This article is so wrong I dont even know where to begin

1. The average employee typically works a 5 day week or roughly 20 days in month. I completely disgree with the premise of the OP's dubious calculations, but even if the calculations were grounded in some sort of logic, shouldn't the OP be dividing by 20 instead of 30?

2. The OP also misses the point by comparing an employee and his steady income to Hawkers,Truckers etc with their irregular cash flow. Again I doubt the veracity of his stats with regards to the earnings of hawkers, truckers and co, but even if the stats were true, The OP still fails to consider that even though the Hawker could earn 2000 Naira in a day, he/she is not guaranteed an income of 120k per month unlike the Banker

The crux of the OP's assertion is Business Owners have the potential to earn more than employees. The OP fails to consider the level of risk that these entrepreneurs are exposed to.

For the vast majority of people, it is better to go to work and be guaranteed your 300k monthly salary jejely, than to go and out hustle with no true knowledge of when the next paycheck is coming.

what you just typed is all bullshit, my mum makes close to 200,000 as a level 15 officer working on a govt job that an average of 6000 per day if divided by 30 and 10000 per day if divided by 20 but the monthly 200,000 remain dsame, and she works 7 hours daily monday to friday

Now I, as an undergraduate i work in the transport business and i earn an ever sure 8000 naira per day after paying my assistants and working for around 7 hours also 6 days a week, and due to the fact that i still live with my family i tend to save each moneyvi make per day in the bank, that about 50000 per week, and about 208,000 per month and my monthly earnings have never been less than195,000 per month before and am in full control of my business and i earn more than my parents who have been working in the civil service for about 25 years.

Nigeria is a gold mine graduates and youths arent just willing and always myopic to see it they are thousands of ways to make it without waiting or looking for a white collar job around.

I visited a supermarket last week and heard the owner tell his son to grow up and become a banker. I shook my head and politely asked the man to tell his son to grow up and employ many bankers. The son's mother gave me a warm handshake. That's the new spirit.

The era of going to school with the sole aim of becoming an employee is long gone. We need more job creators these days.

While I know not everyone's got the knack and courage to be an entrepreneur, emphasising it will certainly create more of them.

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

arabianights:
Most people really want to be entrepreneurs but fear of the unknown and the lack of focus or foresight as well as well as fear of failing is stopping them

Nihilist:
You are an undergraduate working 7hours a day, 6 days a week...

Are you actually studying at all?

Anyway, all you've done is tell me that you are running a successful business. I don't know how true it is, but congratulations all the same.
You must remember that just because a business is running smoothly for you doesn't mean it's the same for everybody else out there...

I have some issues with the op.

1) in paid employment, your salary is guaranteed! Not so for a self employed person. The days H is ill, no income, the day it rained too much, no income! The say his work tools break down, less/no income!

2) in paid employment, your salary is guaranteed, not so for th self employed person. You can't be sure you will make a certain amount in the day!

3) in Paid employment, you grow. You get promotion or move to another job. Your ability to earn increase with your experience. Not so for the self employed. Yes, if you are exceptional, you can charge a premium but the premium can't be too high or you won't get business. For example, my 1st job was 18k per month 14 years later I earn nearly that everyday

asatemple:
In that case, me that is jobless for more than one year now should go and die. Bros at all at all. Na witch, forget

This got me thinking. . .entrepreneurship is the key.

adegeye38:
am just trying to change your perception about business and entrepreneurship and yes, am studying and i also find a way to combine both perfectly

You just spoke my mind. Everybody keeps screaming the word entrepreneur. Many fail to realise that we still need people who practice what they studied. If everyone goes into business who would then be our doctors, lawyers, nurses, Academicians, etc Aliens?? Please note that I am not trying to discredit entrepreneurs, but we need to be realistic, we are losing some of our best professionals to this "Be your own boss" thing.

The doctor and nurse can plan to have their own hospitals, the lawyer can establish a law firm after gaining the neccesary experience, the teacher can plan to have his own school or educational consulting firms. We need more than 1 million entrepreneurs or employees with entrepreneurial drive in Nigeria.

eleshin:
And if we all become Enterpreneur how do we now get employees?
