Best Paying Professional Career In Nigeria?

Consultants do anything. Its called brain work. There is audit and tax unit. You need not know anything about accounting for those. You learn on the job, also you must compulsorily enroll for ican if you are in audit or tax. The company pays for your lectures and exams, then there is business advisory unit. Those one write business plan and do strategy e.g. if Seun contacts us now that he wants to take nairaland to the next level. We write a buz plan for him bench marking with other successful forums. Search on the net and make suggestions, make it detailed and commonsensical and charge him millions for it. Its really fun, you get to learn a lot, its just that sometimes the deadlines are choking. Another catch is that if the client really likes your work they can offer you something better and you cross over to work for them.

The entry level is 1.4 - 1.9 Million depending on the standing of the company.

@uchetobi: thanks!
@blackmamba: If you have to commit a crime to make money from a career, then it's not lucrative.

@Admin,
Lucrative and profitable, it is.  Illegal or unethical, is a different issue and that's if you're caught and prosecuted.

i'm a fresh garduate and i'm into consulting. i believe it is where the money. this happen only if u can understands needs/distances(socially,economically, physicaly and otherwise) bridge gaps and u will  smile to the banks at your own pace. Imagine i got a contract to consult 4 a com. bank that needs the status of a microfinance instn of at least 100m capital base. if the deal sales through, 10 percent plus initial consulting fee of 200k of that is mine plus offer on the board and i only work at my pace.

brethren, as per the most lucrative profesion. realy i don't subscribe to any. i believe dt no profession can be more lucrative than the professional. it is what u put in that determines what u get. there poverty stricken  well qualified doctors and there are pplpe that resigned from oil companies after discovering their talents nand there are also peasants that own and live in mansions. it is all  a question of self. your creativity/ingenuity. doing the ordinary thing the extra ordinary. if u want us to talk; call me on 080 30613239 OR 027502101. thank you.

@johhnnie,

Na lie!! You just dey scope Nairalanders. You are not as 'cool' as you claim to be I bet. Think and tell us how much you are making monthly and how long that has been

I am in the oil industry and my take home is between 350k & 430k.  Please nobody should tell my boss because the information is very confidential


Why are u telling us u wan make we die u must have paid your dues for u to be there.You didnt just start with that amonut as a beginner am sure of that.

I can't imagine how "discipline and patience" will make a 15,000 naira per month salary earner wealthy.

When I started working, I was earning N12,000 monthly for 2 years. (That was in 2003). It was small, I know, for a graduate, but because my Dad taught me a few things about handling money, I didn't mind. I lived within and below my means, doing so much of savings and investment than spending. At the end of those 2 years, my net worth (as at 2005) was N923,015.23 exactly. I was not playing good offense, but I played good defense and see where it got me. Now, with my mentality, and my frugal nature, I can confidently forecast that by the time I am 40 years old, I will be wealthy in 100 million Naira percentile range, and by the time I am 65, will retire without worrying about being a bore on anybody. And certainly, the generation after me will follow in these steps because I will inculcate the culture of frugality in them.

i think that  it has to be petroleum and maybe telecommunication

 
edical and IT,

engineering is the most lucrative profession in naija. as for me it is either information technology(computer engineering) or chemical engineering.

Guys, what about Pilots- 750k per month for an F/O(Co-pilot),1.2m for  a Capt,and they fly just 3 times max a week,  isnt that cool enough, forget about  the risk,,  risk is risk,
