Advice: Should I Quit My Job? by kheart(op): 7:20am On Dec 31, 2014
Hi nlders please i need ur kind n genuine advice. should quit my job as an asst sch admin 4 somthin i ve always wanted (philantropist).

Although d pay is nothing to write home abt (30k) bt am nt a choosy person cos i ve work 4 lesser pay. The problem is dis work takes all my time (6:50 am to 4:30), i dont ve time to venture in2 som of d things i wanted to do wit my life.

I know u need huge amount of money to set up a charity org/foundation bt am startin 4rm small things like givin awareness to children (who re use as suicide bombers dis days by BH) especially since m from d north. Ur candid advice on d nature of d foundation is highly welcomes.

Thanks in anticipation for ur kind response and sorry for d grammatical blunders, engrish na borrow language.

And how do you intend to fund this philanthropy?

In short, you are not a milionaire but you want to start a foundation??

Dude, please work on your thought processes. Philanthropy? Asst sch admin?

Is that the best you can do for yourself? What happened to aim higher and never settle for less?

Don't quit your job yet.

I'm happy you realize you need a "huge amount of
money" for your philanthropy. So you can see there is
a gap between where you are now and where you
want to be.

How do you bridge that gap? That is the question you
need to answer now.

How do you spend your weekends? Find a way to
invest some of the little free time you have to
create extra streams of income.

What's that you say about N30k being "nothing to write
home about?" I can assure you there are people PRAYING &
FASTING for that your job.

So until you have a logical alternative, live within your
means and create extra income streams ASAP.

Cheers!

you mean to open an NGOhuh
you can actually establish it with out money but don't quite your job yet.
Write a list of all the rich men you know and gather a team of 3 to 5 people ( might be your friends). Visit them one by one and seek there support. Adopt those gave as beneficiaries. if you could raise enough money then you can comfortably quite your job.
BTW 30k a month isn't too low?
