According to the story, which was shared by @growithkashrox, the lady in question left her job in Nigeria and moved to the UK.
According to the story, when she was in Nigeria, she earned a monthly salary of N500,000.
She was comfortable and could take care of her needs, and she also had some change to save after expenses.
But to her, she needed to move abroad to seek greener pastures. However, she got to the UK and things didn't work out as planned.
The story noted that the lady has been searching for a good job since her arrival but all she could get were menial jobs.
"I left my good-paying job in Nigeria to migrate to the UK on a study visa. I was earning N500k monthly, had my own place, no stress, no debt. I wasn't rich but I was comfortable. I could afford little luxuries, take care of my family and still save something.
"I came here thinking things would fall into place quickly, you know the way people post on Instagram that they have gotten new job in two weeks, like they are living soft life, that's what I thought. But since I landed, it's been one referal after another. But guese what guys, all of them has been care jobs. That's the only thing people send me.
"Care work, support worker, domestic nanny care, every single thing is about personal care. Honestly, I can't do it. It's not even about pride. I just know I will break down mentally and emotionally. I wasn't built for that kind of work.
"I didn't come here to lose myself, honestly. I have applied for over a hundred jobs in other sectors which includes admin, customer service, and several jobs, like everything I can do that doesn't involve care, but still nothing.
"Some don't respond, others say I don't have UK experience. Like I'm really drained, my savings are almost gone. I cry silently almost every night."

Reactions as lady regrets travelling abroad
@temmy_ACCA said:
"I never did care job and I got a cooperate job immediately I finished my masters. You don’t have to do the care. I also made a promise to myself never to do the care job not because I am better than those doing it but because I know I don’t have the mental mind for it. I did factory work, kitchen job, teaching assistant. It doesn’t have to be a care job. Now I am working as an accountant."
@vace_mamah said:
"Nobody travels out and has everything figured out almost immediately. She needs to relax. A step at a time and eventually she'll be glad that she didn't allow her struggling years get the better part of her. Traveling back to Nigeria is not the best decision in my own opinion."

"I reckon you need to change your current location in UK. I meant to say that if you can get a place to rent at Guildford town center in Surrey County, England. You will surely get a job within two weeks. Location really matter a lot."
