Thank you for the advice so far. I really do appreciate it. With all these being said, I think I'll go for the teaching job.
.You can take the two jobs.Since the marketing job is based on commission, it means much of your time will not be required in their office. So you use your spare time after your teaching job and weekends. Trust me, you may end up thanking God for making this decision. All you need to do is to see the marketing job as your side hustle, with hard work, you will get the benefits attached to the marketing job while enjoying your salary as a teacher.

Dear OP, I'm right in the same shoes with you, somedays i lose interest in both the teaching and marketing and i feel like crying.

life has not been sweet.

Chai, may the prosperity of those leaders who are making policies to keep or youth under financial bondage and mediocrity, turn into penury before their very lifetime. May their children be their nightmare and their wealth their mystery. Those who drove us here, those who are driving us now and those who have plan of driving us to this position will not be spared.
I am touched that a job of 25k monthly salary ( i.e. lesser than $50 monthly) is what is demanding national deliberation in this nation.
Anyway this is my advice. The real estate job will frustrate you but it will drill tenacity, zeal and drive into you. Making real estate sales is not easy. Remuneration might not be regular but if you eventually pull a good hit, you can redifine your dream from there.
As for the teaching job, you can stay a few a career. Although the income might be steady (if the management is faithful) but with 25k, you will soon realize that what gulps your salary is more than transport and house rent. You have dreams and some unbudgeted responsibilities to service.
Best bet, take both. You can be doing real estate marketing as side biz but take up the school job.
My final and golden advice is this, 'give yourself a timeline to progress exponentially or abandoned either or both positions'. Dream big!

Thank you sir. �
I'm in same shoes as the OP!

Teaching job - depends on the area and the subject. If Lagos, you might add private tutorship to it. You might end up earning high.

Marketing gives you opportunity to go about and probably meet a better opportunity


BTW, I have taught before and my pay was 25k during goodluck's tenure. 25k was not enough then. I wonder how it will serve now that buhari has taken over.

While I was teaching, I got private teaching jobs but before I knew it, I got a better job and I left everything teaching. While in my new place of work, I discovered that education is actually enslaving graduates more if you have no connection. At that point, I planned going into business and today I'm happy I did.
I'm happy for you as you find happiness in your business. I'm planing to leave the 8 to 5 slavery Please do you have a I dea I can venture into with 400k

Why don't you go for a marketing job that pays you more than commission only and again you don't need to be walking around to sell anything or convince anyone. Marketing has been simplified now and yet you make as much as you can for yourself.

Work smart not hard people, it does not even stop you from doing other things or job.

A word is enough...

Good day everyone, hope our day went well.
I want your honest opinion on a issue bothering me.

So recently I got a teaching job that pays 25k per month, this job also comes with a free accommodation, a stone throw from the school(which means no transport fare). I was offered this accommodation due to the fact that my place is very far from the school.
Also, just today, a friend got a marketing job in a popular real estate company who only pays based on commission meaning no customer, no payment, but it comes with weekly stipends for transport. This has left me at crossroads presently and I'm not sure of the best decision to take right now. Please I need your advise...

Take the teaching job, use that opportunity to read and and continue improving yourself for better opportunities.
Marketing job on commission with transport money?? See, u will regret the day you were born by the time you look like ex convict after 3 weeks.....your clothes will fade, u will sweat under sun, your shoes will chop off....plus the insults u will receive on the injury

How much is that?? For how long will they tolerate you if u don't make a sale?? Will that be enough for feeding and transportation?? Marketing involves a lot of movement. I have been there before.
I believe the spare time you will have can be used for side hustle. I bet the private school job will not give you the space to use your creative potentials

As in the thing weak me,

25k per month.....chai!

This country's level of poverty is disheartening...

Why should an adult be earning 25k per month..
A single guy earning less than 300k per month in this country is broke....
Let's be fair, how do you want to live life....when I mean live, i don't mean exist...
Live life, eat decently, dress decently, drive a moderately decent car, pay Bills and house rent and furnish your apartment with extra money to do a vacation at least once a year......with nothing less than 300k per month, you can't live a decent life in nigeria.

Poverty is a ripple effect, it destroys dreams, changes focuses....how can one think right ? When u havent even eating...how can the nation develop when the citizens are impoverished

25k a month? The thing is, in real estate Marketing the commission is unlimited and it takes the grace of God to make big inflow but then, you must have the product knowledge and skills to seal deals. It might takes months to make sales if you can endure. No connection no better job in this country for 80% of graduate, may God help us. Choose wisely bro!

It depends on your location. What do you think people can't do without in your location and are not readily available?
As for me, I loved to venture into transport, food, energy and communication. Bad economy does not affect those areas much.

Think of what you can start with your available capital. And please, don't use all your capital for the business so u can fall back on something if it doesn't work. Remember, business is risky and do not resign from your job until the business has started picking. So, your job is your plan B and your business plan A.

Warning: Don't rush into a business without doing thorough research about the business. The risks involved, ease of sourcing goods, etc.

I can't tell u a particular business because I don't know your area and may have not been there.

Nobody should be earning 25k per month. It's not fair embarassed


But the reality is, people earn far lesser than that per month here in Nigeria.

I get your point bro, you could see where I wrote that it does not even stop him from doing other things. I am still involved in other things myself but what I told him is what I would tell any member of my family looking for a job. Marketing pays more, not just the money you make but the links and connect you have which is immeasurable.

My advise to anyone, whatever you do please add marketing to it(not the one you walk in the sun to hawk goods and all). I pray God opens our eyes in this dwindling economy.

From experience, I would advice you to go for the marketing job.

Many go into teaching to escape poverty, but if you are not called as a teacher, you will be frustrated. Teaching job can be very frustrating, especially if you have no business in the classroom.

Marketing is hard no doubt, but With God's favour, you can do much better financially.
