Good morning all, I will make this short and brief. I have work in a school for 10years now. I started working there with a salary of 8k up till 20k. I now have a wife with 2kids. The salary was not taking care of us again. And I was left in taking loan. But in any academic session ie 1st, 2nd, 3rd term, apart from my salary I do see up to 100k or more base on tips and other deals. I resigned February and I got a new job of 45k. Now my former job is calling me to come back, that I will be given 30k.. maybe when more pupils come my salary will be increase..
Former job
* I go by 7.30 and close by 3.30 and have time with my family
* Trekable from my house, I don't pay t.p.
* I enjoyed public holidays and mid term break
* I don't go on Saturday, still have time with my family
* Tips and pension available
New job
* I go by 7:30 and close by lastest 7:30 or 8 no time for my family
* I pay 400 to and fro
* I work on Saturdays no time for my family
* No tips anywhere.. just your salary and you will be subcharge for any wrong posting.
I have 1 week to decide... Please help coz I am confused.

Go for the 45k job to experience new climate. You may enjoy tips on the job. You've known the old job. It's time to test new waters

Choose it. It puts you in the spotlight where you meet alot of people, unlike teaching job that can box you in a room people hardly meet you. You may even meet your future wife out of the many girls that smile to you. You also learn new skill and set of experiences.

After a wife and 2 children, you want him to get a future wife based on a smile, no less

You can never spend even 5yrs working in a phone shop, somehow you will replaced

Since there's no better offer, go back to the school and be planning something better

Lol.... No way

Thanks to you all... I will go back to my previous job..

I think you should go for the new job cuz that’s how u expand yourself. U focusing too much on comfort. That teaching job and stagnant nah 5&6. I wish u good luck

@op, how can you be in a job of 20k for 10years? Am I reading well at all?
And you have a family, how many kids?
What's your definition of having time to spend with your family without being capable to solve financial challenges? Or you want to tell me your family is doing well financially?
Go for a new job.
Then look for more new job with higher salary. Keep moving up pls.

No one become great by remaining in their comfort zone. Fear, laziness and lack of vision is all I see here.

Na climate e go chop use feed his family? Test waters kor. Abeg no let water carry am go where him no know o...

The former job is better because by the time he'll remove bus fare in a month, it will come down to what his former employer is offering him. Now coupled with the stress, it's not worth it.

Op, if you're sure you're still going to be making that extra 100k from your first job, please go back and accept the offer. At least now there's hope and promise of a pay raise if the population increases.

The new one is not worth it considering the working terms. It's stressful with the cost of transportation, you'll have little or nothing left at the end of the day.

Go back to your old job


Your new job will stress and wear you out .



Better pick up your old job that's more suitable to your taste .


Look for a side hustle or business to do alongside your job eg you can start a farm where you live , poultry or even transport business.

God almighty will save you from poverty stricken jobs. Open your mind, learn more skills. Do certifications. Surf net , join LinkedIn and meet professionals. Pls for the sake of the kids.
