What an unwise decision. As a graduate, my first job was a cleaner at a hotel with a pay of #30k monthly, before it later increased to #32k... I now work for a bank at entry level, and I don't even collect up to #150k per month yet. Life na jeje...

how much is enough for a fresh graduate with no experience?

It depends on your exposure to money. A very broke fresh graduate can take up any job even if it’s 50K. But minimum fresh graduate salary should be 250K.

I cannot take up that job, N150,000 monthly salary is too small!

Last year, a fresh graduate rejected the job I got him

I asked him to take the job for 6 months so that he can gather experience for his next job, but he didn't listen

He is still at home trusting God

I have had to advise a lot of graduates and professionals regarding whether to take up a role where the salary is small.

Some think the salary is belittling and not up to their worth.

I have also seen a lot of people on social media advising graduates not to settle for less which I disagree.

Your decision depends on whether you have a job at hand or not.

I believe it's better to accept a job with low salary than sitting at home to do nothing.

Once the salary can cater for your feeding and transport, you are fine.

No experience is a waste and no matter how bad a job is, you will learn something even if it is tolerance and perseverance.

You have an experience to point to.

You can't ask for a lion share (Salary) with a fish brain (no experience)

At the earliest days of my career,

I was living in Mowe -Ibafo axis, Arepo to be precise, working at Yaba and the salary was small,

I do wake up as early as 4:30am to enjoy cheap transport to Ojota

And BRT to Yaba were cheaper compared to 14 seater Bus.

Then, I do take standing in the BRT bus because it is cheaper than taking a seat

Infact standing was my hobby ��

I will get to the office 6am and wait till 8am when other staff will resume.

The pay was small, I worked as late as 8pm but the experience was BIG and worth it.

Later, I joined another company with double salary.

The rest is history today,

If you are in doubt of taking a job because of the pay, accept the offer,

Give your best, learn as much as you can, don't get carried away and keep your eye on your goal.

Remember, if you are too big to do small things, you will be too small to do big things

Do you agree?


Yes I agree.

I rather stay at home and learn DEFI, than take up a job of 200k=$300 that will stress my life. Especially when it isnt the job I have a passion for.

When I read through your statement I knew you were lying heavily.

Both standing and sitting you pay the same amount for ticket to enter.

BRT never charges different fair for sitting and standing.

Maybe she meant the red buses, some people call them BRT just like the official BRT

150k and someone said it's too small? some people are just "born with a golden spoon in their mouth". When some of us are looking for Jobs that will keep us preoccupied and busy.

May 2023 be nice to all of us seeking for jobs

IyaTola God will reward you for creating job awareness and opportunities for many on this forum.
you've said it all dear, this life no balance, imagine someone that graduated from convenant uni going for a job of 150k lol.... there's class to everything, the rich never think less of themselves one bit..

As a young engineering graduate, all your hope will be on Oil and gas work, I had the same feeling then, but I didn't allow it to get into my head, I took teaching job at a start and later got the engineering job.

It was 1 or 0.
