Feeding alone consumes the salary

There's definitely a better offer for you since you already have an NCE.

Pls do not entertain any comfort you see there. I would advise you to add extra tutorials to it. Yet, there's nothing good about that salary.

All will be well with you someday.

How are you Coping, despite the Harsh Economy?

Op I like your boldness but I advice you look for better job, you see this life no one will live it for you, its better you understand that you create the future you want by yourself, I was once like you but the day I understand that you don't stay one place that isn't favoring you for a long time, my mindset towards life changed.
I have a genuine business for you, and am not asking you to pay a dime. If interested check my number below.

Lemme advise you. The fact is that all those things they thought us in school are not really relevant in the real world. They're useful but they're too low for what the modern skill market needs. If you want to get a good pay you'll have to reeducate yourself by taking courses online and watching youtube videos.

Do you have a laptop?

If yes, then I think you should quite that 15k job. It might be tough but I believe it's the right thing to do. There'll be tough times that might make you regret leaving your 15k job but try to focus on where you're going.

Find time to learn WordPress and/or graphics design. If you're smart you should be up and running with WordPress in one month of intensive study.

Next, jump to facebook and create a business page. Same on twitter.

Next, offer to design websites for businesses for free but they'll pay for their domain name and hosting. These are the ones you'll use as portfolio and sample.

Next, start advertising aggressively on twitter and facebook that you'll help people design a website for 5k. Finding one client a week is possible. You may need to visit hubspot to learn about digital marketing tricks and tips.

The above is just to give you a quick side hustle to get some money. It's not really enough to build a future on. But the small money you're getting from it should help you stay away from teaching jobs.

Next, you should learn a sustainable skill like copywriting, data science, web programming. There's money in these skills. It might take some time before you land your first job but once you do. Your life will turn around drastically. I won't say much.

Pro tip: once you learn these things, make sure you build a brand of your own; business name, website, facebook page etc.

Now, you might ask:
1 - how do I get a laptop?
2 - how do I get money to sustain myself for my first few months of learning?

Go and borrow money from your family and friends. I'm sure you'll have secondary and university mates that have become quite comfortable. Talk to them and see if they can be borrowing you 20k per month for the next three months (15k for food and 5k for data).

By this time next year, by the grace of God, you'll have paid those debts and be living decently to say the least.

Exactly, this is my line. Those are what I did, learnt, hands-on practical when NYSC alawi was about to stop.
Now I'm praising God. Covid-19 free online courses even helped me while observing the Stay-home and curfews.

I'm a self made Intermediate Dev, now looking forward to become a DevPro.

How are you Coping, despite the Harsh Economy?


Let me give you a brotherly advice, and I hope you work on it...

First of all I counsel people and I have done that on nairaland for a while... I have met great and good guys...

I dropped a story about my experience teaching in two schools as a corper and would not mind partnering with schools in abuja, but some accused me of looking for teaching job... Never ever mind what people say...

Back to the matter...

As a graduate, teaching and earning 15k, e no bad... But once you have a good (android) phone, go to any car stand of your choice around your area... Listen well, any good car stand and ask to see the manager... Tell him you want to help him market his cars and get good buyers... 90% of car stand managers will sign u on... Tel him you will be paid a small commission after sales...

Pick up your phone, snap as many cars as your phone memory can take, open a dedicated twitter ac, IG ac, Facebook ac, WhatsApp ac, ac etc... Take out time to post this cars, make sure you have the actual prices of this cars... You can add as much as #250k on it... Bring down the negotiations to as low as making #50k if need be just so I can sell. Set your monthly target... I assure you, if you get I client in a month, u make around #100,000k once you start growing, you can get as much as 5-10 client from all over the country and that hits you over #1m for just helping others sell their cars, Note all you invested was your time, energy, phone and data... No big financial capital...

Do not restrict yourself to cars, go for industrial machines as well, caterpillars, mikano gens, any thing, then you look for those big companies that need them and try to call their attention to it or market it to them... You may not sell in 3 months but when you manage to get a client to buy just 1 caterpillars, my brother you will instantly forget that u suffered before...

A friend of mine was marketing a silo for a local wielder, he received a call all the way from kebbi state, the purchase was made in Ilorin, he made #1.8 mil from buyers and #400k from seller... He still got a referral from that deal. Wake up bro...

Within a month or two, come and pay (tite).

I drive uber/bolt in abuja, market cars, sell commodities such as beans, maize, wheat, ginger,onions, name it... In bags and tonnes
And I make nothing less than half a mil monthly...

This is a great insult, even non graduate can't do this let alone graduate. 15 k is for teen agers. someone turned down a 20k job today despite free accommodation. don't settle for less, there are opportunities, you only need good information to get them

Don't feel down, regretting will only worsen matter. Just focus on your trade, add more to your skillset and also tweak along on your education.

Na God. Each job is 24 hours. I got two security jobs that as little stress. I sleep at night and the next day I go to the other work. So I was moving from work to work. I only go home once in a while during weekends. That if my supervisors give me permission.
