With handiwork, you have a real skill to solve a real problem, with salaried work, most do not have any tangible skill for real life.

They should pass a law for every young person after high school to learn a mandatory skill for one year before going off to higher institutions.

Everybody in Nigeria these days is talking of learning handwork but something we all seem to be missing out is the fact that learning a handwork also has it's own problems and disadvantages.
for me here are few of the problems:
[1] poor or zero capital: majority of people spend years learning a handwork but when it's time for them to start-up you discover that most have little or no capital to start up.

[2] offenssive boss: if you have ever learned handwork in nigeria you will discover that some master or the persons teaching you handwork can be very rude and offensive at times.

[3] low customers or patronage: yeah you see people who after learning handwork getting a customer to patronise their trade can be very hard at times.

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.
@ bolded also an accountant am happy for him ooo you’re right...I have a friend also that is a lawyer that earn 100k as a Corp member..In any of those I just pray to meet the mercy of God...if it’s white collar job or my skills make one just help me out after my service year.

It's handwork but if you still have the opportunity to go to school, it's ok too.

Lol, a sister as a nurse on intern earns 130k in ogun state, would still be able to relocate to UK and earn more. And some are still saying white collar dosent pay!
i think you can try and do ICAN and get the professional certifications, Start small too, the person I was talking about once took 50K salary till everything changed

Re: Which Is Better, Handwork Or Salary Job? by dreamxhaser: 9:34pm On Jun 13, 2023
This might not be popular but i will pick any government salary job over any handwork.

Salary job in government parastatals are more stable and secured. You will earn more over the years becuse you will keep getting promoted. So by old age you are big. Not to forget the pension you will benefit at old age.

As for handwork, out of 100, most of them are not rich, its either they are broke or are struggling like the avrage nigerian. Only a few with connections are rich.

Also, most people with domince in a perticular handwork tend to loose their domince with time. I mean most of them probebly lose customers when they age bcause new young boys with mordern ways of doing things have come into the market. Most people with handwork are the ones that rely on their children during old age.

Forgive my typos, i dont have time to edit.

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.

You are correct. It depends on the type of salary job.

Let me add to your list. BAT, Shettima, Akpabio, Kyari, Okonjo Iweala, etc. are all salary earners.

Just do whatever will legitimately put food on your table. Simple
But their on na leg work
