The old way is expiring bro.
.
.
Those graduate with meagre salaries are their own problem. We are in a JET age where you need skill(s) to supplement yourself.
.
I once worked a 50k per month job, but I considered the job thrash. I resigned with no predefined job(s). I hone my skill, I learnt from a teacher, and I am a proud tech guy today with decent compensation.
.
.
Look those few graduates that have lucrative jobs are those that have an indemand skill(s), and the companies are ready to dole out the cash on em.
.
Yes Nigeria is usless, but even with that you are not hindered to learn a skill(s) today and enjoy the blessings tomorrow.
NO PAIN NO GAIN...

I hope you factor in currency valuation.
The money earned from doing menial jobs are high in the Naira because of the foreign currency having a higher value. If you do menial jobs abroad,the person is likely to live paycheck to paycheck, remember bills, high cost of living, and taxes.
.
I am not against anyone advocating menial jobs in foreign lands, but I believe that if you know your job well and if you have an indemand skill, omor na foreign jobs go dey rush you.
.
I know people who left Naija and didnt do menial jobs, but instead got an offer, albeit they are all IT jobs.
.

My brother, get your facts right. It is not because of the exchange rate or the higher value of their currency. Most citizens of developed and developing countries earn liveable wage of which they can afford a comfortable apartment even better than lekki and Ikeja environment. They can afford to eat good foods , free health care and free education for their children and themselves, mind you Nigerian reverse is the case.

In Nigeria , you must earn at least 300 k naira to stay in two bedroom alone in lekki and Ikeja area not in a face me and face you or squating with a friendl family. The question is how many workers in nigerian earn such amount in Nigeria. If you get married and start to raise kid(s) in Nigeria then you start to feel the heat.

You will fuel your generator in nigeria, buy car with high import duties, pay NEPA bills with no light, bad roads, artificial flooding and erosion as a result of poor or no drainage, over spending on functions like wedding, birthday , burial and many unforseen spending

Menial jobs is for you to stand your feet abroad and get familiar to the work ethics and from there you can get the education , training and the required skills you will need to succeed in the environment.

Nigeria is over 190 million in population with GDP per capital of $2500, the revenue of nigeria government is around 18 billion dollars and our budget for 2019 is about 24 billion dollars and we even borrow to finance the budget where as an average country like Romania with population of of 18 million people has a GDP per capital of $12000 dollars, government revenue of 67 billion dollars in the year 2019.

Romania is for Romanians for now because they cant afford immigrants now because nigerians will have a visiting visa in the country and expect miracle and jobs. No jobs for immigrants in Romania yet they have the basics amenities for their citizens.

That is why we are a third world country and we have this entitlement mentality when we travel abroad. The US, Canada and UK has pulled the plug against nigerians because of our excessive .

Countries like Cameroon, Malawi, bostwana are now exempts for B1/B2 visa to travel to the US. Until we get our hearts together and start to ask questions about the way the country is moving , things might get worse

We are not doing well as a country. I just hope we do not misbehave in Scandinavian countries. We can not even do that because of the financial commitment for their visas .

Bro Ibro, las las na skill(s).
In Western world, craftmen with the skills are earning the cash.
.
.
Just have a skill and you will be fine.
But Ibro dont call these menial jobs, they are just skills you possess.
.
Ok if I am a Barber(Hair stylist), will you say I'm doing menial job. NO!
.
Menial jobs entails: Cleaners, Waste/Refuge parking workers, etc.
.
.
But if you are a bricklayer, hair styling, tailor or fashion designer, you ain't doing menial, but you have a skill.
.
So let's make the difference clear.


I know those paddyman.....I am just highlighting the fact that one should be ready to face the music when situations arise...It is tough being black here bro...I landed my job because of my skills, but then a menial job pays almost as much as these when accumulated, and we are immigrants who have families in Naija that must be fed....What caught my attention was when you said "You can never do dish washing", I just concluded that this one dey flex for Naija na.

Here in Finland, the salary cap in the IT field for expats with foreign certificate and experience is around 2k5 euros per month before tax in medium scale firms....But brothers here make more than that by accumulating several cleaning shifts and post delivery, some add dish Washing and are raking in over 3k5 per month...I dont want to talk about some exclusive cleaners that earn more than that...It is why you gotta know what you want here...Uber/Taxi drivers make more than career people even...But this my rough statistics is restricted to Helsinki area or maybe Tampere and Jyväskylä
