Jobs People Look Down, That They Are Now Doing. by Truvelisback(op): 5:13pm On May 25, 2022
Good day, fellas. I will be mentioning some jobs people look down, that they are now doing.
1. Bus Conductor: Then, Bus conduct jobs are jobs people claimed or see as jobs meant for illiterates, school drop outs, touts or for people who don't have future. Many people have shyed away from doing this job and many are still shying away from as a result of this. 2ndly, there is this belief or assumption that, the job is meant for guys alone, lol. Now, ladies are doing the job.

2. Shoe Cobbler: In a lame's man language, shoe maker. Then it was assumed or believed that the job is meant for the Aboki or Mallam people(Northerns). The truth is that, they were the ones very popular and famous for the job. U will rarely see other tribes doing the job. But now, people desire to learn it. Some people are now earning a living with it.

3. Cleaner(Compound cleaning)/cleaning in general: Women are now doing this job to earn a living. Married women and single-mothers, most especially.

4. Barbing: In those days, people rarely value or don't value Barbing as a job. Then, if u want to barb, u will have to walk far away from ur home to have a haircut. Do u know why? Only very people had interest to be a barber. But now, u can easily see Barbing salon in every street. Back then, it wasn't so.

These are the ones i can remember for now. U can add urs.

Frying Akara and cooking/selling of food wasn't that rampart then but since Buhari came into power and brought change(Hunger and poverty), it has become rampart. Even those who are poor cook are now forced to go into it, just to survive.

It's ok, also it depends on the state of ur salary. I.e whether u are ok with the Salary. If u have ur own commercial bus, mini bus or car, it would be fine compared to working for someone as a driver.

Back then, conductor jobs were regarded as jobs meant for illiterates, school drop outs, touts or for people who have no future. Now, even ladies are doing the job.

Buhari's regime has prompted many to do jobs they never wished or dreamed of doing.

Levels don change o. Modernity and globalization has made everyone realise that those are lucrative jobs.

More because those supposed elites' graduate jobs are no longer there.

Hence, man must chop formula.


What we have now are Grabuates.

Number 1 should be Uber o. Not until peeps realise how much you can make from driving uber that they linda stopped behaving like mumu.

My friend laughed at me when I started driving uber. Until I started giving him and others one bottle each whenever I try to chill and they come around, baba asked me if he could do uber with Honda EOD, I smiled and sha gave him my best advice.
