I would advise you to follow your mind and choose any of the jobs which you have a greater passion for. My other advice for you and indeed anybody else is to get involved in a simple and easy way to earn very good daily income without any possibility to lose any money whatsoever. In that way, no matter what job you do or even if you have no job at all, you can invest just a little money in this business and start to earn money from the day you start, seven days a week, 365 day in a year. All you have to do is to follow the link: https://trafficmonsoon.com/?ref=frankjoe to set up your account without any cost or money/cash deposit and if you need further explanation, information or assistance, you can contact me by email at: frankjoe344@gmail.com. I am currently working in the Middle East and I am very well paid as a professional. But with my side business, I am making a passive income that pays me a lot far more than my salary in the Middle East. If you want to contact me on my mobile phone in Saudi Arabia, then call me on: +966502816117 between 3.00 pm and 9.00 pm Nigerian time as I am busy with my work before 3.00 pm. Don’t let this genuine opportunity pass you by and besides you have nothing to lose. I personally intend to stop working in about two years when I must have saved up millions of dollars to take care of me till I die and still leave enough for my family. 1 Like |

Abyam:... My brother, there is nothing to rethink about, Just go for the multinational coy and you can use your monetary capability to enroll for your M.SC and Phd.. And if you wanna later become a lecturer it's not just going to be a lecturer but an experienced one of such. |
Re: Between A Multi National And Lecturing Job by Nobody: 3:07pm On Nov 25, 2015 |
Mr. Please go for the multinational company. You have little dignity teaching in a University without a phd. Take the MNC job, get ur phd, you can then come back to lecturing if you want. You'll hv killed two birds with a stone that way. |

Take the multinational job. Work for two years. If u don't like it anymore, quit and apply for a lecturing job. You'll probably get it again, if you do it right. |

i'll advice you go for the multinational, if you are worried about downsizing, you could always start a business while still working with the multinational company. You could hire someone to manage it while you are away or even your wife. Go for it, no loss. |

Multinational job is cool. Lecturing is cool. Multinational gives U money and death threatening situations, U might be flying chopper every two weeks plus the chemicals U will inhale. That's if U are a field and offshore worker. Also Multinational job is like that of a soldier, U don't have time 4 ur family and loved ones. Lecturing on the other side is good: U have less safety concerns, less money though U can still afford life's necessities. IOC can pay U up to 6 digits while lecturing might pay a graduate assistant say #150K. GOD will guide U brother. 1 Like |

Re: Between A Multi National And Lecturing Job by Neverquit(f): 5:21pm On Nov 25, 2015 |
Accept the job offer from the Multinational company. You and your family should live on the salary of the govt job though. Save and invest the extra so even if you get fired, you will have a nice cushion to fall back on. Abyam: |

Craven:Very Brilliant and educative response... but I would like to to put something across and I also believe d op will read this also...Not all Government Jobs tolerate laziness or lack of self development..If there is any Govt kind of Job that pushes one beyond his or her Comfort zone then it jes has to be the Higher institutions.( specifically the Universities and even research institutes.. )The will to improve is always there so as to be relevant in one's path..To get legitimate promotion from an assistant lecturer to a lecturer ii or to any other rank in d academic sector(e.g to a professor) has its own price,not only in time but also in the quality of research done within a particular period( which must be proven by number of research articles or journals) ,grants gotten from international bodies,collaborations with scientists( sorry I am being specific about science area of interest) home and abroad, fellowships gotten and so on and so forth..all these can't and won't be achieved by a lazy person or a person without d zeal to "self improve".. presently I hav two friends who thru TETFUND are already running their phd programme in the U.S,this is just one of d numerous benefits that one can derive from working in a Govt Higher Institution asides the stability which u hav rightly mentioned..Everything thing in life,everything we wanna achieve in life is a matter of Choice..

toofine765: I just had to comment on this one! Mr Man what advise are you seeking from nairaland(Job section) where most commenters here are job seekers, hence they may mislead you to take the multinational company with better pay. personally, I will go for the Govt Job as it afford you the opportunity to follow your dream while also giving you time to start up your own Business( Note that you still have a long way to go with 2 kids) Sometimes, money should not be the determining factor when making choices as regards employment. think of security/Once biten twice shy. Grab the Government job now before I vex(Sorry for the pidgin, was only emphasizing how angry I am at your indecision). Greater Heights 2 Likes |

Abyam: I love saving, saving for rainy days and being prudent...so my lil advice is tailored to such...also especially because of your past experience with job instability...So assuming your proposed salary is N130,000pcm/per calendar month: With the lecturing job, you would be stuck in a rut until you acquire your PHD which I believe takes 3 years on average in Nigeria. If you set aside 1/3rd of your salary estimated above, you would have saved N260,000 in 6 months///N520,000 in a year///N1,040,000 in two years///N2,080,000 in three years///etc... With the Multinational company, and on an assumed salary three times in line with the aforementioned figure above, your monthly take home will be N390,000pcm, open 3 further bank account (paying attention to the current market volatility and banks likely to buckle under) save 2/3rd of this increment (N260,000pcm) in two fixed deposit account, leaving a balance of N130,000. Again, set aside 1/3rd of this and deposit into the 3rd bank account for contingency purpose. With the first two accounts, you would have saved N1,560,000 in 6 months///N3,120,000 in one year///N6,240,000 in two years///N12,480,000 in three years///etc. This you can invest in business or whatnot... And you still have the contingency fund in the 3rd account which will grow to N260,000 in six months///N520,000 in a year...as well as N86,667 monthly salary to live on... And above all you have Almighty God. It is well. One of the most valuable career advise I got from an ex-lecturer/retired lecturer, when I was 18 years old and all I dreamt about all my life was being a Teacher/Lecturer, was to - "do something useful whilst young and do what you enjoy and follow your passion when old, and that Education is majorly a "financial" investment we dabble into to make a profit in future... 2 Likes |

Please sir, I am contacting you for clarification. What is the age limit beyond which one cannot be employed as a lecturer but only as a contract or adjunct lecturer in Nigerian Universities? Mayflowa: |
Re: Between A Multi National And Lecturing Job by Mayflowa(m): 9:57am On Oct 11, 2019 |
McTobe: No age limit in professorial consideration. Once you have a doctoral degree with research publication, you can join any university at any age. However, the retirement age as a professor is 70 years while other academic positions is 65 years |
Re: Between A Multi National And Lecturing Job by iamclime(m): 1:18pm On Oct 11, 2019 |
So, Op, how did it end? What did you choose? And how has it been? I'm interested in the outcome. cc: Abyam |
Re: Between A Multi National And Lecturing Job by McTobe(m): 2:02pm On Oct 14, 2019 |
Thank you Sir, but I heard that once you are past 45years that you will be employed as a contract staff and may not make it as a professor since that position is for regular academic staff as against contract staff. Can you help to clarify for me? Mayflowa: |
