What careers are the most common for young Somalis in the west

[JackieBurkhart]

Criminal justice? How interesting! If I wasn’t so worried about money concerns or that fact they may not hire a jilbabi, I’d love to become a detective or FBI agent. It was one of my dream jobs

undercover somali psyop? Agent @Yaraye

At your service, ma'am.

I'm studying commercial and corporate law

Very good. In both of those disciplines, there is a high demand, at least in the US, for solicitors especialising in 'Intellectual property' with specific pertinence to forensics, international trade, data encryption, classification etc. Would definitely put your CV ahead of your contemporaries.

With you feisty streak, you will make a mean solicitor, in a good sort of a way (kaftan).

You should pursue it with you hijab intact, and actually there was a time they were seeking out, and recruiting female Muslim agents.

The lads mostly go into STEM (not really medicine in my experience though) so things like engineering, computer science/IT related roles and etc.

Women tend to go into social work

Economics & Computer sci. Has also been trending lately as well, you a maraykan mali too?

Yes. I lumped CS with into engineering
