You guys are funny.

Even a fresh doctor out of school doing internship earns a bit more than 200k.

So he should go abroad without qualifications? To do what jobs? Na so e easy for the abroad.

When he can just focus and finish his medicine, go abroad much more easily, start working immediately and make serious money.

Some of you should desist from giving advice on matters you don't know much about.

Even for naija here, e get doctors wey dey make millions per month with international organisations.

He should never lose that MBBS.
give your own advice please sir and leave me alone

Don’t mind them.


Imagine people advising him to give up on his medical education to chase freelance money. No be juju be that?

I am not sure any medical student will be asking for such advice.
The stress behind securing admission into med school alone is enough to answer the question.
Then again if indeed you are a medical student, what year are you in? Maybe 1st or 2nd because anyone who has sat any of the major exams in med school is extremely unlikely to be asking this question.
Unless things have changed so much.

Hello everyone,
I am in dire need of your honest advice. I am a fan of Nairaland but created this because of identity.
I am a medical student studying medicine in one of the public universities in Nigeria. When the ASUU strike newly started, I started looking for things to do and clients to work for. Fortunately, I got two clients who pay me about 200K per month since April. It varies; last month, I earned 199K, this month will be 220K+ if I work harder.
I have saved most of the money to write professional exams.
However, my school still conducts lectures through Zoom and we have not had rest since the strike started. We do have classes from 8am till 5pm except on some days. I am about three months back and our test is coming up soon.
Please do you advise I quite my 200k/per month and focus on my studies seeing that i have lots of materials to read and prepare for my test?
P.S: I have tried balancing but the freelance work is highly demanding. What do i do please?

Take a break from the freelance jobs and focus on your upcoming exams. If you fail out of medical school freelance jobs won't help you then.

Please confidently and sincerely show me a fresh doctor out of school earning 200k WITHOUT connections and I would give you a very big handshake for speaking on what you claim to know

Yes! He can save up and go out of the country to still study this same medicine

Is it after studying in that country your called Nigeria then he begins to earn peanut?

I know medical doctors who earn 80k, 100 or 120k

You are saying 200k

He is not a doctor and he is making more than or equal to a doctor

Please let him do what pleases him

This is my own opinion

You are also entitled to yours and you definitely have low insight

Don't think you know it all

Lol, ma'm, my school's Teaching hospital pay their houseofficers a little below 240k.

This is not heresy, you can take it to the bank. Some of our seniors who were recently inducted, were retained as houseofficers. smiley

Like people have said, outsourcing the job is your best bet for now. Money is important, Med school is equally important. Besides you can't bank on something that's not really stable.

Wish you good luck.

PS: Don't leave Med school for freelancing ooo.

It does not have time. It just requires me writing blog posts and articles. Problem is that it consumes my entire thought that I lost enthusiasm for my books. I just need to work hard to start reading again. I am in clinical year.

Bro Las Las it boils down to getting paid.

After your medical school you will still work to get paid.
You are already on this one to get paid too.

Consider the pros and cons based on what you want and make your decision.

I am almost done with schooling. But ASUU strike keeps prolonging the years of graduation. And one also have to consider the years to spend in internship and NYSC.

In a normal school, I should be on strike. But we have been having classes since February. It just ended last month and now we are to prepare for our test. My problem is how to revive a dead reading culture and balance it with my jobs.
