Why I Dropped My Degree To Become A Taxi Driver by linztech(op): 8:56am On Apr 30, 2016
While some Nigerian women are today
afraid of the car steering wheel, others
have decided to earn a living in the male-
dominated field of taxi drivers. One of such ladies is Delta State-born
Susan Asakpa.
“I studied Accounting at the University of
Nigeria, Nsukka. I worked in a hotel for
about three years. There was nothing new
anymore, no challenge and the salary was
stagnant. Later on, my boss called me up
and told me that he will be reducing my
salary by N10,000. I was surprised.”
“Before then, I have been thinking about
what business I can do. I had three
business ideas (hair dressing, food and taxi
business). I prayed
about them after which I chose this one,”
the young lady continued.
“I spoke with my dad who happens to be
my closest confidant and he quickly got a
loan from the bank and bought me this car.
He has been so supportive, not a single
word of discouragement,” she said.
