how many law firms pay more than 50k? How many law firms even exist in the country? Law is a useless degree for majority

Bank contracts staff are being paid 80-120k while some pay entry level full time staff over 300k
Yes, law is a useless course for charge and bail lawyers.

Nairaland male commentators. I’ve never such a misogynistic set of human beings that derive pleasure from it. Very soon the female members of their family will turn against them.

Let's have the job you think was highly respected in the past but has lost his dignity or respect in recent time.

Perhaps if one knows it, one can avoid studying them or learning them.
Respect is in the eye of the beholder

And there will always be a few bad eggs who would engage in acts that would trend negatively in the media. Thus generating bad publicity for the majority who are doing their honest work.

As long as one earns his/her pay legitimately, they should keep their heads up in whatever profession they are engaged in

Working in a SHELL company.
It used to be one of the respected job then but now no one regards it. Ofcourse I know it's still a well paying job in the country but the emergence of Tech and yahoo business has made it unattractive job

Railway work
Police work
Post Master genera
Security work
And I dare say being a graduate has lost that esteem too. Even though it's not a job

On the flip side being a driver used to be associated with failure but not anymore an average Keke driver lives very comfortable.
I fainted when a vulcanizer bought Keke and gave it to a graduate on higher purchase

Contracts earn around 160 minimum now, and as high as 260.

Not all banks though.

Sgnificant numbers of professions have since lost respect, people now getting money by their handiwork, business, even illegal means( yahoo, ritual, bunkering)

It seems there is paragim shift from being an employee and owner of work/business, not even online stuff(legal or illegal)
