e11: Dr. William Undie advice to Nadvigators “Already earned degrees and titles should not be a hindrance to making a new career change at any point.”
Part 1 – Dr. William Undie shares his nadvigating journey with host Bassey Simon. 
Dr. Undie admits he didn’t realize there were so many black people in America until he found himself at a Greyhound bus stop in Milwaukee, WI. Just as his classmates were surprised to learn there were skyscrapers in Africa.

In this episode, I bring you the first part of Dr. William Undie inspiring story.
 

 
This Episode Summary
Dr. Undie is a professor of Radio-Oncology Physics at a prestigious Cancer Research in Texas. He finished high school in Nigeria before coming to the United States, where he studied hard to receive not only several medical degrees but also a degree in Criminology.
 

Dr. Undie suggests not sending your child to the United States when they are very young, because they will make a lot of mistakes. He graduated from high school with a scholarship for Industrial Economics. But after receiving his Bachelor’s degree in Wisconsin, he felt Industrial Economics wasn’t the path he wanted to take.
Dr. Undie shares that learning to adjust to Wisconsin cold, missing family and making new friends. He had not intended to stay in the United States, but after returning to Nigeria, his desire to further his education brought him back. However, he found his second experience to be more difficult than the first.
