He added:

"As we speak I dont think my colleague nurses with whom I started working with can boast of buying a car or building a house as a result of the work they do.

Having been in the USA for one year, Prince said he plans to work as a nurse but first wants to sort certain things out.

"For now, I work as a shop assistant and also do home care on the side, I want to get everything right and then start working as a nurse becuase I am really passionate about it.”
