Hapu nwoke ahu. Onye ahu nwere nsogbu.
we were not even off topic...

ThreeBlackBird:

Hello, sir. You could have also told him what skill you learnt in particular and how you went through it. Learning to code comes with a lot of challenges, especially for self-taught developers. I must tell you that if you want to be a developer and you haven't started from school, you'll likely fail woefully because you'll be isolated and begin to struggle with time constraints owing to other commitments.

There are a ton of developers out there with similar range of knowledge. You'll be surprised to also find out that after years of committing to learn, you'll likely be taking a 30k to 50k from start ups who are bent on using you and have no provision for your growth. Telling people to learn to code has saturated the that market especially with mediocre devs. Being good for the industry also takes a few years.

This is the reason why I advice Jambites to go for self employable courses....
Don't be in a haste to enter the University....
I studied Architecture in the University. I went for my Masters immediately after NYSC....
I was combining my practice with a teaching job where I take home 25k.
Early this year I left d job to focus on Architecture.....To God be d glory. Amen

OP am once in ur shoe but which I never hope of leaving there, one thing leads to another, one unnecessary disagreement with the board and some of my colleagues they just ask us to tender our resignation letter and we refuse but at last the man sack us....after I almost spend 5month at without lacking anything on my own cost..... from no where I don't even submit any application of which I know of....the next thing na interview about 4 of us dey choice me the next na to resume work.......
though its not my dream job but I have gain more experience and it's pay more then my previous job......
MY ADVICE : leave this current job of urs to give u more time to think and search for more opportunities out there but u most have a back up for almost three months to able to feed urself......
Good luck.......

I recently turned down a software development job of 50k. Guys learn Digital marketing or programming even if you are currently doing something else, at the long run, it will pay you.

lanre88:
Wonder why we keep complaining when people come to you for better offer yet you would be happy with 70k job?

What is wrong with an average Nigerian, open your eyes and earn residual income for life. Live life on your terms.

If you are unemployed, employed but not satisfied with you job or you need something that pays alot. I have something for you, chat me up please.

We would continue to help as many people as possible.

SirWhiteFish:
You remind me of own experience. Leave that job and pray God makes a new way.

You won't be able to see the future while engaged in that kind of job. You won't even be able to go for interviews while teaching and earning 15k.

Heineken:
Bro let's just pray it gets better...things dey happen. Life no too sweet like that

Masa11:

I teach at one private school in our area, I have started with earning 8k, fortunately after a term I have being employed at my current private school that I earn 20k. Still now I search and pray for better one. dude just keep praying and surviving with your current job, the better is coming right away

Euforia:
This is a very interesting thread.

I hope it doesn't develop into a pity party but will provide the necessary impetus that will enable us lift ourselves out of the present circumstances we currently experience.

My observations (right or wrong but drawn from conviction) are as as follows;

The education system has become stale and is no longer producing graduates for the present. As a result of this the curriculum of the 1940s is what si used to prepare graduates for 2021 and beyond.

Many graduates have not decided what they want. All they seek is a fixed regular income without regard to their inputs to the system. That's why you find people taking temporary jobs that eventually turn into permanence.

This cannot never provide the stimulus for excellence. Without excellence you will only float with the wind.

macnino399:

It's not easy bro, I'm currently in my final year. Thinking about life after graduation makes me sad really.
I think you should major on your course of study, probably master or professional certification or better still save up and learn a skill...

I recently created a thread where I asked on professional certification to have in job search.

Don’t give up...bro there’s always light at the end of the tunnel...where are you located tho?
