Good to hear, otherwise it would be a shame. Keep in mind gaalo are your friends as long as you are useful to them.
Looks and sociability can take you WAY further in the corporate world than competence.

But even a handsome Indian labourer will be treated horrible.There is one caveat. You have to be decent looking and personable, ugly fuckers get treated worse than pajeet labourers in the Middle-east
Yeah, except I'm not a pajeet from Uttar Pradesh mixing concrete by hand

Good looks are weird. Even as a straight dude I can admit that a good-looking and well-dressed saaxiib gets a certain reaction out of you. You may not even realize you're doing it unless you're very self-aware but you will show him more deference. Reminds me of an old story my hooyo used to tell me about an ancestor of ours. He was basically like an Ugaas and showed up to some tuulo or magaalad he was a stranger to in rags with a dusty donkey to test a theory. When he showed up like that nobody cared for him and people even treated him with scorn. Later he came back around in expensive finery and a fine steed and they were dick-riding him in seconds. He said something like "Your love is no thicker than cloth."

Even at my shitty retail gig back in uni looks and sociability paid my bills. I turned up late half the time and was utterly useless at the job (didnt really care tbf). Yet they kept me on because I was the sociable nigga even with the bosses as I kept the mundane, kill yaself by your 40s kinda gig that retail is enjoyable for the plebbians.

My father always told me to work like you are ugly.
He said no one is coming to save you. You aren't a trust fund brat. Something to the effect of he went from 0 education to an advanced degree in STEMs in a foreign country.
I had to remind him that had it not been for his beautiful sisters marrying for money he would not have stayed in school in Amoud (which was not free in the 50s). Discipline and work ethic kept him on the right trajectory while many Somalis studying in Soviet Russia failed because they fell for vices. And being handsome, well-read, highly educated and multi-lingual set him up to land his first job. I would say it's a coalescing of multiple factors.
Personality is one of them. He's an ISTJ apparently. Those keeners are by the book, organized, timely, highly principled and logic-oriented. Though in his later years, he became less critical. One of his issues was a penchant for honesty and fairness so that might not rub off well with some. Tact is a skill and some of us have it more in spades than others. Though he's oddly charming and people generally like him. It's difficult to bifurcate that from appearance or solid communication skills.

To be fair going from 60/70s rural Somalia to Moscow is overwhelming, I'd abscond so quick

It wasn't that bad. Somalis are the fearless type. He was from K5 and the closest school was in Borama. He went to boarding school in Amoud which was better quality under the British system of education. It was a protectorate at the time. Also, they gave international students In Russia 1 year of immersion before entrance into university. I wouldn't describe it as a fish-out-of-water scenario.

How many Somalis in that era had the opportunity to study in Russia?
Resilience and self-discipline are factors that contributed to his academic persistence. When failure isn't an option you will probably rise to the occasion. Especially when you already have considerable self-worth, value effort over some sort of innate aptitude and hopefully have enough self-control.To be fair going from 60/70s rural Somalia to Moscow is overwhelming, I'd abscond so quick

I'm not sure but a lot of them tend to know each other.

You can have many competent people, individuals with the gift of gab usually stick out. Plain and simple. You need to maneuver with the social interplay if you want to move up. The way one uses their competency makes all the difference in certain rooms, while in others you have to exert the competency more. One has to critically apply things timely and know when to put pressure and not.
Personally, what I'm striving for is way competency demanding and then later it will diffuse into other structural and organizational functions.
In life, you have to know yourself and play to your strength and know your weaknesses (that's where your confidence is centered), and know what is required. So a healthy sense of self-awareness is something that is very important.

All facts, I started my BSN right after graduating high school (I was 17 years old) and I was not ready. It was one of the most mentally draining experiences of my life. And when youโre one of the only Africans/black people in your program, these racist instructors really have it out for you and want to see you fail. And some of them are minorities too! Walahi itโs wild. But alx I made it out with a degree making great money right out the gate. Itโs worth it in the end. You got this sisNot smart just studious. I did PSEO in high school that's why I started early. I think starting at your sister's age is better. I started at 19 and it was hell! The amount of work, exams, and clinical rotations is so damn much you don't got time for anything else in life. I lost so much sleep that after several months of graduating I was still waking up at odd times of the night. On top of tha, most of the nursing instructors are cadaan old racists ladies. They will literally work to fail you. I've just recently started another type of hell called the BSN, thank god I only have 3 months left. Cadaab caady baa galay.

It's truly draining. I mean all programs have a rigorous curriculum and that's to be expected, but the racist instructors who work purposely to fail you is the most difficult to deal with. My cohort was mostly cadaans/ asians. We were already small in number when it came to African/blacks. When we started the program we were about 7 people. When we graduated, only I and 2 others were left. They managed to shrink us by more than half! While the cadaans/ asians mostly graduated. I swear, before going to clinical rotations or exams I'd read Dua to guard myself against these racist bastards.
These instructors know that nursing is a field that is flexible, stable and makes great money, so they'll try to gatekeep you. They don't want an influx of minorities becoming successful in a highly desired field.
