Advise: Government Job Vs Private Business Which Is Better? by phayvoursky(m): 8:14am On Jul 30, 2017 |
Goodday NLanders, I really don't know to place this but I hope you'll get my point. I and a friend had this lenghty discussion recently on the paths of our careers. Many ideas kept coming up in the course of our discussion. I noticed all my friend was throwing at me was govt job and govt job. He talked on how secured and less busy govt workers at work cause he has a sister and his Dad who currently works and got retired in the same parastatal. Also talked about the benefits that follows after retirement and the ample time you have to control your private business (which i disagree on). He threw many juicy benefits about govt job and I began to give it a thought. Now to me; I am a very business savvy guy. Nothing thrills me more than seeing a successful business man/woman or hearing a great business idea. I see youths and individuals into business doing exploits and they have all the time to their selves, call the shots and are not mentally lazy. I picked a point from him where he said govt employees can control their business and still be in the govt system with other benefits. I am seeking advise on this so that i know which is best Thanks. pls do the needful 3 Likes |

Osun state is owing their doctors almost 22 months salaries Benue, Bayelsa and the rest are owing too. Hope you know they are government workers too? The only secure job is the one that you can employ yourself, give your self compulsory leave, pay yourself, decide to come late or close early, etc The only secure job is the one that you call the shots 59 Likes 2 Shares |

phayvoursky:I'm always happy to hear people with business mindset talk. A job makes you a slave, a business empowers you. Your children can't inherit your job but they can inherit your business. What joy do you derive from building some else's dream and forgetting your own dreams. You get paid N10,000 000 for 35 years of service when business people can make this amount in one or two years. Your one month salary as an employee is what someone makes in a a day. If you know you're tired of carrying that brown envelope only to be told "we'll get back to you" and no one ever gets back to you, if you know you are tired of earning a chicken change, or you already have a business and wish to build more, leave your contact. We'll offer you a business opportunity that is indispensable not job. I worked for 12 years of my life with nothing to show for it before I embraced this opportunity that has made a difference in my life in just a short time. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

... Do you know how many Businesses failed after 10years... Think about your Pensions and Gratuity... Think about the Process of Completing Contracts. Think about the "Entrepreneurial responsibility" Think about it and Pray because...Hmmm. My Boss Father was one of the Nigeria Elite in the 70's. Now my Boss is worried and said if .... had known ... would have settle for Public service even if ... allowance was more that the Annual salary of public servant. Old now but there is no Pension. 5 Likes |

The govt job is a good deal for most. However, private job/personal business is a VERY GOOD THING, but only when its successful. 1 Like 1 Share |

Stupid question.. A personal successful business is second to nothing. A Government job is for mentally lazy people who want a job where are guaranteed they will never get fired (thanks to the unions) and where when they retire, they will keep enjoying a meagre pension. Sadly those people die pretty frustrated and with nothing to leave their next of kin. 8 Likes 1 Share |

A lot of people are afraid of doing business. You can't blame them. They are not risk takers At a point I tell myself I will never live a life where my children would put me on a pay check when I get old. A lot of people are scared of tomorrow. The tomorrow they don't know. Therefore the government job that promise to pay you till you die is way go One thing I hate so much about salary work is the fact that I already know how much is coming in this month. To me its boring As a business man you have very high chance of increasing you income as any time. And if your friend is thinking about looting then I don't have any word for him or her 2 Likes |
