| Should I Quit My Teaching Job Due To Current Nigeria Situation? by dboY1123(op): 8:46am On Nov 01, 2024 |
Greetings all. I amam currently working as a teacher in a school and my monthly salary after tax and school deduction is 47,700.. Tax is 1300 and school monthly deduction is 1000 (refundable when you want to quit). The school is an average school, and S.S classes school fee is around 100k-160k.. I have walk some distance like 25 minute. Inside of me, I desire to start learning a skill like Digital marketing, and I don't want to stay long in this job with the current situation of Nigeria. Do you advice I quit this job? I'm thinking of saving up some money first before leaving maybe next year., 50k job is useless as P in psychology because you can't even take good care of yourself or rent a good house, annual salary is 600k.. |

Have a realistic alternative stream of income first if you truly intend to leave ....I just don't want hunger to be giving you upper cut when you leave . |

It's important for parents to start asking how much the teachers earn in the school they send their children to, because that is the value of education the child is going to get. |

mecuries:Imagine as at 2014 I saw one of my teachers salary, was shocked to see 400k why won't the teachers do their best? That was when I new why teachers were bagging PhDs and Masters and still staying put. The amount of earnings teachers make is what they give out. |

dboY1123:That’s it, you will hardly see a good paying job in Nigeria of today. Most teaching job are enslavement, you just have to keep working without earning, The way Nigeria is currently, those that are making it might not want to tell one how they are because they know you guys can rush that opportunity and cast it. So, that’s how it’s. Just keep trying. |

dboY1123:You can still be a teacher and make good money. With WAEC gradually becoming computer based ( from 2026 ), and cheating being reduced drastically in exams, good teachers will be highly needed. Try and get a part time job as a teacher . 50k for a full time Secondary school teacher is too low. You can get a part time teaching job for 50 k with negotiation in Lagos. Then you can augment it with home lessons. What subjects are you teaching, please? If it is Maths or English, you should leave the school and go freelance. Search for big schools in your area and drop your CV with them. Tell them you're available to teach part time. Then negotiate wisely with the principals for a good salary. Even for other subjects, push for good money. You can also decide to combine farming with teaching. Cheers. |

Truvelisback:You mean I should remain there? Do you earn 50k monthly please, I can't imagine living alone and earning such.. if I buy food stuffs, remove rent, transportation, and other miscellaneous like gas etc..you think 47k is enough? Lol, that's just me, what if I have a fiancee or wife? |

Redman44:Science subjects chemistry, Biology.. I can't imagine living alone or having a fiancee with that pay. I am currently in my Parents house and I am preparing to leave. That's the issue |

dboY1123:There are secrets to teaching you need to know. Some private schools pay very well in Lagos. Look towards part time teaching and home lessons. Drop your CV with good schools in Lagos. Then negotiate for good money as a part time teacher. Weigh your options well. Cheers. |

dboY1123:If you are under your parent roof, kindly quit. Before you know it, 15yrs is gone and there won't be any significant increase in you pay. By then it's too late. If you hit the street, with time you will start making more than that. I finished from secondary school around 2006 just last month I stumbled upon the pay slip of my teachers who are still teaching in that school. None of them earn above 110k, the highest is 125k and currently the principal. This is almost 20 years later. Am not demeanor teaching job, but the school management needs to do better and the teachers too need to plan a growth part. If you have taught for almost 20 years, you should be a professor lecturing in the university. That should be your growth path. |

And for parents, if the teachers in your children's school are not paid well or treated nicely, you are just wasting your children precious time... They won't learn anything. Imagine paying teacher a small token with delay, some won't pay month ending... Some won't pay during holiday. Poor salary no incentives....and you expect the best from them? |

dboY1123:A bird at hand is worth two in the bush. Get a working class lady who is understanding and supportive as a fiancee or wife while you aim for something better. |
