I am a graduate of Economics and also hold an OND in Business Administration.

Since I came back from service in December, it has been difficult to get a job.

I have been following up on a contract bank job at Uyo for 68k with my OND for some time, at last, I got it but I am having double thoughts.

The offer letter came the same time I just started a small job in Ikoyi for 50k today and still have some interviews coming up especially d NNPC test here in Lagos.

The problem is that, I'm the first son, my Family needs me here, especially my Dad, but I want to go to Uyo and start my life, but I fear using OND to start will limit my chances of growth when I could use my Bsc here in Lagos.

My Family have supported me in my journey for d exams and interviwes in Uyo and Ph but now, they prefer I stay back in Lagos.

I have until friday to respond to the Bank, and I just started a Sales Manager at a fashion store in Ikoyi for 50k.

I have some interviews coming up and I also hope to learn programming and others.

I dont have anyone really in Uyo, so if I go, its like starting life again without my family, I just came back Jos where I did my NYSC.

My question is, What do u think I should do?

Go to Uyo with my OND for 68k?

Or,

Stay in Lagos, start small and look for better jobs with my Bsc. I am 26.

Thank you.

If the reason why you're holding back is in anyway remotely family, trust me, you'll later regret it.

Family loves you when you're rich and successful. They tolerate you when you're struggling.

You're correct Sir.

Stay back in Lagos.

Lots of opportunities abound in Lagos.
I was in your shoes months back,

Got an offer in Ado Ekiti For 70k
But I decided not to go, I felt I can't settle
For less. 3month ago i got another one
at SPAR in abuja, didn't go again cos its was 60k
job and also not a career path for me.

But today I am in better place with a better pay.
Don't be too desperate for any how job that will
tie you down and in the nearest future you
start to regret, upgrade yourself academically and
Engage in professional courses,
if you can and never settle for less.

All you need now is lots of experiences

Set your priorities aright, know exactly what you.
It is you first before your family. But at the same time
They are your guardian angel.

In summary, stay back and continue with job search.
One day it will pay you.
