bros its obvious you are one of the few Nigerian Graduate that really know the worth of their BSc..@Topic,cleaning isn't a dignified job for a graduate

oyb:


the problem is that most of you are little more than dreamers with no actual grasp on reality

oyb:
a large number of people in paid employment will not leave paid employment;

oyb:
by your lame argument, a cleaner will save a large portion of hi salary and start a danfo business in four years;

oyb:
you may as well say that anyone earning a salary of over 100k will save 90% of it and then start a danfo business.

oyb:
most of you cannot even think big; which is why you see owning four danfos [ a business model that lasg will soon kill once metro comes online] as a business achievement

FriedPlantain:
As a graduate, I'd rather work in an audit firm or a small company earning 30K per month than work as a cleaner in a multinational and earn 100K as long as I enjoy what I am doing and have a higher chance of growing career-wise in it.

Bro the real worth of a B.sc in whatever career you choose is being always on the move, driving towards the goal, even if you have to pass through a path ladden with faeces and shit.


The OP has presented an offer of 80k, a very focused career minded graduate, incapacitated with no job, may not mind but go for it for like a year. Like someone stated above, he could save upto 720k in that year, then throw a chunk of like 300-500k of it into one of those solid high class professional courses in line with his career that even promises to fix you a job after you graduate.

To him it is all about his dreams and being presented with an opportunity to clean for a year to raise capital he would grab it. That is who a true graduate is. You need to read about the likes of Isaac newton and Einstein and how they picked up their dreams being jarnitors or ordinary library boys.

But after all said and done, such decisions are not really palatable. Because no matter how you look at it a graduate cleaning especially in a Nigerian society is shameful. It would a graduate who does not care anymore or one who is too focused on his dreams and has clear plan to tow that path.

what's the reality?

the large number are those who don't have entrepreneur skills only a reasonable cleaner can do that, one who got into the job with goals to achieve. Why do you think he accepted such a shitty job in the first place? To remain there for life? He only saw it as a means to an end. saving 40% can still get you to your destination. Planning matters.

isn't it better than just earning only 30k in an airconditioned office? So you mean lagos metro line will kill all other transport biz in the state? Na

FriedPlantain:
You laugh that I'd rather earn 30k as a graduate in a small company than 100k in an oil company working as a cleaner?

This is where young graduates get it wrong, everything isn't just about money, money, money. Do you agree with me that a young graduate with over 5 solid years experience in a small audit firm earning 30k has a better chance of earning 300k soon enough with his wealth of experience compared to his graduate counterpart that works as a cleaner in an oil company and has vast years of experience mopping floors and mixing detergents? He also has a higher career prospect as well.

You have a great point which can only move the less enlightened.

Let's put it this way: he earns 80k mopping floors while you earn 30k seated in an airconditioned office typing on a desktop computer.

Assuming the amount the both of you spend on transportation and feeding for every month is 20k each, he will have 60k left for savings while yours will be 10k.

60k x 12months= N720,000

10k x 12months= N120,000

What can you investments 120k in? I don't know for now. Probably something that produces little, not even up to the 30k you earn from being an auditor. I stand to be corrected.

As for his 720K, if he's not a spendthrift, he can invest in transport biz. Placing a danfo bus on the road in lagos can fetch him 80K per month asides the 60K he earns from mopping floors.

80K + 60K= N140,000

140K x 12months= N1,680,000


While he's saving N1,680,000 after 2yrs, you will only have N240K after 2yrs of your comfortable audit job.


In the 3rd year, if he's extra smart, he can add another bus to increase his margin of profit. He can continue the trend in the 4th and 5th year.


By the 5th year, he would have become an employer of labour with 4 danfo buses, each fetching an income of 80K per month asides his cleaner job of 80K per month. Don't forget about the amount he would have saved during those periods.

As for you, your sure believe of nabbing a job worth 300K might get dashed when reality hits you in the face. Even if you finally land the job, you are still going to remain a "yes sir" kind of person cos you've programmed yourself to work for others instead of employing people. Your mentality of comfort at work is one of the reasons why many youths are unemployed or not doing well in employment.

In 2007, while i was still searching for job, through an uncle I was offered an employment in ECOWAS SECRETARIAT in abuja as a TEABOY with 50k salary per month. I looked at my certificate as engineer and rejected the work. My family almost disowned me for that. In 2008 I got a better job than a TEABOY and see me today. Back to the topic, I WON'T ACCEPT THAT AS A GRADUATE .
