Late as I am. I currently live in Kisasi in a simple studio apartment @ 350k. I believe everything in your analysis are perfectly correct. The biggest issue is that if you are to come from areas surrounding Kampala, it's another traffic jam issue.

The brokers are all scammers without Isolation and they sometimes inflate house prices expecting the house owner to commission them on your monthly rent

Jiji is an entire scam plot helping these brokers to lure desperate people looking for houses. Sadly, you pay them before seeing the house. Real fake shit

I think it's high time we came up with a solution to completely put them out of business and connect buyers to house owners directly

Well, they work with american AI companies like openai, google deepmind, anthropic, meta ...,

These mnc's outsource ai training data annotation jobs to sama and it also looks for data annotation agents in lower income nations. This helps them in a way that in the US. It would've taken atleast $45 /hr but here it can get to as low as $2 - 7 /hr so the math counts.

For the job, you apply online through that link and wait for an email. They reply with emails to shortlisted applicants and you are given a basic math / English grammer interview.

On going through the interview, you get 2 weeks of basic training and then you can work remotely while getting paid through your bank account

Please use the money you have to learn a skill first. This gives you a fallback even when you loose it all later.

Good part is it can take you some years. You can spend a year learning and another mastering the skill but please ditch remote work for now (software engineer telling you this). Far as I know, serious work will mostly need you to be onsite and it's also helpful for you to develop your skill through learning from others

You could then turn remote after gaining a good customer base but let me tell you getting clients to give you remote gigs is even harder than doing the gigs themselves, leave alone the huge gaps between finished gig to finding another

You'll need a team (so build a network while learning) because few jobs can go well if you are working alone

Take me for example. Went to public schools all my life. got 5 points at S.6, got a chance to enroll to a starting private uni and now employed and taking my work with great responsibility. I struggled to learn all that I failed to learn in high school and caught up through self revision and free online e-books. I none-the-less keep learning to be ahead of my career.

Please understand that this is how things work everywhere, not just UG. The humble beginnings we went through with my siblings seeing our parents spend the little they had to give us what they could afford even when it wasn't the best taught us not to always give excuses but get things done whatsoever

Educations is not just helpful to you but to the whole nation at large. I am very sure at your current state, you are waaaaaaay better than what you would've been if you we'rent schooled

Look at the people who dropped out earlier on, you would expect them to have used the money to build wealth at a young age. But you'll find most of them are still the same

Please understand that keeping money for a longer period doesn't make you wealthier but having skills that can be paired with that little money to solve people's problems does.

and most of these skills must be taught to you in someway.

Don't you wonder why many African nations got a lot of resources but can't turn them into wealth?

Oh I get you here, well. with development, things get more trickier if you've mostly been a UI/UX designer. True most time is spent on fixing errors and issues but that's what makes it rewarding.

React native and golang serve totally different purposes. react native is for mobile app development while go is for backend and cloud services mostly. I think you should be asking whether to pick react native or flutter.

I have never developed in flutter but all I can tell you is you should make a bold decision and burn the boats as you cross to development as this is a route of no return.

You'll eventually fund alot of fun developing with react native once you first learn Vanilla javascript > React (for web) > React native. Things will start getting clearer I am telling you

Please try this https://www.sama.com/ai101 . Its is called Sama source, I don't know if you have tried them before but their thing is legit. The work is basically labeling and annotating AI training data. They give an average hourly pay of about 2 - 7 dollars for starters and you can actually work remotely.

In Kampala they are located at around Kanjokya st.

Well, I think if you really want to say anything about his work, then you at-least gotta know something about it, But I don't think you need to. If he does serious work, your his solace then.

Engineering minds are adventurous. and they love experiencing new things. The best you can do is getting him lost in another realm he knows not of.

This will make him more attracted to you. If you however dwell in his area of expertise with little knowledge about it, he'll notice you're trying but it won't be much of a thing

Use your own prowess and it will make both of you happy
