Square Pegs In Round Holes by olagboye(m): 4:17pm On Oct 25, 2008
hello everyone. ive been away from this site for some time but now im back. ive notced that most nigerian workers dont really love the job they are doing but instead of enjoying, they are enduring their jobs. it is rather sad that most of us are working for money but we do not have job satisfaction. if you understand what i mean, please, respond to this discussion.

This is an interesting topic.

Believe it or not about 50-70% of people in nigeria and worldwide actually have a job and not a career.

a job is something one goes into because it pays the kind of money the person wants or its the only employment the person can find

a career is something one goes into because one has a passion, calling, liking, and desire for.

meaning if money is not a problem they will go for a career , if not they will go for a job!

beleive it or not some pepole actually like the duties and work environment of a soldier. while some like the duties and environment of a bank.

some people have also been discouraged from certain careers because its stigmatized as low.


think about it , would you read the newpaper article about an artist or would you read the newspaper article of a politician.

another viewpoint is that not everybody can be a banker, some people have to be lawyers, some doctors, some yellow fever/policemen , some accountants, some engineers, some politicians, some pastors and religious leaders, some, some professors/teachers, some scientific researchers, some IT/computer, some non profit workers, some consultants, some entreprenuers/buisiness owners, some technicians, some messengers/clerks etc
