Guys and ladies, if you're a bsc holder (2.1 to be precise) and you get a teaching job, with 20k as salary, would you accept it? Note that transport to and from the place is #100 daily (#50 to nd #50 from)

wow! U're very 'intelligent'.So its better 2 stay @ home earning nothing(ZERO) staying idle than earning #20000 which he could even somtimes use 4 running interviews 4 bigger firms and all. #Ur I.Q is low, bro! #Dont despise days of little beginnings n start from somwhere!

Bruv! i have worked for less before (Had a part-time job of delivering letters and i was paid #50 per letter, and Given #1000 for transport: in which i was not meant to spend above a limit for all the letters which could number up to 30 in different areas, cum end of the month my take-home pay never exceeded #5000, and i am a B.Sc Hons holder)..

Anyways, suggest you german the thing and take the job for the time being... Make you dey get some change from time to time as the place no far from your house..

This got me rolling on the floor. Some schools actually pay BSc holders that amount especially schools in Ogun State.

Yes you are correct to an extent. @OP you will also have some change for t.fare to attend job interviews too.

TVTKOKO: pls tell me wat he stands to gain staying @ home

what he stands to gain is that he'd have time to search for better jobs. the worst condition that comes with being under-employed is the fact that the stupid job usually takes most of ur time and prevents you from staying updated.

the only reason that justifies taking a bad job is 1.) if it offers an experience dats relevant to ur field.hence,u can always gain from that experience in d future. so if u av B.Sc and not B.Ed,it's not worth it....(2.) if you don't have people you can totally depend on,that 20k per month might go a long way in terms of ur welfare. So it's up to u to decide what u feel is more favourable.

If you ask for my advice,I'd say you should reject the offer and concentrate on ur job search....but then,i wouldn't know how much u need that 20k per month.

I'm not just talking,i'm speaking from experience cos I've been there b4.

Mr man, why cant you apply courtsey in anything, he said hes mind. Why abuse him for that? Tho, i can vehemently tell you, even while i never finished school then(school on strike) i prefared staying at home for a 15k school job as an undergraduate 100L let alone a whole bsc. Its an insult.
On the other hand my elder sister took a teaching job with a startup pay of 12k as a bsc holder. For a lady, i can condone but for a guy, common hussle broda, u cant depend on such salary even to do bis. Salary that will finish even before u collect it.

. God will bless U a million times. See these poor kids on nairaland wey neva count 20K before.. Na so one foolish guy for ma office.. B.Sc working here for alomost 6yrs now.. Collectn 25K .. Contract staff.. Am sure it was d same foolish pple dt advised him to take d job dt afta some time, he will get somethn betta.. D dude no even get tym to eat lunch at times talkless of avn time to go do anoda interview.. He is stuck hia unless he resigns... Guy forget that meagre 20K and kip lookn for Job.. Kip applyin, study ur gmats..hope and pray.. Am sure ur Job will come.. Dnt listen to these kids wey neva see money before.. 20K be like 2million for their face..

Never underestimate the days of humble beginnings...I think its in the bible somewhere...

Take the job. I have heard of someone who got a job thru his students' parents. U neva know when or how a good job would come ur way. Besides, the experience might be a plus to u, someday, somewhr.

Take the job. Don't look too much @ the meagre pay, this is just a stepping stone.

Do you stay in mowe-ibafo axis? Cos thats were such disgrace is perpetuated

@ OP, honestly, there are some decisions no man (not even NL) can make for you. You need to seat and think deep about what you want for yourself before you start hunting for job. You don't just pick up a job just because you are desperate (especially when the so-called takehome can't take u anywhere). Listen, if you don't have intention of being a teacher, it is better you don't take the job because frustration will make you resign your appointment because you may never have time to attend interview or job test. Well, you will have to keep telling lies (i.e if u will even have d opportunity). Even when you attend the interview, you may not be selected because your teaching experience may not count. My advice is that you go look for company that may not even pay you up to 20k but you can earn the cognate experience. 20k is nothing compare to what you will lose in the longrun. I will assume you are a guy. There are so many things you can do with your time(if you are not lazy and shy) that can fetch you at LEAST 10,000 per month assuming you work only Monday to Friday for just 4 hours. Or better still, go to any nearby organisation of your choice, volunteer to work for free. I am sure they will pay you stipend at the end of the month and you will learn alot. I am sure you will not value this piece of advice until you resume the teaching job. I wish you the best. Sorry for the long epistle. Lol.

Lol no I'm actually serving in Akute/Agbado axis. Even some big schools around pay graduates such amount. They will even write it on their vacancy board. "Teachers needed urgently B.sc 15k, H.N.D 14k, NCE 13k Apply within" and some of those teachers handle more than 2Subjects. Chei Ogun state schools sabi disgrace person degree sha my eye don see something.

bro tell dem o, most time u mke sacrifices to gain something bigger, wat shal it profit dt guy to earn 20k in 5years n cnt even burst of a reasonable archivement

@OP.. Lemme tell u d truth by tym u get insult frm satyin home nd lack of fund, u go know say frm agbara to Epe dey trekable..

Most of d dude sayin don't pick d job re frm homes doin fyn nd can sit down waitin for d best job.

Mii wey dey talk jst resign dey wait 4 safety Job. Buh wiv dis home sitting am finkin of gettin a marketing job I detest.

Use ya head wella..

Dude it's better than doing nothing
I have never worked with my bsc certificate
Even though i left uni like 2yrs now

How stressful is the job, how much of ur time does it take? ?


Unless you are thinking of changing ur career
Start there and build ur life

I started worst...started na past tense

Draw up a proper Cost-benefit Analysis.

Thanks guys. I'd have to give them a response on thursday.
I welcome the opinion of everybody on this thread cos it's making me see this from different angles.
Staying at home is horrible. I've lost count of the number of places I've submitted my CV, both online and in person.
I've also thought of picking up a volunteer job, but all the companies around here are factories in need of labourers.
I'm still hoping of getting that dream job.

d most flexible n reasonable advice, bt i must add, take d job if it giv u tym 4 job search or add value to u. Will it make u sharp acedemically?....pls wich course u read sef?

I think you should take it. Since it costs #100 for transport, it is better to keep yourself busy instead of staying at home. But just be ready to work. All those private school and slave labour....you go tire.

I have a friend who worked as a teacher in a private earning 15k, after 2 months he Got another one which pays 30k, after 3months he got another job with a start-up firm as the manager, his take home is now a lil above 100k.

So, my guy, it all depends on you and your dreams. You need to be closer to God and pray well. It is just a matter of time. Don't compare yourself with other people....
