Good motivational post.

OP, get this into your own head.... Not everyone works for the money. There is something called passion and that's is joy in what you are doing. Did you remove the value of cost/ operational expense from the hawker and driver and whatever you mentioned up there?

ExInferis:
There's a difference between salaries and wages. Whoever is earning salary usually has some other benefits. Bank employees and oil company workers also earn bonuses, grants, loans, vacation, health and other packages.

Wage earners on the other hand have just their earnings and that's it. Salaries are guaranteed while wages are dependent on revenue.

In the US most people prefer salaries to hour rates, which are just wages.

This is a Nigerian forum undecided

Those who are too scared to pursue their dreams work harder to make another man's dream come through.

This is deeply thought-provoking.

However, while I agree that it's very smart to have more than one source of income/revenue, I have to say that not everyone is able to be an enterpreneur and handle a business.

Same way as not everyone is meant to earn a salary.

And whether one is running a business or earning a salary, the Nigerian economy right now is not friendly to most of us. sad

This is exactly why we need graduates in such professions. With their knowledge, they can reduce the stress and increase the profits. Don't you think?

Knowing your salary will be paid at the end of the month helps you plan unlike in business where you cannot tell.

True though but what you failed to mention is that most of all these entrepreneurs don't have the said amount flowing in constantly.
Secondly, you have to start somewhere.

I have thought of this severally and having an entrepreneurial mindset has made me to think outside the box.

Being fully employed in a less paying company without much economical exposure is almost a waste of time. Most of those guys u see on the street hustling make more than those sitting down in the office enduring managerial insults and undue pressure from targets.

But the good thing about for a corporate company is the exposure u get and the tendencies to make things happen. Beside this, pple look up to you because they know ur experience with corporate world has made u more enlightened than they are.

Money shouldn't be the only thing to look at but also consider the privileges u have that they don't have, societal value and the ability to live a more enlightened life.

The hard truth on the flipped side of the coin...as a graduate earning meagre salary compared to not-so-literate artisans who earn more, you stand a chance at better planning and execution of projects than the artisans who lack formal requisite experience at putting scarce resources to optimum use.

With the right attitude, Eskimos are most likely to buy ice from you than from the artisans.

That's the difference bro
