The only problems I see here are their tolerance level & personality, not the jobs.

Depends on how much he's earning o and where he works.

If you have a permanent employment with NNPC or CBN, work until them pursue you comot there.

Not everyone is cut out for business. Some people are better off in a paid employment till they retire and then live on pension and profit from investments.

Do not be deceived, business isnt for everyone neither is a salary paying job for everyone. What is more important is financial management.

If you have enough capital to start your business, you have a bigger opportunity to become rich. That's the best time to stop this slavery called job. There is too much competition at the workplace. You find a lot of who have worked for many years without promotion, but no one can deny you that in your own business.

Salary is the amount of bribe they pay u to suspend ur dreams and to help another man achieve his own dream.
When do u start? As early as u can. Start small and grow from there.
NB:
1. Keep ur business and family completely separated. Never bring business home.
2. Never hire who u can't fire.
3. Have a monthly and yearly target.
4. Make money and japa united... grin grin grin tongue

Wondering why someone will even consider working for salary at any time in this life. You are simply paid salary to forget your dream and as long as one is dependent on salary there is a great limitation to what can be achieved.
Also, unfortunately the school system is training students to work for companies after graduation. We should learn, study and understand entrepreneurship. That's the way to go.

When you have mastered a trade, skill or a specialist in certain field

when I started my corporate work at 25, I told myself that I would have my own hustle by 40. The stress that investment banking work brought on me was too much. Waking up by 4:30am and coming back by 10pm. The rat race was simply too much and was taking so much on my mental and emotional well being, even though the pay package and other emoluments were good.It provided me with all the necessities of life and I was financially doing relatively ok.

I registered my own consulting company by the side and was waiting when the side hustle could pay at least 50% of my total salary. That never came to pass as the Solo Consulting space itself is even competitive. Most jobs came through referral. I never got any consulting job based on submission of application. By 2016, I couldn't take it again and resigned to face my solo consulting. This is the fifth year and, I am yet to gross the annual salary I enjoyed when I was still working.

Any regret? No. I have my peace, wake up at my own time, visit my parents and enjoy good moments with loved ones during the weekends without considering the impending coming Monday. I am on my bed typing this, reviewing a document sent to me by a client. My mental and physical health is top-notch and I have developed myself beyond my imagination. Money wise, I am still far from getting what my corporate employment paid but I am far happier now than when I was working in the bank.

Salary is a bribe given to us so that we can forget our dreams..

But truly Salary should be an avenue to raise capital for a business .therefore, based on the question the op asked, I think you should quit when you have raised enough money to start and run a good and profitable business.
