All the skilled laborers and coolies they use back home for construction are usually Kenyan the difference between you and them is you have an office job to go back to while the office jobs they want don't exist.

I worked one day in a construction. It was the rebuilding of Hema ( a big chain store in the Netherlands). I was 19 at that time, broke as a mofo. The job agency told me where and what time to show up. I had no idea it was construction site. I showed up with smart shoes and pants. I saw polish construction workers at the entry :damn:

I couldn’t handle the tools. I was determined to survive one day and never return. But before I could resign, the chief came to me and said ‘don’t return tomorrow’ :damn:

I don’t know what y’all complaining about, I worked construction twice and I loved it.

Not only was it therapeutic, I felt like I was getting paid for working out.

Yeah we from rural ares start training at the age of 8 we don't cry after our father like the magaalos but y'all make for good entertainers
Stop the cap there is no difference between reer magaalo and rural although rural is bit aggressive and trigger happy.
 
There is a lot of Somali builders and construction workers in Europe and Somalia.

I have male relatives in European countries who are carpenters, electricians and construction workers because they have a different educational system than the UK and US, which are heavily university/college oriented.

Where a good portion of males fore go Uni to go into vocational training/jobs and apprenticeships. Some of them end up pursuing secondary education after a couple of years of working and taken on jobs as lawyers, Medical/Tech professionals

I encourage more Somali youth who are born and raised in the west who don't come from affluent families or not sure of what to do. To go into the military or do vocational training jobs instead of going directly to uni after high school.

You get payed, work experience and usually they pay for your education and save enough to pay for your education avoiding student debt

No in Somalia a good sizeable portion of the construction builders are still Somalis. Not all foreigners. Foreigners are more recently being recruited to meet a demand.

He said that the foreigners they employ do not do any work that can be done by local workers. They also encourage the transfer of skills to the local workforce.

Iftin currently employs 17 foreigners and 10 locals on permanent contracts. When a project is under construction, they hire more locals on daily wages, such as men like Ali and Hassan.

There is outsourcing happening to Chinese and Indians from overseas not Kenyans, that may puts pressure on the job availability/security of locals: According to this article



For 10 years, Abdiaziz had been working in construction, making a decent $20 a day. The family lives in Washington IDP camp on the outskirts of Garowe.

Over the past two years, construction companies in the city have been bringing in skilled workers from overseas. Local people feel they are losing out.
“We have the right skills and experience, among us are tilers, builders, and plumbers. We are all sitting here while foreigners are all over the town doing what was ours!” he complained.
Also aggrieved is Hassan Abdinoor, who worked on building sites for 21 years before finding himself unable to get work recently.

“The lack of construction jobs has affected us badly. We are sitting here idle by the walls of these shops the whole day. These men you see here are all builders, they have families waiting for them at home, but we come here in the morning and leave in the evening empty handed. The construction jobs have been taken by foreigners!” Hassan stated.

Outsourcing of labour is pretty much something happening world wide. It has to do with the incentive of companies to make a profit
