The rich buy people’s time by paying them salary every month...making people work for you is the only and only way to get rich and stay rich bruh 😎 in conclusion am a graduate and also a glass and aluminum installer.Time is money 💰 but people are poor because there can’t manage they time but want to stop they time.

It always affects my mental psychology whenever am working as a earner.

Note:I hate when someone detect how I spend my time.

Handwork if you have contacts, no matter how good you are, but do not socialise, network with people... na hunger go finish you. But salary earner, sure of steady income.
So, if you have the connection and network, you will earn better

Depends on the handjob and depends on the salary job.
Some salary jobs are blood money, seen people take 1m plus monthly salary.
Seen someone at least 20k profit per day, in fact, 20k is a bad day.
If you are not a professional in your field (Accountant, Engineer, Doctor, Surgeon, Pharmacist, nurse, IT) i suggest you go for handjob, It gives more flexibility and you have you destiny in your own hands.

You will have this ideology till you see young champs making 1.5m monthly, plus incentives working for companies
Salary Job pays, and I am not talking about oil companies here. How many Business net 1.5 monthly? if yes, is it consistent?
Don't discredit salary jobs. Anyone should do what is best for them

None is better, it depends on what you make of it.

There are poor salary earners as well as poor people with handiwork.

What makes you rich are the investments you make from your earnings from either of the two.

Billionaires out there are not people with handiwork neither are they salary earners. They are investors!

It depends.

Ronaldo and Messi are salary earners 😂

Pep Guardiola and Mourinho are salary earners 😂

The CEO, directors and heads of department in MTN, Airtel, Nestle, Multichoice, Dangote Cement, Shell, ExxonMobil, etc are salary earners

NLNG, CBN and NNPC directors are salary earners 😂

That it's not black doesn't mean that it will be white.

Whether you rely on salaried employment only or "handwork" only or both should be a function of your perculiar reality.
God bless you, my thoughts exactly. We all have what works for us be it as salary earners or handiwork specialists, we just need the undiluted favour of the Almighty to make it fruitful and profitable.
Re: Which Is Better, Handwork Or Salary Job? by Styluss: 12:41pm On Jun 13, 2023
People have become billionaires earning from salaries, tony elumelu, seyi makinde all did salary jobs.
Footballers, people who work in deloittes, michellein, exxonmobil, telecoms, Embassies, FIRS and some Federal parastatas are salary earners and millionaires.
It only depends on the job and not all businesses pays too.
I prefer handjob too, but some salary jobs have great career prospects.

To my own point of view. Having a hand work is more preferable than white collar job.... salary only comes once in a month and no one has ever becomes billion earning salaries.....

Having a hand work can bring in contract worth millions if not billions....

people earning salaries in dollars can do businesses that will take handwork a very long time to save.

Secondly... there are levels to this handwork. The main money you make from most handwork comes from the business aspect of Supplying materials. The installation fee is just a token. Handwork is underpriced in africa and overpriced abroad

People with handwork looks more successful than the low salary earners. There are more successful salary earners. CEOs, polithieficians, footballers, tech bros/girls etc, are salary earners.

Salary comes in levels....

1 million, 500,000, 30000, etc.

But with a handwork, you are your own boss!! Your paypacket depends on you alone.
Re: Which Is Better, Handwork Or Salary Job? by God2man2again(m): 12:55pm On Jun 13, 2023
It depends on the amount of salary while handiwork depends on the connection for you to blow
Re: Which Is Better, Handwork Or Salary Job? by visaclick: 12:57pm On Jun 13, 2023
It should be a question of the kind of job you do. For this lekki some earn up to 2m and mostly fresh graduates meanwhile some handworkers sleep day in and out without patronage.
Re: Which Is Better, Handwork Or Salary Job? by Desusi: 1:00pm On Jun 13, 2023
Hand work is the best.How long can one continue to wait for salary to come. Its said,owo eni kii tanije.while the employer can send you packing, your handwork remains and can be transferred to your children's children.
Re: Which Is Better, Handwork Or Salary Job? by bigiyaro(m): 1:03pm On Jun 13, 2023
Depends on your brain power, you are an AC technician, you register a technical company, via for contracts with big coys and govt agencies, import AC parts, buy bulks ot non-tested ACs, repair and sale, you can end up employing graduates and used their brains especially first class graduates. I worked for someone who became a millionaire through just a contract of servicing fire extinguishers for ministry of justice before, another one was also a millionaire through supply and maintenance of fire extinguishers and fire system for a big bank.

Its better to live and spend under the shadow of someone than to live alone and still not make enough. I was doing my own business too till I met a friend who nets 1.5m as an accountant, just (30 yrs old)
I was motivated to start applying for jobs immediately. And considering alot of us comes from average family, to start a big business that can make a profit of 40k daily is difficult for lots of people.

It depends. There are salary earners of 60k and ones of 2m. You can earn big amounts from handwork too, and sometimes no work.

most of the rich people in Nigeria started with salary job and used the connections. Most of our politicians were lawyers, accountants and bankers. Many of the handwork people are wallowing in poverty. Make una dey rest

In view of Nigeria realities, handwork (vocation) is better; but a combo of the 2 is the best.
