As a graduate, I'd rather work in an audit firm or a small company earning 30K per month than work as a cleaner in a multinational and earn 100K as long as I enjoy what I am doing and have a higher chance of growing career-wise in it.

You laugh that I'd rather earn 30k as a graduate in a small company than 100k in an oil company working as a cleaner?

This is where young graduates get it wrong, everything isn't just about money, money, money. Do you agree with me that a young graduate with over 5 solid years experience in a small audit firm earning 30k has a better chance of earning 300k soon enough with his wealth of experience compared to his graduate counterpart that works as a cleaner in an oil company and has vast years of experience mopping floors and mixing detergents? He also has a higher career prospect as well.

But the wise man earning big as a cleaner will just save enough to start his own cleaning company and become an employer of labour ,while the one working in an audit firm looking for his 300k job will remain an employee developing other people's business for them.

The cleaner at an oil firm, if smart, will be learning and observing and NETWORKING. Most jobs come through networking. So the cleaner at the oil firm has better career prospects if he/she works it right.

You have a great point which can only move the less enlightened.

Let's put it this way: he earns 80k mopping floors while you earn 30k seated in an airconditioned office typing on a desktop computer.

Assuming the amount the both of you spend on transportation and feeding for every month is 20k each, he will have 60k left for savings while yours will be 10k.

60k x 12months= N720,000

10k x 12months= N120,000

What can you investments 120k in? I don't know for now. Probably something that produces little, not even up to the 30k you earn from being an auditor. I stand to be corrected.

As for his 720K, if he's not a spendthrift, he can invest in transport biz. Placing a danfo bus on the road in lagos can fetch him 80K per month asides the 60K he earns from mopping floors.

80K + 60K= N140,000

140K x 12months= N1,680,000


While he's saving N1,680,000 after 2yrs, you will only have N240K after 2yrs of your comfortable audit job.


In the 3rd year, if he's extra smart, he can add another bus to increase his margin of profit. He can continue the trend in the 4th and 5th year.


By the 5th year, he would have become an employer of labour with 4 danfo buses, each fetching an income of 80K per month asides his cleaner job of 80K per month. Don't forget about the amount he would have saved during those periods.

As for you, your sure believe of nabbing a job worth 300K might get dashed when reality hits you in the face. Even if you finally land the job, you are still going to remain a "yes sir" kind of person cos you've programmed yourself to work for others instead of employing people. Your mentality of comfort at work is one of the reasons why many youths are unemployed or not doing well in employment.


Sometimes, we are suppose to get muddy and dirty before we look shinny. Remember that diamonds are found in the rough.

em.
Not everyone was made to become an entrepreneur, some people just do not have that business acumen but have a well planned career path.

By the way, the amount of salary you earn does not necessarily determine if you would save enough to start a business of your own, it all depends on what plans you have for yourself and if you are really interested in business in the first place. I have a friend that earns a little below 50k and he still runs a dry cleaning business and I know of another than earns 200k a month but depends solely on his salary.
