I feel sorry for this guy, the somali news outlets should be ashamed of themselves for posting something they didn't confirm. This just tells you, don't upload a video of yourself on youtube that can be misconstrued.

Nowadays, a bachelor's degree is viewed like a high school diploma. Since thousands of students graduate annually with BA or Bsc. But, I disagree that a bachelor's degree is not enough for an entry level position. Although that might hold true in some fields. When someone with a master's degrer is overqualified for a position. It is clearly due to their extensive education and expectation to be promoted in a short time frame. I have already pointed out if they lack an experience in their field, that would be a setback as well.

That girl makes some good points. I personally believe of one is pursuing grad school. They should have an entry job in that field while they are still in undergrad/grad school. Master's degree will take you from an entry job to a higher position. Otherwise if you attained master's degree without anyprevious experience you will be overqualified for an entry job. As far as back home is concerned. One needs to go back home with a skill to make a difference.

Be careful what you study. Going to grad school isn't always worth the time, effort and money. MBAs: A dime a dozen? Courtesy: Aaron FraserName: Aaron Fraser, 42 Place: Virgin Islands I once looked at the MBA as the crème de la crème of business degrees, but now I realize I'm a dime a dozen. I have an MBA in media management from Metropolitan College of New York and a master's in organizational leadership from Mercy College. I am in debt to the tune of $120,000, and for me, it just wasn't worth it. After graduating, I applied for jobs in New York for at least a year. In interviews, I was either overqualified, or high risk. I am high risk, so I'm told, because I have multiple degrees, which means it's more likely that I would pursue other means of employment if I am offered a higher salary. I'm 42 years old, and I'm competing with 25-year-olds who have MBAs from Harvard. There are so many young people with MBAs from exclusive schools, it's very difficult for somebody like me to compete. Employers don't expect middle aged people to be innovators. My master's is a joke Courtesy: Jen SmialekName: Jen Smialek, 31 Place: Boston, Mass. I work in such a completely different industry, it's a joke amongst co-workers that I have a master's in education. I completed that degree -- which was my second master's -- in 2010, and taught for a year in Boston. It was the hardest work I've ever done, but I loved it. A year later, it was first in, first out in terms of layoffs. I didn't have any seniority and I was unfortunately laid off. I couldn't find another teaching job, so I returned to marketing. I had about $26,000 in student debt from that master's, and I've since paid off most of it (I completed my first master's for less than $500). If I could go back, I wouldn't earn the education degree again. It was a good personal enrichment activity, but for someone like me who does Internet marketing, my career would benefit more from an MBA. I work 3 part-time jobs Courtesy: Nick HintzName: Nick Hintz, 28 Place: Kansas City, Mo. When I graduated from my undergraduate program in 2008, I had a bachelor's degree in psychology, which was too general to get me a job. I wanted to go into business, so I decided to earn a master's degree in human resources at the University of Minnesota. At the time, it was rated as the number two HR school in the nation, and it cost a lot to go there. I took out $120,000 in student loans. The economy was unraveling at the time, but I hoped that over a couple years, the job market would improve. Instead, things got worst. I graduated in 2010 at the bottom of the U.S. job market. At the time, only about half our class found jobs. Now it's been more than two years, and I'm competing against fresh grads for entry-level positions and leadership training programs. A career counselor told me I missed the boat on getting a solid return on investment for my master's. I have three part-time jobs. I am an unpaid volunteer in a local hospital's HR department, I'm a content manager for a video game website, and I clean typewriters... yes, typewriters. I'm stuck with a large amount of debt, I have this fancy master's no one cares about, and I can't get the experience I need. I'm really at a loss of what to do. My master's wasn't worth the debt Courtesy: Daniel SnyderName: Daniel Snyder, 38 Place: Chicago, Ill. I've always been in tune with other people's emotions, so I studied psychology, hoping to be a clinician or a therapist. I earned a bachelor's and then master's degree in clinical psychology, but at the end of my final internship, I became ill and was hospitalized for a few days. I still graduated from the program, but because I had not finished my internship, I was unable to get a license to practice as a psychologist. I was told I could return in a year to re-start the internship process. In the meantime, I hoped I could still get a job, applying the degree to other fields that don't require a license. I sent out more than 300 applications. It's been almost a year and I have not been able to apply my degree to any jobs in human resources, psychology consultation or even restaurant management. I am just starting school again, now for a master's degree in human resources. I've been living off credit cards essentially, acquiring about $25,000 in debt. And that's in addition to the $60,000 in student loans I acquired in grad school. I had to sell my car. It got so bad that some points, my phone or power would be shut off. Not only was my first master's not worth the debt, it wasn't worth the emotional journey of going through a program that requires such introspection and self reflection. If I had to do this all over again, I probably would have just gotten an HR degree instead of a social science degree. I want to use my degree Courtesy: Mary LeMayName: Mary LeMay, 47 Place: Stevens Point, Wisc. After working 18 years in financial counseling, I went back to school in my 40s to earn a master's degree in community counseling. I had always aspired to be a school counselor, but when I started the program, I was informed there were very few job openings in schools. I chose community counseling instead, because I was told it was a larger umbrella with more opportunities. After graduating in May 2010, I knew that most counselor positions would require certification as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor). In Wisconsin, that would entail an additional two years and 3,000 hours working under the direction of someone in the field. I didn't know how difficult it would be to obtain that certification. I've been looking for those positions, but it seems there are so few job opportunities for someone to become a counselor-in-training. Very few employers are willing to supervise you. Why do graduate schools keep churning out counselors when there are so few jobs or opportunities for certification? I funded my masters degree with $20,000 in student loans. I'm still looking forward to being able to use my degree, but I'm just wondering if that's ever going to happen. I'm overeducated Courtesy: Sean PaddenName: Sean Padden, 42 Place: Providence, R.I. I have more education than I know what to do with, and I am one of the long-term unemployed who have given up hopes of finding a job. After a double major in chemistry and microbiology as an undergrad, I earned a master's degree in molecular biology and gained teaching experience in cellular, micro, molecular and plant biology. I thought this wide array of experience would at least get me interviews. After hundreds of applications over the past four years, I have had less than five interviews. My solution has been to try and employ myself. I resorted going back to a high school hobby, as a job. I'm working on starting a woodworking business that makes canes, using a special kind of diseased wood. Basically, I'm using my chemistry background to create functional pieces of art.

Egal stated that his administration will only be based on a clan in the transition period of two years. On the contrary, it is been 20 years and it is the same clan-based administration hora lo yidhi qabiil qaran ma noqdo. One thing he is right about though is his statement “aqoonsi hadiyad la iskuma siiyo”. Khaatumo State will struggle for its rightful territories. Makhir State and Awdal State will also follow suit. Little did he know, when he denied such administrations will ever come to existence.

Khaatumo,Makhir, iyo Awdal xaq bay u leeyihiin in ay ayahooda ka tashadaan oo dhulkooda xoreestaan. Guul iyo horumar.

Thanks to the poster and each one of you fr sharing your personal stories, it was interesting to read as well as educational. These days almost every delivery I hear of is a c-section. It is strange. Mashallah Rahma you made a good decision with your second baby, babies are more healthy when delivered normally.

Chimera, enjoy your trip back home and keep us updated.

There are enough threads of this nature on SOL. Take a look....niman leh "Gabadh baa aroos qaali ah iga rabta nin cadaan ah bilaash bay ku racdey bla bla bla bla"...Find something else to do with your time, and if this actually did happen to you turn the page aduunka waa weynyahay.

You are right it was a diplomatic issue. I was simply pointing out that Somalia is a poor nation unlike UAE.

I agree with Che. The Somali government needs as much assistant as they can possibly get. But UAE is a rich nation. Not to mention the canadians were the only one paying; quiet unfair.

Canada and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to end a squabble over visas that forced Canadians to pay hundreds of dollars to enter the Gulf country. Baird visited a Tim Hortons outlet in Abu Dhabi Tuesday with his "friend," the United Arab Emirates foreign minister, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Their morning coffee break was followed by "good and formal discussions," Baird said. In a statement, the ministers said the talks would "strengthen and re-energize the Canada-U.A.E. relationship." Relations between Canada and the U.A.E. soured in 2010 over Canada's refusal to grant Emirati airlines extra landing rights in Canada, a dispute that prompted the closure of a key Canadian Forces staging base outside Dubai. The following year, the U.A.E. imposed a costly visa on Canadians visiting the country. Visitors from most European countries, Australia and the U.S.didn't need visas for the U.A.E. Canadians, however, had to pay $165 for a single-entry, 30-day visa; $330 for a single-entry 60-day visa; and $660 for a six-month, multiple-entry visa. Diplomatic irritations were partially soothed last year with news that Canada will sell the U.A.E. nuclear technology. At the same time, the U.A.E. announced it would cut the fees for visas, though the requirement remained in place. On Tuesday, the ministers said they had accomplished their goal to "facilitate travel requirements to increase business, tourism and joint prosperity for our citizens by restoring the visa regime." Chairs announced for joint business council In addition to the nuclear co-operation agreement signed last year, the ministers' joint statement announced the launch of a Canada-U.A.E. business council. The statement said the council's inaugural chairs would be Abdulla Saif Ali Slayem Al Nuaimi, the vice-chairman of TAQA [the Abu Dhabi National Energy Company], which is currently active in sustainable energy technology in Canada, and Gordon Nixon, the president and chief executive officer of the Royal Bank of Canada. More than 40,000 Canadians live and work in the U.A.E. and more than 150 Canadian companies are established there. In addition, International Trade Minister Ed Fast and his counterpart, the U.A.E.'s minister of economy, Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansouri, will meet in May, the statement said. The two countries also appear poised for future cooperation in the field of international development. International Co-operation Minister Julian Fantino has accepted an invitation to visit the U.A.E. later this month, "collaborating in our mutual objectives to reduce poverty and create prosperity in the developing world by investing in economic development," the joint statement said. The ministers agreed to strengthen co-operation on police, corrections and border matters, including training opportunities. The two countries also joined in urging Iran to co-operate with the international community on its nuclear program and called for an effective and responsible international response to the Assad regime and its actions against the Syrian people. "We find ourselves at a historic crossroads in the region and globally: between an opportunity to promote prosperity, security and development and the threats posed by extremists, conflict and poverty," the joint communique said. Baird was in Jordan on the weekend before making his brief trip to Iraq on Monday. Baird's two-week tour of the Middle East continues throughout Parliament's Easter break, with future stops in Qatar, Bahrain, Cyprus and Israel. © The Canadian Press, 2013
