Its better you hawk oranges than do that job. If any man should take something from you, don't let them take your time. If they must take it, they should pay well for it.
Am not employed yet, but I can't take a job of 40k. Though I have a business that gets me up to that in a month.
Instead of wasting your whole week for peanuts, channel it on your self. You'll go places

people should start thinking like you do. I attended a recent interview for a regional manager position with a famous make up company, the lady said she was gonna pay me 100k, I started smiling and she enquired. I reminded her that my last salary was more than 200k. and I feel I can do more. politely I declined. I now run two very small businesses and I can boldly know my boys gonna bring back nothing less than 5k daily. Do the calculation.

Nigerian graduates, please stop working for peanuts. use your head, think, think, think

I had an encounter recently that is driving my head to different direction and am getting sick. In a bid to get job and after trying so hard not getting one. I decided to use the school holiday period to port to teaching job. Although i have teaching experience. I am a lady married with a kid. I researched about a school that uses computer per student and use projector to teach as against white/black board. As i love computer a lot and felt i will derive joy managing that till a better one comes.
To my shock i was invited by the school did CBT test and macro teaching all came out well. Was asked to wait for the owner of the school as he was eager to meet me and the other lady waiting. What came out from his mouth nearly killed me. I will be offered 20,000 naira for the job. Which includes Monday to Saturday. 7:30 to 4pm. Saturday is 8am to 4pm. Am i dreaming i asked him to make it 35,000 and ask if there will be any extra money for those extra hours. He said NO that 20,000 is their best offer. My transport to the place is 600 naira per day i told him and that makes it 14,400 for transport. I was asked to resume to teach Civic and Government, because i studied international relations.
Honestly, when i saw their staff, the other lady for interview called my attention to it that am i not seeing poverty written all over the staff, but i told her not to conclude as it was holiday period, but after the meeting i got my answer. The school fee of this school is massive. Primary pay times 3 to 4 of what am been offered.
Since that day i lost my sleep got sick the conversation kept playing on my head. Is this how big schools pay please?[b][/b]

Worry not people. I am going to perform an experiment using a friend and within a few weeks from now, I will come here with my result. The plan is basically to see how anyone residing in capital of any state can set up a thriving private tutor business. My friend is a serving corper (also a nairalander) whom I do hope to get as much clients as possible for and much faster than you can imagine.

If you like the idea of private tutor, one that can basically fetch you as much as 50k to 100k per month (it could be more from the look of things), this will be the best moment. The more you can do, the more money that you can make. I have noticed that lots of nairalanders love to teach and the lack of jobs in the country is really alarming.

I see some people building their own schools from this by God's grace and I pray that the first test brings in positive results.

kudos to your creative thinking and perch for trying new things and exploring...pls I did like to have ur personal contact ...you could drop it in my inbox Sir ...asiruayomide @ gmail. com ...thank you in anticipation of a positive feedback

This is broad day slavery. I think government should start monitoring the welfare of staff in private schools because they keep doing what they do because the system allows them. How would somebody ask me to switch off my phone and submit it. I am learning this for the first time. Untop how much sef.

charles009:
let me ask us all a question? I have a business Manager role to help market a software to schools, with a 100k salary. my bet is, I will be taking more than 5000 applications.

Breakdown: you basically don't know what you gonna market, how to do it and most importantly you detest marketing, all you need is the 100k. Of course you will surely make an attempt both online and offline.

Now the Question: What if I decide to make an attempt to market my own idea?

All am saying is try using up half energy you will for someone else's businesses and make an attempt to market your idea.

Remember all you need in life to be overly successful is just one idea, sleep for 50years, wake up with 1 .

So in desperate times like this, I challenge all fresh graduates to start thinking. Don't be afraid.

May God give you the strength to fathom out that which will make your heart fulfilled in Jesus Name Amen.
