Make Money Before You Get A Job by lansintech(m): 10:10pm On Oct 30, 2018

Sounds contradictory right? I mean while make money then get a job to make money.
Ideally a job is a machinery where you develop your labor skills, interpersonal skills and help the economy at the same time for a token fee. However, the Nigerian Labor system is one of exploitation where the only one who benefits is your boss that's why they always need young workers fresh out of university who haven't earned wages with the aim of paying them chump change that does not measure up to the value one provides for the company and end up with you hating your job and feeling entitled which causes frustration when you are demoted, berated or fired
Take it from a dude grin who has chopped every type of insult known to man in the work place, before you find a job you should know your value and come correct(wink by the way that’s what I mean by make money first before you get a job)
When I was 23 years old I started a job with a pretty cool tech firm and I went there with the 'I am here to learn' mentality ,omo I turn company driver, I turn receptionist,I turn door mat for people to dey shine all my ideas weren't valued and at the end of the day I got so seriously depressed that I just stopped work without the official tender of resignation then I found another job and entered with the 'I no dey gree' mentality which meant I wasn't gonna take their "corrections" or perform any 'favors' for anyone and I'm not lying when I say I was under probation on my 3rd month.
I notice them dey always throwe head for ground for one small boy wey dey the office,I come follow the guy flow only to find out his dad was an ex minister and he drives a ford and studied in the uk and is just working to build his cv I mean this guy I won't lie he was good at his job but if he misses work or makes a mistake on the job they don't say anything to him whereas the day I said I was sick, they yelled at me over the phone, wrote me up and I had to spend 3k to get sick report to show them at work before they believed me and didn't deduct my pay, I started to feel bad that perhaps I was really really incompetent or a push over people just loved to pick on j mean it was so bad I even got blamed for my boss's mistakes shocked have you seen that kind thing before?
anyway my agidi got me demoted because I wasn't seeing eye to eye with mgt and I ended up leaving again.
The moral of the story is not just to have a lot of cash and wear designer clothes and stuff but to have a sense of your worth before you start your career, plan your career path know your strengths and develop on your short comings, step your game up have the mentality of a leader have the mind of building the company that will put you high above your peers by far no matter your position,
you will notice people will talk to you with respect, they won't send you on unnecessary errands, you won't be talked down to and you definitely won't be on the wrong side of company politics
