Bros please calm down.
I'm in the UAE. Abeg na which kind factory work dem dey pay 400k? I ain't seen any here yet. Factory job 400k?

Mind you I'm an engineering graduate. I work with an engineering firm and I ain't getting that much salary.

Check that your friend well. I have seen so many stories that touch. Even I'm looking at one right now.

It's Naira 400,000 per month and not US$400,000.

how many lawyers receive 400k monthly?

Help me ask them o, how many even get 50k in a month, if he knows what he is doing he can achieve the two, if the factory job is true do it but have your law school in mind and go when you feel settled, they don't catch late comer or have an age limit.

Goddys I can categorically tell u that the hiGHEST my law firm pays is 36,000 naira a month. i am no longer in Nigeria and my work is a non law related work, but you can easily earn 300,000 naira in 2 weeks depending on your work hours. So bro law is not so booming, except you lucky.

As a student i make like 2400 dollars every month in u.s ....lol. But after govt tax, health bill, parking, this one, eating expensive food, wearing expensive clothes, paying for heat, saving for 1/4 of my fees (since im actually on assitantship) etc and etc. The money has almost finisehd. So that 1200 dollars u think is big money is actually really not. If u fall sick peren in the u.s, and u get admitted for one week. Only God knows im sure u may pay ur 3 months salary to sort it out even with having health insurance.

Please I need an advice of experienced peeps here.
A friend of mine working in Dubai wants to link me up with a factory job of 400k salary, and also I am due to partake in one year vocational training in Nigeria Law school that would enable me to practice as a lawyer in Nigeria.
Now I'm left in the dilemma of accepting his offer to link me up with the job or proceed to Nigeria Law School to qualify as a lawyer in Nigeria

Please what do I do?

Speeddial, you're offering really bad advice.

A $1200 job in Nigeria is not the same as a $1200 job in Dubai. Sure, people earn at least N500,000 monthly here in Nigeria, and with the exchange rate, it is almost the same thing $1200. This same people are complaining about the cost of living in Nigeria becoming expensive.

Now Dubai is not Nigeria. It is a richer economy with better infrastructure. You know why? Because they have a working government. And you know what makes a government work? Sufficient revenue. Now you know some of the sources of that revenue? Tax. You will be taxed at every corner. You will have to handle all sorts of bills to live comfortably; lighting, rent, water, heating, insurance. You will handle your own transport and feeding. All this and more on $1200 and you still want to become a millioniare.

Even Americans who earn $40,000 (N16,000,000) per year complain about piling bills and debts. And it is $1200 that'll turn you to a millionaire overnight abi?

Debbys, there's hardly any career prospect for a factory worker. There's more in becoming a lawyer. It's best to think of your future and tailor your decision around it. The question you should be asking yourself is this; "Where do I want to be in years to come?" When you figure that out, you should be able to make the right choice.
what he said

i have lawyer friends with offices in lekki and victoria island. you have to be good and connected. but you can make it. when the vice president , a lawyer declared his assets he had like 3 million dollars. can you make that in a factory in dubai ?

If u convert my pay in dollars to naira it's over 1.1 millon naira as a student but my rent out of it is like 190k monthly. Heating is there. feeding is there. Tax of about 240k monthly. By the time u remove all those money, the 1.1 million naira aint so much as it seems. But if u were earning 1.1 million naira in Nigeria monthly as salary, under 2 years if ure serious u can complete ur house and start living there. But here, with that kind of pay 10 yrs youre still on the hustle. We will tell una and tell una but una no go hear word.

Character is very important in life. Without character, one is reduced to a nonentity. Without character, one cannot go far in life. Without character, one is no more advanced than an animal. I think you need character.

guy go to dubai do the job for two months and see how it goes.if it favours you,then u can stay. If it does not favour you,then u take the next available flight back to nigeria and continue your law school. The reason why u want to be a lawyer is fitst to make money and take care of yourself and secondly for name and prestige.

You can't leave till the end of your contract once you start. He won't even have access to his international passport!

@Poster
Go to Law school. Don't become an ordinary labourer struggling in extreme Dubai heat. Cost of living is high for foreigners. There are some Nigerian professionals there too but you require some years of experience to be recruited as such. Lots of scammers pretending to be agents too. Many of the young Nigerians there are not finding things easy. I felt so sad talking to a few guys who went with high hopes and ended up as hustlers. A word is enough for the wise.
