America always wants the best students from around the world to come. One of the ways they know you are one of the best is your SAT score if you are applying as an undergraduate.

If you have a very high SAT score and a good transcript from your secondary school,

You stand a chance of a Full Scholarship. Contact as many schools as possible with your SAT score, Email the international admissions office, ask if they have merit-based scholarships for international students.

You can then send your SAT score to them.

You may be required to write an essay. Please let someone proofread this for you. Please pay for this service if you can. A lot of schools collect application fee.

NB: Do not be desperate when applying for visas. You will be an easy target for fraudsters.

Scaffolding is another area of construction we are not benefiting from because we are not building enough high rise buildings. There are 27,000 registered scaffolders in the UK according to CIRS. The UK has circa 60 million. Say Nigeria 200m we can train 81,000 people

If we are aggressively building. These are skills that are in demand. Some scaffolders earn more than the UK Prime Minister in terms of salary. Scaffolders earn about £40,000 a year.They don't need to go to school. Just training and certification. But we need to build aggresively
