I'm roughly 2-3 months away from rounding off my NYSC programme and I just got a job with a telecomm firm and they resolved to paying 60k per month (after tax). Now I'm at a crossroad because I was aiming for something higher than this. This really has nothing to do with pride as some people might assume, just that I'm somewhat disturbed that the sum is not 'okay' enough, considering the harsh realities confronting the economy presently. I'm expected to start soon and I'm so confused, whether to accept or reject the offer.

kapai:
Experience is the beat teacher,your just a young graduate.If after your t-fare expenses and you still have something left in the pocket.I'll advice you to pickup the job from there you now work for something greater.


Don't forget we have thousands of unemployed out there begging for such opportunity.

bros some people earn 10k a month

Chai, l went to a bar last night to drink in my location outside Nigeria though, l recall when l got the bill from the bar man it amounted to 27,000 Naira equivalent, and to imagine that some people earn 10k is heart breaking, l weep for Nigeria, the poverty in that country stinks to the heavens, Nigeria has oil and yet still very poor with poor infrastructure all over the country, may God punish all those who put Nigeria in this present quagmire

Histrings08:

OP and senseless goat

nkechiasogwa:
Reject the job even when you have no better option yet. When you would have searched for a job for 5 years or more, you will still come back here to ask stupid question. You are a fresh graduate, u 've got no work experience, yet u are not grateful for the opportunity God has set before u. Do u realize some pple do volunteer jobs just to gain experience in other to move higher? Get sense.

richard870:
@Op, Thats why our country is in a financial quagmire. If @ dis stage of you life you can't make a simple decision (especially one which concerns your future) without coming to a forum like nairaland points to one thing and one thing only 'Lacklustre mentality'

Advice: Kindly assess you lifestyle in relation to the economic realities of Nigeria
