Lady Hilariously Laments New Job in UK After Leaving Oil and Gas Career in Home Country

• A lady who relocated to the United Kingdom has explained how she is coping with her new occupation abroad
• She shared that she previously worked in an oil and gas company back home before she moved overseas
• In a light-hearted tone, she lamented leaving a good job only to settle for a less desirable career in the UK

A lady, known on TikTok as @vboss13, recently shared a humorous take on her experience adjusting to life abroad.

In her viral video, she recounted how she left a prestigious oil and gas job to relocate to the United Kingdom, only to work as a carer.

Her qualifications and previous job experience didn't immediately translate into equivalent roles in the British job market.

Like many immigrants, she faced the practical need to find work quickly to sustain herself in a high-cost environment.

This led her to take up caregiving, a demanding but accessible job that often provides immigrants with a starting point in the UK.

Her playful complaint reflected both the challenges and the sacrifices many immigrants face when starting over in a new country.

Layered over her video were the words, 'How did I resign from an oil and gas company in Naija to come be a carer in the UK?'

The TikTok video she posted is included below:

Ghanaian teacher works as a carer abroad

YEN.com.gh also previously reported that a man who worked as a teacher in Ghana changed jobs after relocating to the UK.

Piesie said he was tired of the GH¢1700 monthly salary he earned back home and decided to relocate and work as a carer.

The former teacher said he had not regretted switching careers since he could now meet his needs and those of his family.

“I haven’t regretted changing careers. I just take it as part of the process. I got tired of all the combinations of several jobs I was doing in Ghana to survive. I kept thinking about how I would start a family with a GH¢1700 monthly salary."
