Taking a job just for the money might seem like a reasonable thing to do, but that does not mean it’s a good idea especially if your career is just kicking off. It’s advisable that at this point in your career, your focus shouldn’t be on accumulating immense wealth, instead, it should be on how you can gain the necessary experience that will enable you become the best in whatever you do.

This is because, having lots of training and experience in whatever career you choose does not only equip you with the essential skills and knowledge that’s required to propel you to the next level, it also makes you a valuable asset rather than a liability for the organization you will work for.

Though there are exceptions to this, like when the responsibilities in your hands are much and will require finance for them to be taken care of, then by all means, go for a job that pays more. But if that’s not the case, then you should go for a job that will enable you attain experience in whatever career you have chosen.

The money will come later and in greater amount than when you have not gained any experience because, people or organizations usually want the best of the best and will be willing to pay more for your services if you are an expert with lots of experience in your field.

Experience comes with job satisfaction.

Money precedes both unless you are not in the sh!thole.

For me I would say going for the experience is better. When you have good no of yrs of experience n become an expertise in your field the money you think is good pay now would be nothing compared to what you will worth and earn by then.

Since you are starting out (entry level) go for experience...
If you have some experience already; make some money with the experience you have.


The money is 'exhaustive' . The experience is 'not exhsustive'.

Right now, I'd 'kill' for a job that offers experience...

A job that offer both

Both...

Hmmmmm

Which yeye experience

What was the decision?

Pays well o

There are lots of online learning tools and you can also collaborate

wwwtortoise:

Your point on gaining experience in what ever form of job you do is valid and accepted. However, in the society we find ourselves, you just don't need the experience alone, you also need cash to take care of your needs and in detention the needs of your loved ones. Well, I think you should go for the job that pays better, though it depends on the condition of the jobs. If it on a permanent or temporary basis and if it is a federal or private sector job.

∆ This question answers the question?

Even Kidnapping and armed robbery give experience ∆

In Nigeria, go for a job that pays well so that you don't start carrying brown envelop up and down again....
.
In Abroad go for a job that offers experience because experience equates more money/offer there.
#I Miss Abroad!

The jobs that give massive experience pays well.

Top notch oil & gas/banks/telecoms/etc...

If you happen to be in a regular sme, pls bargain for a good pay and do the trainings and courses yourself.

If the company can afford to give you massive experience why cant it pay you or dont they get paid for the "mastered experience" it is said to have and willing to teach you?

Dont be deceived by the CEO's playing the guilty and sympathy card on you while they drive into the coy with 2018 gclass. If you see where top managers fight for their salary before surbodinates, you would hava a change of mind.

depends on the situation, for me now, I Will go with experience

Is there a job that doesn't offer experience?

I Go For The Money And The Experience. But As Usual Money First

What was the decision?

Got a job of 200k to just to monitor an hotel network system.. the Got another one 110k this was my field with a lot more to learn.. I choose the 110k bro

yes

Experience for what?

Meanwhile happy birthday to Maxwell767



But why would a moderator ban him on his birthday because he posted it on Nairaland

@Seun ur moderators are something else

Which experience, those days i was in the field of HR, i advised a co-worker who got offer of #2.4m including other incentives to other office given him 1.2m and promising him trainings that will not come to past. That is ICT sector.

You can imagine him asking me which offer he will settle for,so annoying.

Maybe the one with high pay demands alot from you and hence your peeping of the lower option

twinskenny:
yes

Beg to differ. All jobs offer experience but not all experiences are relevant

In Nigeria, answering that question is tricky. I went for experience but I have my doubts about the choice...

money is very important, no money no power.

Hmmn

Until faced with options, I can't say which I'd go for.

It will depend on the Jobs and what you mean by "experience".

Example of jobs with good pay without experience is Federal Civil Service.. You just go to work to gist with colleagues and read newspapers and go home by 12noon.. Notin learnt.. At the end of the month, salary enters...

No self development..
