Should I Quit This Job? by Nobody: 1:25am On Feb 03, 2023
I work from 8am-8pm, Monday to Saturday. My pay is 12k. I teach students how to operate computers and do some other cafe jobs. As a result of the teaching I have even lost my voice too. And I have also be coding with my phone. The thing is I've foodstuffs that can keep me healthy for months also 60k in my account I want to use and buy a laptop and start coding but this job is not giving me chance to learn coding effectively. And it seems my future depends on programming. Please what should I do?? Should I quit this job get a Laptop maybe do freelancing writing to support myself get a better Laptop later but continuing the job also considering the pain I'm going through. Should I continue or stop this job.

You can't get a good laptop with 60k though😐
You'll need a good laptop if you want to start coding

hello sir.... don't quit.
I had a friend in your shoes years ago... guess what, HE MADE SO MUCH MONEY FROM THE EXACT JOB YOU ARE DOING.
Here is how....

He learned many online money making ways on his phone, and during his classes he introduces it to his students... and some paid him to teach them privately online.
One of the things he learned was URL SHORTENER with adfly... so he should give about 50 of his students the task to click on his links for him... this gave him 50-80usd monthly because most of the teenagers used VPNs so it registered as foriegn clicks... he made money.

before long he started a whatsapp TV with his students and in 2 years it grew to over 3000views per post and in the same two years, his URL SHORTENER has become a group where everyone visits each others links and that's how from a 20k monthly salary he was making 170k monthly, he bought laptop, paid rent for a better place, bought keke for 600k and MOVED HIS LIFE FORWARD.... right now, he makes minimum of 500k monthly from whatsapp tv, ebooks and paid classes he hold online.

sure he left the 20k monthly computer school teacher job once he hit his first 150k... but I hope you understood my point.

MAXIMIZE THAT PLACE, USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.
All you need is LIGHT, so you can see the unlimited advantage you have there
its well.

Quitting your job at this period of time will be of huge disadvantage to you because learning programming takes times and requires money for data and constant electricity.

Meanwhile, how good are you at writing? What type of writing are you into and do you have samples of your work? If yes, you could use it on upwork and try applying locally.

It doesn't get easy by quitting unless you can provide yourself with an opportunity before quitting.

Let's be realistic, this suggestion is nice but not easy considering his situation or if I will be blunt with you, It is rather unrealistic!

- Remember he works for someone, he wouldn't want to jeopardize his position by teaching something outside what was given to him after all, he works in a cafe. Also he mentioned coding with his phone even though he works in cafe which means, they may be strict.
Your friend has a degree of freedom to be able to achieve what he did.

- It took your friend more than two years before leaving there, and his "many" ways of making money by making people click on a link isn't something that could happen now.

- Also, Op works 8am - 8pm, what time does your friend leave his place of work?. I have been in that position so he has tiny chance of hosting classes, that is, if his only day of rest is Sunday.

- Also, your friend earn way higher than him but I feel their experiences are different. I get the idea you are suggesting which is great but won't be easy.

Mehn this sounds like daylight robbery man.. I can’t say quit the job because I don’t have job to give you o but man if you have a plan quit the job.

I quit my job paying me 60k last year January to face what o wanted most in life . I had a side job that gave me 10k a week then so I continued with that till I got what I wanted in July last year.

So if you want to quit your job have a plan of exit, don’t quit and sleep at home o my gee

What is a whatsapp TV?
A micro social arena created by the owner to engage his status viewers with entertainment and some bits of advertising.

If you can have hundreds or thousands of views to your status, you can monetize it by charging people who want to advertise

Okay sir, thanks.

I can't say I'm good at a professional level but usually when I writes it is more of inspiration to people so I don't even know which niche will be better for me but I am studying books about copywriting like "My life in advertising" and the likes.

It doesn't get easy by quitting unless you can provide yourself with an opportunity before quitting.
I have heard all what you've said sir, thanks.

Everything you stated above is the plain truth. I won't be able to shift in a package outside the class because I'm being watched closely but I will still see how I will do it because I really need the money.

So essentially having hundreds of people have your phone number because they want to view your whatsapp Status? Might not work for folks like me. If I see too much ads on some of my contacts status, BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK

It’s about understanding the psyche of the average Nigerian.

Any business with a low barrier to entry is always flooded.

Which is why the business model that works in Nigeria is to either set up a business with a high barrier to start or sell to the businesses with low barriers.

WhatsApp TV is an avenue to start a blog, a YouTube channel or become a social media influencer.

I think TikTok is a raving thing now. A friend’s wife like play like play earns over 1k usd monthly.

Since the business model became crowded it began to lose its value and people seem to consider the guys to be spamming their whatsapp status.

Yes tiktok has taken it's place and is generating lots of income for people this days, I won't be surprised if they even paid her more than that cos the numbers of business looking for influencers to help them create awareness and referral are just too much.

Yeah, as it is it's not worth investing on including being an influencer on other social media unless you're of great personality or have this untouched knowledge which keeps people intrigued..
The best option is to learn a skill or of you could get a loan to start a business you're sure it'll yield profit asap.

Discuss with the school to reduce your workload to 3 days a with with same pay or 10k. If your contribution is valuable they will.

If they say no, tender your resignation if you know your Worth take a week submit your CV to 100 schools in your area. This time don't sell yourself short and have at least two to three days off to yourself.

You can start from there.

Man wey no get time no fit make progress.
