@ sweettonyx,

I 100% agree with you. Since he needs this money badly, he should go for the banking job and no, he won't be sacked if he doesn't meet his full target as i have friends that are bank marketers, besides it will add to his job experience when he eventually leaves plus the distance is also great so no traffic or money to spend on transport which equals to more savings in the pocket.

There's no short cuts in life.

The only thing that will make you a success when the going gets tough, is your passion, it makes you tough.

Be smart enough and courageous enough to push ahead, don't you think it's too easy to simply be stuck with 140k. it'll be fun, kicking it again with 60k, and seeing yourself, your passion take you to 600k, 6M and 6B, maybe 6T, only passion, and what's passion, DREAm vision.

140k is too cheap, in fact, if they offered you 1.4M per month, you should turn it down, it ain't worth it, you are following another man's dream,

Anyone ever thought a bank belonged to someone who was passionate abt it, did you ever think abt that?, I mean, a case study was: Bello Osagie starting from scratch UBA, only the passion made it what it's today, maybe this guy, is losing out on another great slumberger (founded by a Nigerian), just because of a meagre 140k.

Relax, push with your passion, but always put your thinking cap on while you passion makes you fight back when pushed down, don't be stupid, dislike that, be passionate, and develop your skills with your brains, in tact, !!

It's better he goes for the banking Job first. Every sane person knows what banks offers. He should still keep his eyes on the better engineering job he desires. He should start with that for now.
Thanks

I have a number of friends who are engineering graduates but ended in the bank. From our discussions and my observations of their lifestlyes, I know for sure that they are not doing badly. One of them even borrowed me 50k of recent. However, one thing that I also found out is that they are all on the look-out for an engineering job. But months after months; years after years it keeps getting more and more difficult for them to get the job of their dream. Simply because of their experience/age ratio. They cannot settle for an entry level job in engineering but certainly don't have the experience for intermediate/senior level. Believe me guys, its too easy getting trapped in the system. One of them even have plan to go abroad for his masters perhaps that will brighten his chances of getting a good engineering job. But as of now he is still stuck with the bank.

I have been lucky from the very begining, so I'm happy with my engineering job especially when my folks tell me what they put up with doing what they're not passionate about.

Even though I started with N20k/month, now I earn a modest seven (7) digits salary after tax per annum which from my calculation is about twice my friend's salary and I close at 4:00pm (also no saturday work!!) to go home to my family while my guys can't even think of going home until accounts have been balanced even if it means staying till 8:00pm.

Some guys like oyb have made good comments at the begining of this thread. I'll say to my brother to follow that advice.
