Please can someone survive a whole month with just 50k salary as a graduate.

I had a friend that just got employed in a big organization but he is placed on contract and 50k salary. Should he go ahead to take the Job or look elsewhere considering the deteriorating economy of Nigeria.

What's your advise on this guys.

Where you see the job abeg

EjaikreTheViper:
My brother, sometimes it is not how much you earn. It is what you decide as your principle or what I call financial culture. If you are disciplined as a young man and inculcate the habit of saving in your everyday life, you will go far. Save and invest is the motto.

We often feel that you must jam a huge amount of money to become financially successful but it is wrong. The sum of N300,000 can be your seed capital for investment and after 4 years, your business can worth more than 20 million.

Op, tell your friend to save, invest and grow. Let him stay away from parasitic young women, drugs, alcohol, partying and useless fairweather friends

And online betting plus lotto

Thanks Buddy.. I appreciate your advise

Very stvpid question. Any Graduate that can not manage #50k salary is nothing but a theif.

My Brother.. In this Nigeria situation with the hike of prices.. Fear God na

SpecialAdviser:
Survive as a word is relative in this context.

If you just eat may be twice a day, take bath, wash your clothes and avoid so many other things, yes you can survive.

Problem is that your life will be a bit restricted and you will not have to help anyone with money or carry any extra expenses. Least I forget please do not listen to church pastors that will be asking you to sow a seed.

Just be interested in yourself until God elevate you to a better job, then you can so many.

That's my point.. There are other responsibilities. Its is not that easy

Eriokanmi:
In my opinion, that friend of yours should just endure, though the salary seems small. He or she might be converted into a regular staff later. Most of the big organisations nowadays do this a lot.

The salary might be meagre but when other hidden benefits begin to show up, he'd be glad he took that job. The major problems most job seekers have nowadays is discontentment. Their mouths are so wide that they wouldn't mind earning 500k a month, as if it's so easy to create jobs. In the process, they end up at nothing. My sister inlaw started with a 40k salary as a contract staff with access bank. She was still single when she started, she joined immediately after completing her nysc. At the end of the month, hardly would she be able to save 10k cos transport would have gulped the chunk of it.

Barely 3 years into her employment with access, there was a circular from the head office, in which each departmental head was asked to recommend 2 diligent contract staff under them for an interview. There were some who had been there on contract for nearly 4 years before she joined them. Her boss recommended her. She also recommended a guy whom my inlaw met there. She said her boss lady was always strict on her, not knowing she was grooming her. In short, she passed the tests and interviews and was converted to a regular staff, through an internal job advert . She was posted to their call centre, the position she held until she joined another bank of South African bank's affiliate. I don't want to mention the name but people could guess with that description. She was posted to their call centre at ilupeju before she moved to a multinational finance company.

At times, starting very little pays because you never can tell of the robust benefits lying ahead.

Very well noted.

i wonder too oo

michael77777:
foolish question.... mtcheeeew!!.....

if you don't want to survive make you die naaa!....
so you can't survive ordinary 4weeks with 50k?


you be gp tank?

Sysdatek:


Don't draw conclusions like buhari.
There are areas in lagos you live and you get a 50k job where your monthly transport to work is 50k

So does that make you a thief?

You dey mind am. Places like ikorodu and work is in the island. Penny wise pound foolish.

Stupid question in a stupid post

I wish i can see you in person to either flog you or slap you with this nonsense

Lots of graduates that finished many years ago sef never see 20k offer and you here telling us about a fresh graduate with 50k offer and still having second thought?

Somehow i feel you purposely want to intimidate or mock alot of jobless graduate nairalanders with this stupid thread of yours cuz you obviously don't know the Drowning economy you claimed deteriorating

Delay is dangerous.

Nicholaspepe:


Pls PM me

Like I said, you won't like the job.
Plus, there are some terrible conditions attached to such jobs.
The evil conditions are
1. You will pay a registration fee of 3k (you fit beg them sha)
2. 50/50 on your first salary.

But as long as you pay the registration fee, they will find you a place.

Possible jobs for you

1. Waiter
2. Sales Representative (not marketer)
3. Secretary

If you're lucky, you might get something better than these.

Starting salary is 30-40k, subject to review depending on your place of work. Some review after 3 months while some review after 6 months

You won't like the job, but e go sha pay you.
