I Am Confused On Choices To Make by Extraking(op): 1:33pm On May 02, 2020
Hello nairalanders, so I'll try to be as brief as possible. I finished my service last year, and during service i was able to learn shoemaking, still need to perfect it though.

This year I got a job that pays 60k per month but i spend about 25k on transport (its on the island while i stay on the mainland)..

Recently, i learnt graphics design, web development, video amimation and got certified in digital marketing (online course) which i am yet to perfect.
I know that the other skills (grapjics design, animation) will be needed in digital marketing and before i can get a digital marketing job, i'd need to have some experiences, most companies say atleast 1yr..

Now my confusion is should i seek to volunteer (which i may not be paid) as a digital marketer in a company to get experience which would mean i will have to leave my current job which is sustaining me or i leave the job first, focus on shoemaking and also seek to volunteer for digital marketing.

Note that my shoemaking craft can't sustain me for now as i am still kinda new, don't have much customers yet.

Please help
