Would You Accept N12,000/months As Salary For A 2.1 Graduate?

Well, you have to weigh the pros and cons. ask yourself the following questions

do u have a means of sustenance e.g family willing and able to provide you food and shelter while you look for better opportunities?
can you do something more fruitful and productive with yourself in terms of financial returns if you don't accept this job?
will this job prevent you from looking for better jobs?

if your answers are yes to all of the above then you are better off without this job. but if No, then you might want to consider starting from there. there is no shame in humble beginnings.

the problem we have these days are young people with BIG wishes instead of BIG dreams. people who start small and dream big are ready to put in the mental and physical effort to make the dreams come true but most people want to have priviledges but are not ready to take the responsibilities that go with those priviledges

i started out in 2001 post NYSC as a part time computer lecturer for 5000 naira a month but i knew that was not the place for me and my answers to those questions i posed earlier were even yes at the time

there is no job security anywhere in the world not even in japan that used to give lifetime employment.

your 2.1 is no guarantee of anything, i expect that in four years you wrote many tests with other graduates, if you were not able to secure those jobs, that shld tell you that maybe you are not as good as you imagine you are and you need to keep working on yourself

don't forget the adage that says, 'to continue to be in front in a race, you need to run faster!'

Excellent, so you actually found a job that pays you what you ought to be earning.

at your age, i agree it might be a challenge to get an entry level job so you might want to start prep'ing yourself for leadership roles (supervisor, manager jobs etc) if you ever decide you want to work as an employee again


very good,

Keep it up

i have heard and seen people collect such but yurkkkk!!!


never ever me.

I'D rather stay at home.

What would i say? It's so sad that a graduate of 2.1 is offered 12k per month. What is happening in this Country, people with lesser degree get the best jobs. I would just suggest you try and get a job that would give you at least 1year experience and then change your job.

I started working in 2000 and my first job paid me 8k but i started, though it was difficult yet i had to do it because of the experience after that job i have change jobs from 2001 till date more than 6time and now i earn reasonably high income.

I would just say you give it a try just for the experience.

@makemoney
i think its because you are 32. Try to borrow from relatives,friends et al and start something for yourself. I'm sure you will employ someone in a couple of years. But, don't pay people 12k per month o.
@viceb
quit. 40k is shits. when will you buy a brand new car with that. Go and do masters or better still get another place. If u aint old like makemoney, u can get places that will give you 40*4 for starters.

i got such offer with a lot of insult which i kept enduring , but later had to quit , it' actully a lebanese company, this people use nigerians and give them peanut , if i become president someday  i will personally supervise their activities. fundamentally i pity our girls as they are in this shit.
