lol, hope u have money shaa. Quit if you have enough for cerelac and pampers.

I am a graduate of finance but not qualified yet but currently doing three jobs
First job is freelancing for a logistics company in Europe (No delay salary)
Second job is a 100% remote but in Nigeria( although the are borrowing to pay us, but comes a little or a bit late and it comes with a lot of meetings and impromptu request to be delivered within minutes)
Third job is on site 100%. (Takes time before salary is paid)
The three pay a total of N370k, the last one is a bit stressful because I have to be on-site although affords me the opportunity to run 1&2 effectively.

My wife just put to bed and it been a bit tedious for job 1&2 although am not coping well but I am thinking of quiting because it been tough.

What's your advice or thought

What people don't realize is that there is no such thing as a career, or I will put it this way, the people that have a fulfilling career are very tiny. If the job pays you do let you to live a respectable life, then that is the ideal. The idea that you must be in a suit with a tie in an office is nonsense. Arrant nonsense.

Human civilizations are not built on suits and ties but on hard grinding work. From the peasants building and maintaining railways to long-haul interstate drivers even accross countries, to the sewage workers, the farmers, traffic guys, and so forth. These are the people that powers society, the majority in the background, not the tiny veneer of men in suits that are sprinkled on top. These ordinary men and women are the heros of society but sadly, these are the people we don't want to be like.

In other words, we live in a cappuccino society, where beneath is an untold amount of ordinary men and women keeping the system from crumbling, but with a sprinkle of tiny men on suits on top. Lots of people depressed themselves for nothing because they have filtered their vision not to see the majority that powers society, to see only the tiny ones.

And here comes the most important one, which is contentment. Contentment doesn't mean settling for less, or not aspiring to be more, but it's about being okay with what you have while working to improve it. Probably Nigeria hasn't reached the peak of educated masses, but in all developed countries where most of the populations are educated up to 99% (eg Canada, US, UK), the majority of the workforce are not happy with their jobs, and even Ph.D. holders do taxi jobs.

This is sad to say, but personally, I see how many of my ex-classmates torture themselves just because they think life after school should be nirvana. Some postpone the pain by taking more courses, embarking on more degrees, and so forth, but shifting the goal post doesn't mean the post isn't there, it's still waiting albeit, a bit farther. Perhaps if they could just see that the world is not powered by men in suits, but by men on rags, it shall be well with them.

Oh, thanks sister...

Well, I went to the state board to know how it's done and I was directed to another branch. I was not satisfied with their answers. I expected them to tell me the percentage or educate me on how to calculate (I've had to learn online) and how to pay by myself online. But the woman I met was almost insisting to "help", and not willing to give the website and stuff. They're more interested in knowing what I do and how much is my income for the year.

Also I wasn't sure about the currency/rate I would use. But I've decided to calculate everything in naira according to the "official rate" of each month. Cos I don't think it's reasonable to be paying the government with black/parallel rate in any case.

I have a plan to go again in January (to pay); I'll tell them what I need if there not serious I'll tell them I'll try firs as I suggested to the woman yesterday...

And I think the percentage should be around 7% to 12%. She showed an example: 3m = 350... But I think firs has everything clear online and not secretly. I don't want the situation where I'll be paying the government and it's workers from my hard-earned...

anu3:
Thanks ... well, I already registered with the state board, but it seems I'll prefer Firs online. It seems I'll most likely be cheated going physically to the state board...

But your boss has the right to know somethings that can affect your productivity,

A Muslim should be allowed times for prayer (coffee break) ,

A Christian should be free off duty on Sundays

A married woman should not be involved in some certain marketing roles

Hello good evening please is this still open?

January

i had to quit a teaching job because i could not do full time and that was due to the circumstances surrounding it.
i had worked for a week in two different schools and got nothing for it.

that is because i also left the only school where i was working just days after quitting the other one and i did it for a full time job in another school.

amidst all these ,i lost my android phone and i was never living where i chose to live.
i dont mean i was forced by anybody to live here or there. i mean that i was rather forced by the misfortune of having no apartment of mine before i started working in this or that school.
i had and i still have to take whatever i see.
to compound it, the cashless policy made it very hard for me to have access to my salary for january which was less than 13,000naira.

I was given this tecno t901 by one of the owners of the school i joined full time, anyways.
I did not hesitate towards replacing the battery with a new one for immediate use.

February

The cashless policy continued to worsen things as i had no fixed means of collecting my salary.
Till now , i have not recovered from the cost of having access to my salary during that period. I have also spent over 10 to 15k trying to secure an active bank account myself or through my dad in his name.
My salary for february was not up to twice my salary for january.

March

I can't remember anything better here

April

I had to leave the school i joined full time since the owners felt i was not doing enough or no longer needed. I also packed out of the place where i was asked to stay and i did so in order to have peace.
I moved to a church where i stayed for a while before i had to move out again.

May

I had to go back to part time but i could not even find at least two schools for most of the following months.

I have nothing else to say about May.

June to August

I can only say let me forget
again
nothing better
rather worse


September

I was able to find additional part time means but the cost of every necessity had already become a lot more problematic for me before i could come up with any plan.

October

also trying to tell as many people as possible whatever i can afford to tell.
i have been residing in a school for months now, just like i was for about half of last year.
i need a terrible size of memories out of my head.

if this means am insane, then i will never be well.
Copied!

donmik:
