As an undergraduate in the 90s, I did bus conductor services for my elder brother's bus line during the holidays.
To be honest, it was fun and fulfilling then.
We plied Owerri-Aba route daily, only rested on Sundays.
I learnt a lot on the road. You'd learn a lot by reading the passengers and you'd see people in diverse dimensions of life challenges that would leave you weak.
I can understand why some conductors would ask a certain passenger not to pay.

And when I'd go back to school with lots of money, my friends won't believe I did conductor service while they were chilling.
All they did was task me for little change.

How time flies.

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.

Generally Niggerians hate hard work. Hard work is called suffering. Thats why they all want to be in one office where they will sit all day doing nothing

Worked as a cleaner few months after NYSC and my perspective change forever.
There's no small job, just small people.

I still hustle as a cleaner till date.

Thanksful:
