No job is shameful as long it's legal and puts food on your table.

[s]The goal is to be rich and not to look rich[/s]

Fouck that statement, this is Nigeria, yiu can buy respect, business deals with people with the way you dress and the people whom you associate with.

So keep up the struggle, keep people around you in suspense, but do not ever ever brag or claim what you do not have, it would definitely hunt you

People will just see any useless quote on the net and take it like it's life....very annoying thing

Op. Continue deceiving yourself... If that is what packaging means to you.

Pretending to be what you are not... Rather than being yourself.

Who cares what others think about your job.

Inflating your ego.. Rather than living your life.

Continue.. Let's see how it ends. Don't forget to brief us here.

Fake Life.. Is no life.

lol


as a forex trader and crypto guy

Akalia:
Keep doing what you are doing bro, it's called ppackaging. Don't blow your cover Abeg.

Funny but true!! Your last statement makes me laugh!

They are to render a big financial support. They have studied my capabilities and agreed that I'm 100% capable. But there is somewhere like an academic society where people present opinions, argue, agree and disagree on certain issues meant for very learned persons. I use to outshine them in this place, and is the reason why they are willing to part with their money to sponsor something that looks like an upgrade. Take for instance, telling them that I'm a bus conductor will reduce my influence in the forum where we meet. You know that bus conductor will surely curse people in a day, or if you say you carry loads at building sites, you won't have the energy to argue saying, "And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness--secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name."(Isaiah 45:3) You can prove that you have enough knowledge to utilize non-conventional feed resources to raise pigs that will pass carcass quality test during meat inspection, and be bold enough to say you presently hunt for scrap metals. It's not everything that can be revealed on the Internet because you will not understand some of them. If you are a Christian, and I start using Hadiths to prevent a case; you won't understand.

what If you accidentally meet one of them or you met someone that knows one of them, that will be devastating..... Tell them your side hustle and it will bring out the integrity and the willingness to work even when you have nothing and don't ever conclude for people we have different reason of thinking.... Inform them before they are aware... If they will help they will surely do and if not then life Continues remember when there is life there is hope......

My advice to you is that you can actually tell them you have guys working for you on that particular job you dont want them to know you are doing considering that they might loose there trust if they know.So you just tell them you Provide the services by getting guys to execute it for you and you can aswell do other project by getting people to do it.shikena

If packaging will get you your desired financial commitment from your neighbours by all means continue but never let go of integrity, always speak the truth or keep quite.
If asked what you do modernize it
Example I deal in palm oil and raw food stuffs,when asked what do you do?I tell them I deal in oils but specialize in varities of cooking oil like palm oil e.t.c if your a shit packer you could say your job involves there the conservation of man waste.
I do not support anything illegal but as long as it is legal it is defendable.

Fake it till you make it. I support the op. People want the truth but they can't handle it. If the op opens up on everything about what he's doing then he's done. Why do people borrow a friend's car because they want to get a contract? This is a contract they can execute but they will never get it if they don't show their client they won't run away with the money; they must look like they don't really need the money for the client to have serious confidence in them.

no, he should start dressing like the poor man he is

Ayesa:
Please kindly tell us the kind of job you called shameful job such that you are not proud of it. I can be of help

I can send PM and explain.

my elder bro once told me about a man who lives in his area in lagos and shared his story with him. long story short , he got sacked from his job and he had little change on him and big business plan. The money he had can't run the business, he therefore went ahead to buy different types of nice suits and shoes from the money he had . within few months he had many investors in his business and got back on his feet all because he packaged himself for his investors with little to no money on him unknowingly to the investors. Its about believing in yourself and the last time I checked its no crime. just keep doing what you do till everything works out.

No matter how much you package, you still have to speak and people still have to Listern. What we do with package, is trying to look the part as oppose to being the part.

Packaging says am a finish product. Think of any goods at any stage of packgaing and it has ungone processing. Know your craft first detaily. That is the process. You can be dirty and ugly while learning. It does not matter. Provided you know were you are going. Because if you go into packaging and people start seeing you as "knowing" or a finished product. You may start seeing yourself as such with time. And may not have time to go back and process yourself properly.

Think of all the girls and guys out there who use this concept. How are they fairing? Simply expand it to a wider orientation and you may start to see yourself in the picture. Thats if you are honest.

My advice to you is your a young man. Cool down and learn for all the right reason and you will be fine.

Cool down and learn.

I'm not gainfully employed, but if you meet me, you will think I'm earning a fat salary somewhere.

A plan has been on the table for the past 12 months and is expected to take off fully by August 2018. Finance is the only problem, and these people told me that I will cross the financial bridge when I get there. They are very certain of other factors on my part. The problem now is that they stop once in a while to ask, "What are you doing to earn the living at present?" To answer this, I use to tell them that I do the job I was trained for in University, looking for clients daily. We all know that this thing is not lucrative, and as a matter of fact, if a client calls me for a job today, I may not receive another call for a job in the next 2 months.

I have a job I can do to earn money needed for basic necessities, but it is very shameful to hear that a graduate does it. I have to look big if I want to keep earning the respct of these people. It's like a building contractor that borrows money to buy a car because clients will have faith in him and trust him with their money.

Now these people are suspecting that I look good, and that if what I do currently can make me look this good, why hatching a different plan? If I tell them the shameful job I do apart from what I'm trained for, they will think that my plan is primarily based on escaping hunger. And if that thought crosses their mind, the plan on the table can be rendered useless within minutes.

Now how will you advise me concerning this situation in a bid to douse the tension created by their suspicion?

bro it means you are destined to be rich by God......... this one goes beyond packaging... keep hustling and praying....God go pick one day....

just come clean... Ya doing yahoo

Quit the whining bro, is it the pay you need or the dignity? If it's legit and provides for your needs, then you're good, you don't need to please anyone. I know people who scavenge at refuse heap, at the close of the day, they were good clothers, put on perfume, go home, no one knows them at home and what they do for a living..

deepwater:
OP your post was the last I read last night and the first I read this morning, still I can not figure out your point exactly. Your talk they go jaga jaga, just when I think I am understanding you, you jump to a completely different line.

Perhaps you ways are jaga jaga, so big people around you do not feel comfortable so they ask you all the time - What do you do for a living

Wat is jaga jaga ?

LastMumu:
I'm still trying to understand the intent behind the thread. As much as what I can deduce from OP's post, the question he is asking us is rhetorical.

The Op is Bored....

Shame? Hunger is no respecter of anybody.

Take a job as an English Teacher, that's if the pupils will understand you. You are not coherent

@emboldened
Bro!
People aim higher.
That you're comfortable in your present state doesn't mean you shouldn't aspire for more.
Let them know in as much as it seems everything is going well for you, you're not yet satisfied with the height you've attained. You'll still need their financial support to boost the plan on ground.

Don't blow your cover
Go on ahead with the packaging whilst seeking for a better life.
All will soon fall in place

Bro next tym they ask you...tell them you are a freelancer (pertaining to the course you did). Freelance is the right technical definition.

In addition, you are doing freelance for now because you are yet to get permanent employment which you're hoping to get soon.

Simple! That's it.

I understand every bit of ur statement.. u intelligent bro.. Even d bible says my people perish cos dey lack wisdom... its nt dishonesty, it's application of wisdom..suppress ur weak syd an work on d strong side,

freshkik:


i actually did get it, but i still went through to still be sure n its the same.

i actually understand the Op and i do understand your point dear, but don't just agree with only 2 points you stated

1.) u said there is no legitimate job that is shameful , well actually there are mane esp in 9ja

2.) you said he should be bold enough to state anything he does for a living when ask, ....theoretically well maybe, but stuffs don't work like that in the real world, how ll you advice him to present that on the table straight forward when it's gonna be detrimental to his opportunities..... as far as he isn't lying, no p, even God sef go vex for am.

i gave some examples in my previous mssg, which you prolly didnt get, but i'll still give one.

1,) "C.V" -if 2 engineering graduate are applying for a JOB in an oil and gas firm, 1 graduates with a 1st class and the other with a 2nd class-lower and they both meet
some one that specializes in writing CV, .....this is what a good CV writer ll do,- [the one with a 1st class degree ll have something like this "I GRADUATED WITH A 1ST CLASS DEGREE FROM SO N SO UNI... " while the one with a 2.2 will get something like "I GRADUATED WITH A B.Eng FROM SO N SO UNI... " n more interest placed on his skills n experience ]

--can you spot the difference 1 class is a strong point so its stated... while 2.2 is actually kinda a disadvantage n detrimental to the student's chance of getting that job and so its omitted. n his skills n experience is highlighted more

--- its not dishonesty dear

[n just to clarify something, him having the ability to present n show case more of his stronger side (i.e his superior opinions in d whatsapp group) while suppressing his weaker side (i.e his present job in this situation) is a form of packaging too, same with the CV example i just gave).
well if you still don't get point den i guess we gat 2 different 'realistic' opinions bout that, and i respect yours

Pearl05:


You didn't get the content well. Go through it again. I'm not against packaging, but being ashamed of what puts food on the table. Dignity in legitimate labour.

everybody is struggling to make you understand simple thing you they do strong head, you know how many 2.1 graduates are security men in banks and oil firms, even though some of them earn ''more than some one man business accountant'', if you meet a good looking brother in church that tells you he is a security man and wants to marry you, will you follow him? meanwhile maybe the guy that gave you a lift last time might be a driver.

I thought I would see something like Hushpuppy b4
