize there is next to zero chance of not succeeding if you put in the work and make the right decisions. If you find something interesting, DO NOT pass up based on your perception of difficulty and opportunity.

    I have studied in Australia and now I’m studying in the UK. I agree with you 100%. I have noticed these things as well and i often advise the same things to my friends. However, I have done uber driving in Australia and although I don’t recommend that you do it full time, i think that doing uber part time is a great way to boost your communication skills and confidence. It’s true that some people don’t want to talk, but most people do. When i was doing uber in Australia i had discussions with people from different professions (Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants, Engineers, Mine workers, business people, actors, musicians, Australian army soldiers, etc). Talking to them gave me deeper understanding into different professions. So i do recommend that you do uber but not full time.

    In the U.S., international students can't work off campus. I have seen some int students work for cash at restaurants. However ICE has gotten strict and will gladly deport you. However, American universities usually have good research and teaching opportunities and they give tuition waiver, which makes finances manageable on our own w/o asking parents for money.
    On a separate note, my university in America offered professional development courses and we all had to learn how to market ourselves.

      @starsandbeyond8947 if you are a med student, the Association of Pakistani Physicians of North America APPNA is a good place to get tips and advice from. Medical students/doctors have a different path and visa status than a traditional international student. As for ages of international students, it has varied from early 20s to mid-40s. So it depends on one's individual situation.

    You’re absolutely right. I've been in Canada since April. 90% of the students are doing Uber, Doordash, and security, and at the end, they all got stuck in a never-ending cycle. The only solution to this is to think long-term and avoid buying liabilities. One thing I have noticed is that many students start buying liabilities, such as cars, on finance. In my opinion, first make assets in 2-3 years, then buy liabilities with cash.

    I am *CANADIAN of Indian heritage* and this is an honest suggestion to Pakistani students (caution: it may hurt)
    You MUST never forget that *religion is a VERY PRIVATE matter* here in the West, people get very uncomfortable when your religiosity is so _in their face_
    No one minds hijab or burqa, or wants you to leave Islam ... just *don't expect the West to have same importance to religion as you have*

    Junaid Bhai: Very good vlog. I am from India and I have many Pakistani friends. They are funny articulate and can go toe to toe with many of our peers. But i found most of them are from Karachi. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Many of the Indian students who come here to study actually work in Indian restaurants which takes care of their food and money. They work for a few days a week and then go back to studying during the other days. I also see a ghetto mentality among Indian students too. They hang out with Indians only and they don't come out of their shell. There is an inherent advantage for Indian students that come to USA. Most of them if not all have at least one or two family members that have settled in here for long term and can seek help/advice. This is an advantage I see compared to others. Going abroad to study is to spread your horizons. By sticking together to known set of people or with one specific identity, be it is religion or country or language is detrimental to your own cause.

    I don’t think this video was needed. It’s a privileged advice because the premise of the video is based on the idea that students chose to be these jobs.
    Students don’t do these jobs because they plan on them or desire to do them. It’s because these are the ones that are the most readily available. Unless you have actually applied in the job market in the west, you don’t really realize that these are not easy opportunities. Including, just randomly getting retail jobs. While I don’t think the advice came from a bad place but I don’t think anyone who hasn’t actually lived that experience should be recommending these.
    For a lot of kids, especially the middle class ones they can’t wait for good opportunities, they need urgent money desperately to survive. Once they do these jobs, it’s very difficult to get out of them because they are usually very draining.
    This eventually becomes a toxic cycle. Some of them are lucky to get through. By either being smart, patient and lucky (and privilege helps with those) and those that don’t.
    No singular advise can be or is sufficient. It’s hard being an immigrant and especially a middle class one trying to survive.

I am in the UK at University of Hertfordshire and literally I have not found any job yet as I arrived on 11th Oct but yeah many people offered me to share their accounts of Uber and I rejected to do such jobs because firstly these jobs are illegal for students as these jobs fall under self employment.
    Being a student of LLB I know how strict Home office has become after their hostile environment approach towards immigrants and I have seen people picked up by the authorities to deport them just because of doing such jobs which are illegal for students.

    The point u raised about Pakistanis not coexisting when abroad is so true. I witnessed this when i was a student in the UAE. The Pakistani students weren’t interacting with the people of other faith and obviously the other nationalities. They just used to stay in their own Punjabi or Pashtun companies talking in their own respective mother tongue languages. But it was a completely different story when i saw the Indian students or the Srilankan and Bengali students. They used to talk to Arab students, Egyptian students, Iranian students and so on many other ethnicities. I think this problem is originating from our own houses as our upbringing is the problem, most Pakistani parents disallow their kids from interacting with people of other faith as they are in a constant fear of their child reverting to the other faith but thats clearly not true.
    Upbringing is the Key issue in my opinion.
    What do you think??

    Pakistani students need to understand that education should not be only for getting a job. Should try to improve interpersonal skills which includes communication as well. Should go for higher studies as much as they can. Higher Education will lead to the high class people(intellectually), be friend with them and you would have no problems in getting jobs. It would also enhance the intelligence and intellect, and eventually help to become a better human being.

    I graduated in 2020 as Software Engineer and so many of my class fellows went to UK for studies and whenever I ask them they used to say that initially it would cost this much and then we will do odd jobs to phr bus paisa hi paisa ho ga and when I used to ask k what about education to the typical reply was k wo log kar detay ha for a price. Now I never wanted to do that, I wanted to get out of Pakistan but not on education where I won't be able to do my masters properly and I kept on working on my skills and eventually 2 months ago I got a job as Senior Software Engineer in Berlin with above average pay and a healthy environment and all of my class fellows are still doing Odd jobs. Furthermore I didn't have to pay a single penny for bank statement or anything like that. This mentality has to change a bit k we need to do masters to get out of country and we'll do jobs there and we'll be rich. It's not like that it's really bad professionally and mentally. Go for masters, do your masters properly yes you will need to do Odd jobs during your master and do that because it's required but it should not be on the expense of studies. Also grow yourself, do unpaid internship, like javaid said to publish papers and so on.

    At the end of the day we all need to pay our bills so we need to work somewhere, but these low skilled jobs must be a temporary solution while acquiring other skills and finding another job.
