Whatever you do, make sure you go to school and graduate with a good result. Contrary to popular naija opinion, school is not a scam. At least, not yet anyway. Your barbing skills should save you when you are low on cash as it is a skill that is in demand everywhere not to talk of a student environment. Nothing stopping you from doing all that you want, it only requires wisdom and patience because young people of nowadays are always in a hurry, that's why they crash and burn. Nothing stopping you from being a jack of all trades, master of most all.

XOXO,

Wayward Pikin.

Tar! All of you with this slave mindset. Will school determine his future? I'm damn sure you didn't even go to school else you will know that education doesn't necessarily mean attending a university. Spits!

PS: School na scam.

Hungry man, I greet you sir.

Can you bet on yourself?

OP YOU CAN DO BOTH, BUT THE BLOCKCHAIN DEVELOPMENT DO IT AT NIGHT OR YOUR LEISURE TIME, THANKS.

And you feel you can't learn blockchain while schooling?. Once you put your mind to it, school would not distract you. I know people who made shit load of cash from side hustle while schooling at the same time. Go to school bro.

Lol. I believe "Hungry man" means something else. No shame to ask me for anything if you need

Come teach me the blockchain first me i be motivation on my own ....08056030658

I will advice you to continue barbing for 1 more year, make all the savings you can and start your own barbing shop where you can employ others. Then go ahead with your university education. Forget forex for now. It's not as rosy as they paint it.

If you're not hungry then why lashing out in frustration? It is well with you man. You can still go back and try to finish school if it pains you so much.

How can you work for 15hrs daily and make only 40k monthly? Are you cutting your customers hair for free?

The cheapest haircut anywhere in Nigeria currently is N400, if you cut 10 people in a day..that's 4k. Working 15hrs...you must cut more than 10 hairs unless you are idle in most of the hours.

For fvck's sake don't close the barbershop. If there's free time within the 15hrs, use it to do other things or get barbers to assist you while you engage in a supplementary source of income, but ensure you stay at the shop and monitor your business. Don't leave or lease your shop to anyone...

It isn't my shop boss

You can do part time school and still be doing your barbing job + learning other skills at spare times, except you have somebody to sponsor ur school outright .

Are you okay?
Education is very important, if you can school and learn altogether better. But don't ever drop out of school

Hi
Thank you for opening this post. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated!

I am barber, just turned 19 few weeks ago and I am supposed to start my uni education tomorrow but that is not the problem.

I earned upwards of 40... Maybe 60k most of which I aid my siblings with. But it's too demanding, like 14 or 15 hours a day everyday. And I have some skill trading forex but I don't do it now.

Right now I want to drop barbing and possibly school to learn blockchain development. My mom will prolly take me for deliverance. Lol.
I am buying a laptop tomorrow. Already dropped social media, right now its just Reddit and NL.

I am greatly worried about my future and tired of living inna trap.

I remember learning about Bitcoin like 7 years ago but couldn't get in till this year.

My parents can give moral advice but I need you on this one. Thanks

leave forex alone I repeat, leave forex alone it's a zero sum game! I wasted close to 15yrs of my life on that shit!!!!. If only I had gone into crypto then by now I'll have been a billionaire in usd

No man, I think you are missing it. You spent 15 year doing the forex stuff without any result doesn't mean is a bad business.
I spent 4 year learning forex and I am doing great. Believe me, no business or job can pay you more than trading forex, stocks, commodities, synthetics or cryptocurrencies.
The question is, did you have what it takes to trade forex?
some Nigerians has poor mentality when it comes to trading. Before you can succeed here( trading forex) you must :
1) Have the right education/information about forex as job/sector itself which include studying from forex 101, good strategy to engage the market, having a proper risk management system in place, have a trading plan you will stick to.
then, be focused, discipline and patient.
2) Psychology: Forex is 90% psychology and 10% skill.
3) Patience, patience, patience;
how do you engage the market? how do you engage the market? what is your risk tolerance level?
4) you must have a zero tolerance for greed.
Nigerians are too greedy. They want to earn it all at once. No! have a realistic target weekly and engage the market.
I teach, coach and mentor individuals willing to take forex as a means of life. you don't need to pay me any thing to get the knowledge. just send a text message if you are interested.

Don't drop your barbing skill for anything,even the money you made from blockchain can be invested in several barning salon outlets,there's nothing better than investments,just find good barbers put there and be collecting ur percentage.you can actually do all together if you have good plan written out....

Young man go to school, you need education for you to do well in blockchin business.

The op already said he is not the owner of the shop.

Can you handle both together?

If no, how will you feed while learning the Blockchain Development: very important!!!

No I can't handle both.. Feeding isn't a problem. Electricity might be

True talk, i started learning forex in 2019 and have gone live before n blew accounts ( mainly due to mistakes, greed etc). You are right ..there is good money in forex, i mean very good money if u know how to trade, obey money management, remove greed and all. I was even surprised to read his statement, the guy failed woefully, sorry to say he failed to learn and on the other hand i doubt what he said...15years ahh , if na me get the knowledge of forex and experience for 15 years, i would have become a multi millionare. Dont worry i will sure get there

lafiagi007:
Its a decision you'll live to be happy about making, but just know that journey to the world of software engineering is not the same thing as Yahoo Yahoo, it takes a lot of time, it's mentally demanding and tasking. Money dey blockchain oo my guy, cool money, you may not get a job as fast as you may anticipate but the moment you get it, you and bank manager na the same salary una go dey collect . What am I saying focus on building yourself throughout the journey and leave out the journey and don't of overwhelm yourself with how much you can make.

Thanks. You a dev. too?

The parents are a big problem in our life sometimes.

ETH co-funder Vitali Buterin, drop out of college for blockchain technology. Today he is Billionaire in dollars, his work is available in the university as a subject.

If Vitali is a son of black parents like Nigerians, just guess what would have happened when the guy dropped out of school.

You will hear all sorts of stories from pastors and imams.

If you are good at what you want to do go-ahead.

While you are studying blockchain technology, start or continue to trade.

you may want to install xumm app on your phone and sologenic dex on your laptop, check twitter for available airdrops, it is free. from there, we get your startup capital.

You have a barbing skill Damn if you were a brother of mine I would be very happy

Lol. This made me smile wide

AutoChick4U:
You can be a mobile barber in school and also indulge in crypto as well.

I do crypto already...
But I want to go into development. Like creating building payment systems for crypto, smart contracts, nfts etc

If that's the case you can start learning the Blockchain Stuff, however know that it'll take you some time to start reaping returns and it's very important that get a mentor.

PapaNnamdi:
I sorry for all of una wey de give this guy advice.
See enh


This guy has encountered a fraudster(yahoo yahoo)
Wey give am the usual line" I'm into Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading" or I'm into "Blockchain development"
They are fraudsters yahoo yahoo modafokas.

Hiding under the money they stole from clients or from people's crypto wallet,


Some of them now steal cryptocurrency stash it in their wallet and tell u they are into Blockchain and crypto trading,


They are all thieves,

*Facepalm*

Go into blockchain dev with your full chest, give it your all, be dedicated and serious with it. In no time, you'll be glad you made this decision. The blockchain and crypto field is a white field ready to be harvested, only the smart and proactive ones will get a chunk of that harvest.

FILEBE:
You can do all together with time and dedication. Don't rush it . Please go to school. That shouldn't be compromised . You don't have to be the best in your class or anything , just go to school acquire knowledge and make lots of contacts. Walk with likeminds like yourself and you will achieve more . One of the Best thing out of school is the people you will meet.

If you have a laptop and active Internet, your learnings with be easier.

Barbing could be a side hustle.
Don't be greedy, don't compare yourself with others. Be contented.

Doing all these together makes you an HUSTLER. This is king of HUSTLING we are talking about, not some shady,fraud or drug dealings.

You are still young . You have plenty time. I sincerely respect your hustle man. It is a motivation to other youths. Please keep it up and you will see how far you will go.


Don't be greedy, don't compare yourself with others ,live withing your means, Go legit!

Thanks. I appreciate

Op, this is what i see.....
