Hello fellow forumites, help me make a decision.
I have been selected for N-tech software program of the federal government, waiting for verification and training. Being that i am working in one of the food companies in Lagos but underpaid when my qualification is put into consideration, and that I am working in a very toxic environment, I am considering resignation to take on the software training. I believe it is a necessary skill I need to boost my career and enable me diversify. Few friends I have told about it have diverse opinions, while some are skeptical about leaving the job due to scarcity of jobs in Nigeria, some are encouraging me to go on.

Now, I am confused on what to do, I need your sincere advice on what to do.

Thank you in advance

If u can do both, fine!

If you cannot, then just try and do both. 99.99% of beneficiaries on NPower have other side hustle

Follow your heart. Don't look at the present. Look at the future.

If going to learn the software will keep you self employed, happy and fulfilled in the long run, then resign.......but not until it's sure you're starting the training. Government can change anytime.

If the company you're now is not actually the career you hope to chase, then resign. All in all, don't resign till you're onboarded and enrolled in NPower.

Don't mind the fraudst called NPower. I didn't get notice for the training,so I emailed them asking why only to be told that not everyone who passed the test got invite to the training. You can imagine the stupid country. I am stuck to my job
