The earlier you Quit the Job the better. A bolt driver makes 25k above in 6 days after balancing car owner. So its not advisable for an able bodied young man like you to waste his 30 days and earn paltry 25k. Pls look for a car owner and register with bolt, while searching for other business and skills to further your career.

I really believe you're on the right track as regards Tech, my only advice is as someone said, save some money and when you finally relocate to Abuja, look for a tech company and offer yourself as an Intern. You're still a fresher in the field, it might be hard getting a full paid job as an experienced developer. So internship would allow you learn more and align yourself with the experienced senior developers. If the owner of the tech company sees your vigour and willingness, he can decide to be giving you some stipends per month. Also look for software development meetups in Abuja. See https://www.meetup.com/

In all this, have patience and throw away pride, like you said, you're 26, be patient and be humble. What did I say Sir; be patient.

Tech stacks to focus on, I believe you know; JavaScript first, I repeat JavaScript. Why? Because it will lay your foundation for ReactJS, which is very popular and in high demand. There were some interns I advised in 2020 to learn JavaScript and eventually ReactJS and today in Abuja they're earning 5-6 figure salary. I mean some 65k and some 100k and above per month, as young guys and bachelors.

So if you feel, you're not yet strong with JavaScript, then I would advise you still wait and still be teaching in your current place of primary assignment, learn JavaScript again again and again, then learn ReactJS while still working in this school that's giving you steady income. Why because, if you leave this school and go to Abuja and you're not yet grounded in the skills of Software engineering, then it will be hard to get a job, and if you go in for internship and they don't pay you anything, what will you be living on; it might be hell.

So think wisely, don't make hasty decisions; I reiterate, if you are not yet grounded with JavaScript and ReactJS, continue learning and Teaching, at the end you would eat the good of the land.wow you have spoken well ��

I learnt web development at 24, was an apprentice (intern) for 4 years. Today am 41 through God's Grace. Be patient, there's a time and season for everything underneath the earth. Shallom!

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. - James 1 v 4

Anytime I remembered when I was teaching, I do laugh. Imagine taking jss1-3 maths n ss1-3 physics n chemistry. And was paid 15( I fought to earn that ooo. It was 10k before) then taking private lesson 4k. Everything no reach 20k ooo. A whole graduate. One day a parent want me to teach her wards n want me to accept 2k, I told her it's too small n requested for 4k. Naso this woman provoke say how she go pay 4k say I want open their head pack book? She claimed she had been paying 1.5k before. Omo naso I vex go learn painting n that's what I do now, I'm even tired of hearing those useless figure again.

That's what most private schools teachers earn

If u ask me, it is a simple decision. Your heart will know no peace until u HV done that u feel u wish 2 do. No matter what happens to u, u will keep telling urself that u would HV been better off if u had gone into ur tech career. So if u ask me, I'll say quit ur teaching job, go into that your heart desires so that u can satisfy ur thirst which isn't actually bad. After all, u will keep being fraustrated doing a job u HV no joy over, or a job that ur take home can't even get u to ur street. And if say after a yr or 2 in d process of pursuing ur dream u couldn't pull thru, trust me, u can always, I mean always get another teaching job brother since u already HV d experience

Hi guys,
I trust this meets you well?
I am 25 years old, I'd soon be 26.
I'm a graduate, I served in Kano and stayed back after service doing a teaching job. I am paid 35, 000 naira per month. The 35k finishes on transportation and feeding even before the month ends.

I started learning a skill in tech about a year and half ago, I've gained some confidence already in web development, I can call my self a Front-End Developer now with some knowledge of back end development... I have made up my mind to keep learning everyday. I have a dream of going fully into tech and at this point in my life, I need a job that will offer me the opportunity to learn what I'm personally interested in. I want to work in a team that will help me to grow, not a teaching job where I am overworked and get home tired everyday and have little time to code.

After sitting and considering all these, I made up my mind to resign my teaching Job by the end of December. I'm going back to my hometown (a state in the North central) where I hope to go down to Abuja in search of a better life or better still if I get one in my state.

The thing is that I'd need to take this bold step now while I'm still a bachelor before I get married and unable to.

I understand that it is a hard decision to take, but if I let fear hold me down here, Many years will pass and I will be here held by fear. A colleague shared his story with me, that he was afraid of leaving and for him, it's 11 years now teaching and he is still struggling. He's married and it's now difficult to take any step as such.

I need advice, if possible share your experiences so that I will learn.

Thank you very much

This is the age to take risks. Quit and dont look back. After 6 months in tech, you will find your path. If you dont, you can always pick teaching again. You have no wife and kids yet, so no pressure to provide for anyone.

I beg you, take the plunge! Make all your career moves and mistakes before 30

Many Nigerians run away from networking and come online to complain they are tired of their job or current job.

When God open your eyes, you would know you that many things have changed as regards how to make money.

A word is enough...

Never be scared to make bold step. I am a graduate of education, and after 11 years in teaching, I made the bold step to go into transport business in May last year by acquiring a Nigeria used korope which I could afford and I run the business myself. In this business, I save averagely 50,000 weekly working for 5 days in a week. How many schools in most part of Lagos Nigeria can afford to pay me this. I am an educationist, but sincerely, teaching profession is nothing to talk about in most part of Nigeria

Life is cool here. You can get a teaching job that will pay you 100k plus but you might need an insider in most of the good schools to update you on opportunities.

Accommodation depends on location. A good self contain will cost 60k plus. Here in Kano, its easier to rent a whole house. With 120+ you will get a good house with tiles...

Cheers!!

Exactly my thoughts! Those encouraging him to resign Asap won't be there to lend him a listening ear when he's all broke and dry. It's better to quit when he's fully grounded in the tech skill and also with a financial back up of a duration of at least 3 months.
