Got this job week ago.. but every day of working there seems to come with this feeling of emptiness in me..
And at a point I was considering the unthinkable...
You may not understand I'm coming from a family where entrepreneurship is the way of life .. and everyone is really doing great .. so this has always unconsciously made my mind to be carved with the mindset of "I can't just work for anybody"
But here is the problem .. I barely started this a week ago and this is my first Job .. though my skill is something I can sell any where . Was about closing yesterday when I got a text from a long term client to do some Jobs for him ..which ordinarily my work wouldn't have permitted..

I already decided to quit and go on with my former independent way of making money and trust me I really was doing good though the money wasn't consistent..

I already told my family.. and I'm really happy I took the step personally...

Matured nairalanders I will love to know if anyone had once been in my shoe.. and have I done it right?

Coming back to comment

If you'v got other skills that brings the money, then stay off the job you don't like.

.

As long as you have something/someone to pay your bills..yes cos you can't go and steal fa in the name of I hate my job.. except you get a better offer..

Since you have other means of survival, who cares about love for job? Money is the deal

If you can lay your hands on something else, then why not.

A bird in hand ehmmmm.......
You know the rest

Which kind question be that one

Yea ! Because you will always feel as if ur caged

Follow your heart

Bros, do not become a slave in another man's establishment when you can manage yours.

Do not listen to people with little or no ambition who tell you to remain in a comfort zone called paid employment, majority of Nigerians are frustrated because they are in that zone. If you have the means and the passion to do your own thing, do it

It is better to fail at the early stages of doing your own thing and eventually succeed than have a false sense of comfort fulfilling another man's dreams

it depends..... why not try manage the consistent pay and the inconsistent pay together.

when you quite a job you dont love ( and your only source of income ) share your experience then nobody go tell you say financially you are messed up

As far as you've an alternative, if not, use your head jeje stay for der.

my darling I quite agree with you.

How you doing?

Start making money check signature

Is it right to eat food you don't like when you have no alternative

Its all about money

Before you quit , have a back up plans

It's right if you have another one you like

That's all

It is not wise financially. But you would not be able to make a career out of it because you can't put in your best in what you don't like

Even entrepreneurs started as an employee. Learn what it takes before you venture into it

I'm having that same issues too. I find it hard to work as an employee, at least for a long period. I once got a job to week as a locum pharmacist but quit that same day because I felt totally useless there. I'm already very used to working for myself. Good thing I have a skill that's keeping me from being broke.
