Pidggin:
Knowing your salary will be paid at the end of the month helps you plan unlike in business where you cannot tell.

My financial struggles of the past forced me into having the mindset outlined by the poster, hahn. It's now a huge risk to be fully employed without one thinking outside the box. It's a monumental gamble. With a job loss or one huge financial disaster, one's thrown into hunger and deep frustration.

The information age requires an entirely different approach to the acquisition of wealth. One has to think far into the future.

I'll recommend Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant for anyone willing to understand this thread better.

The hard truth on the flipped side of the coin...as a graduate earning meagre salary compared to not-so-literate artisans who earn more, you stand a chance at better planning and execution of projects than the artisans who lack formal requisite experience at putting scarce resources to optimum use.

With the right attitude, Eskimos are most likely to buy ice from you than from the artisans.

That's the difference bro

This article is so wrong I dont even know where to begin

1. The average employee typically works a 5 day week or roughly 20 days in month. I completely disgree with the premise of the OP's dubious calculations, but even if the calculations were grounded in some sort of logic, shouldn't the OP be dividing by 20 instead of 30?

2. The OP also misses the point by comparing an employee and his steady income to Hawkers,Truckers etc with their irregular cash flow. Again I doubt the veracity of his stats with regards to the earnings of hawkers, truckers and co, but even if the stats were true, The OP still fails to consider that even though the Hawker could earn 2000 Naira in a day, he/she is not guaranteed an income of 120k per month unlike the Banker

The crux of the OP's assertion is Business Owners have the potential to earn more than employees. The OP fails to consider the level of risk that these entrepreneurs are exposed to.

For the vast majority of people, it is better to go to work and be guaranteed your 300k monthly salary jejely, than to go and out hustle with no true knowledge of when the next paycheck is coming.

Something doesn't sound right about this. For example, In the light of the subject, the graduate is an arm of govermrnt so does it mean the private workers must consider helping them too as much as they are helping the government?

"Profits are better than salaries; Salaries earn you a living, profits earn you a fortune"

what you just typed is all bullshit, my mum makes close to 200,000 as a level 15 officer working on a govt job that an average of 6000 per day if divided by 30 and 10000 per day if divided by 20 but the monthly 200,000 remain dsame, and she works 7 hours daily monday to friday

Now I, as an undergraduate i work in the transport business and i earn an ever sure 8000 naira per day after paying my assistants and working for around 7 hours also 6 days a week, and due to the fact that i still live with my family i tend to save each moneyvi make per day in the bank, that about 50000 per week, and about 208,000 per month and my monthly earnings have never been less than195,000 per month before and am in full control of my business and i earn more than my parents who have been working in the civil service for about 25 years.

Nigeria is a gold mine graduates and youths arent just willing and always myopic to see it they are thousands of ways to make it without waiting or looking for a white collar job around.

You can work hard at your own business in Nigeria with due diligence and still fail spectacularly. Nigeria is not conducive for starting and running a business. My post is merely explaining how people prefer the certainty and relative safety of a monthly paycheck to the uncertainty of striking out on your own in the badlands of Nigeria.

Do you own a Nigerian business? Did you find setting it up, funding and running it as simplistic as the OP portrays?

Koolking:


Explain what you mean Sir

Op u have a point but that doesn't mean u should condemn or discourage salary earners.Everyone cannot be an enterpreneur u know and every entrepreneur needs an employee anyway.some people are just career people who aren't interested in owning a biz.
Furthermore, there are different kinds of jobs,u can't tell me someone working in shell or Mobil or a pilot earns peanuts arent they employess toothese are jobs that the allowance and bonuses alone is enough to build u a correct house in this Lagos..not to even now add take home, profit sharing etc
Sometimes too u need to get some professional working experience to be able to successfully manage ur own biz eventually.so oga let people also do what suits them.

ePlanet:



R u rather advising the soon to be graduates to; instead of creating jobs n empowering lives,they should fold their arms, carrying files from one company to d other or submitting numerous applications online ( burning their lil cash on data bundle) n not getting called for interviews?

U were created to create n enrich lives not to aquire n hoard.
Entrepreneurship is the way forward.
Help the country help others.

For every penny oil company pays u, they suck ur blood.
Why wud u seek to work in an oil company when u can own D Oil Company?
Know that IF YOU DON'T BUILD YOUR DREAM, OTHERS WUD PAY YOU PEANUTS TO HELP BUILD THEIRS.
