Osman chose higher-paying clerical work over continued nursing.

Evidence

During his brief tenure as head of personnel, Osman learned typing and bookkeeping. Two years later, the authorities offered him a promotion to first-class nurse or a transfer to clerical services. Osman enjoyed being a nurse, but he knew that salaries in the clerical services were higher. He chose the clerical position and was subsequently transferred to Shalambot, near Janale. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 150
