There are specialists fields that pay. Don't follow the crowd career - customer service, teller, hr, admin etc. Look for special skill areas especially IT, digital, infotech etc.

There are people in sales and marketing that make close to 2 million monthly based on their commission on closed deals and retainership.

The 2m you are talking about, is it fixed or commission based? There are 2 different things. Commission is different from salary.

your graduate friend is roofing his house from a meagre 35k earning? He must have another cool source of income you know nothing about.

............

@Op.. 42k isn't bad, yet not good enough.

Bills would come, sort only in the order of priority. You can't completely get over with this.

Never take a Loan!

Cut your expenses according to your salary.

Make sure to save at least 2k every month.

HE HAS NOTHING ....DONT SAY NEVER IF U R NOT THERE ..IT HAPPEN EVERYWHERE IN THOSE AREA....ASK UR FRIEND IN UR VILLAGE ..HE WILL TELL U HE HAS A HOUSE ALREADY FROM HIS FURNITURE OR TAILORING BUSSINESS AND U R IN LAGOS IN BANK THINKING U R THE KING IN RENTED APARTMENT .....CONTINUE OOO KING SOLOMON

Manage it or try unemployment.

I started my professional career in 2014 on a salary of 25k. I needed to learn new skills which were not taught in school and the experience of working in a corporate environment.

Six months down the line it was increased to 50k because I proved myself. Another six months (2015), it doubled and has continued to grow since then. Today, my tithe (if I dey pay am sef) is higher than the 42k we are talking about here but I started from somewhere. I now have four years of active experience and a developed skill set.

If 42k is not enough for you, TRY UNEMPLOYMENT which pays ZERO as salary.
Where you a graduate? What skill did acquired? I want to learn

Some banks have automated same on their mobile bank apps (eg Diamond Bank). There are other FinTech apps you can use to like ARM's Payday Investor, Piggbank.ng and others but please do your due dilligence before signing up to their services
