Depends on the nature of the job and if it builds you for the future. Sometimes, experience is more valuable than the money you earn.
I earned 10K for 19 months when I first started working. Then I earned 20K for 11 months. Now I earn almost 100K. With experience, perseverance and hard work, I'll earn over 1M someday. And I live in PH where the cost of living is high. In those rough times, family sustained me.
And before I forget, I'm an engineering graduate from a UK university. Similarly, I have a friend that started on 50K and is on 400K now.
My point is this, so long you are on the set career path you want to be, the experience matters more than the money.
Good luck in your endeavours.

I can assure you that very few people can relate to this post. Quite entertaining though. I thoroughly enjoyed it, as I went to a military school and have friends and family in the armed forces.

The Flavour picture was not taken the same day with that of his baby mama. The two cars say it all. Check Flavour's door and the AC at the neighbour's house.

Well spotted. Also, by looking at the weather and how the shadows are cast, one would notice that those photos were taken at different times.

Whenever I'm on nairaland to read articles/comments, I have mixed feelings, depending on the nature of the article. Some comments are funny, some give me hope for tomorrow, some make me feel hopeless for this country (but it won't stop me from praying and hoping things will get better), some comments even make me angry.
I am a Nigerian in my late 20s. I am from the North-East, because that's where my dad is from, while my mum is from the Niger-Delta. I am privileged to have lived in Ibadan (though I have no memories of that time), Kaduna, Yola, Benin, Lagos, Enugu/Abakaliki and Port Harcourt, where I currently work (by the way, I was born in Port Harcourt). I also schooled in the Jos, Warri and the UK.
It pains me in my spirit when I read how Nigeria has been religiously and ethnically sectionalised. A lot of people on here are so bigoted to the point it has clouded their sense of reasoning. Truth is all these didn't start today. It started right from the 50s (and I stand corrected, as I'm no history student, but an engineer by training and profession). The onus is on us to put aside this sectional attitude and become objective in our criticism and judgement of each other, because it is the bane of our development as a nation.
Recently, due to economic hardship being experienced in the country and the world at large (largely due to drop in oil price which the country almost wholly depends on), I developed an interest in economics and business matters, and nowadays it doesn't take much to get info off the Internet. In my so doing, I realised that as a nation, we are an import based economy. The only thing we sell is crude oil, which right now sells for between 35-40 dollars/barrel. And forecasts have that prices will further plummet, with Iran preparing to flood the market with even more oil. As a matter of fact, oil price is not expected to make any significant upturn, until 2017, when it is forecasted that unconventional (shale) oil production by America will begin to drop.
Why am I saying these things? We see our industrious brothers from Aba, producing shoes and other items. Rather than commend them for a job well done, encourage the government to support and grow the industry, I see people saying stuff like "it's fake", "it's Aba made" etc, just because they are from a different geopolitical zone or a different tribe. What you lot fail to realise is that whether you're from the NE, NW, NC, SS, SE, SW, we are all enveloped in one entity called Nigeria. The economic implication of production, be it in Aba or Alaba or Abaji or Ajaokuta or Argungu, translates to us all. The other day I went out with a friend to a grocery store, he wanted buying a sachet of corn, to make pop corn. On looking at the pack and seeing that it was made in, and imported from Ghana, I almost broke down in tears. It has gotten so bad that we import CORN from Ghana. The same corn I had in my small garden as a kid in Yola! That shows how much of an import-based economy we are. Little wonder our Naira keeps losing value daily. We need to start encouraging local production, and stop with the unobjective criticism, due to ethnic, religious and regional prejudice.
There's also the issue of people having a habit of cursing Nigeria, to the point of calling it a zoo. I won't speak on the Biafra issue, because it is a very sensitive one, and I'm not well informed on that topic. But I will speak from a biblical point of view. First of all, I believe the Bible is God's word, and His word is always true, whether anybody likes it to be, or not. Jeremiah 29:7 says: Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper. ITimothy 2:1-2 says: I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peacefully and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. The point is this, don't curse where you live, rather, pray for it and bless it. Cursing Nigeria would be like living in a glass house and throwing stones. If Nigeria became a zoo, it's inhabitants would be treated like animals, so would their children.
The onus is on us to build the country and make it habitable for us and our unborn children. For us to do that, we'll need to change our sectional mentality. Remember, the ripple effect of what transpires in Maiduguri somehow affects you in Yenagoa. You may not see it, but it does.
I'm done tire to dey punch my keyboard, make I run common for here. Have a blessed day, everyone.
Jesus is Lord!

He never said he was moving the DHQ. Mr. President said, and I quote "Progress has been made in recent weeks by our security forces but victory can not be achieved by basing the Command and Control Centre in Abuja. The command centre will be relocated to Maiduguri and remain until Boko Haram is completely subdued."

I believe he's referring to the Task Force Team set up to fight Boko Haram.

hotice01:
let's all put an end to all this sentimental political affiliations.
The OP is very correct,this initial move by PMB looks good short term but very bad on the long run.
The best he would have done was to order the CAS to maidugury and not the defence head quarters.By setting up a central control base in Maiduguri.
As a retired military general this is a very bad political and military move.its just for showmanship.
The defence headquarters have to be in the same location,within reach of the GCFR.
if the military cannot handle a small militia like Boko Haram without deploying its might,it gives other countries an in depth knowledge of what our military is made up of.under PMB.
I'm nonpartisan and not politically sentimental.
His first move is a goof,no sane president will undertake such h task especially with the advent of modernized warfare.
All it takes is for Boko Haram to focus its might by whatever means on the new DHQ and our security is gone.
Being a retired military General doesn't alwz translate to military genius, especially when times and methods of warfare has "changed" a lot.
wish PMB a successful tenure. GOD bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

antiembezzle: All these fake wars self, if they are serious they should wipe off half their population, then i can endorse their insanity...

That's the most foolish and ignorant comment I've ever seen on Nairaland. May God help you.

I decided not to do the MEng for career reasons, I'm looking to get a job in Nigeria, then do an MSc related to the field of job I find myself.

I'm actually putting in job applications at the moment and I hope I get get a chance to prove myself.

Thanks for your reply debosky!
