Please forgive my errors, I'm not a professor in English language, we just de try.

I completed my nysc program last year, life didn't actually go they way i thought it would, i spent bout 6 months searching for employment, i finally got a job in a bank microfinance organisation..i was able to secure the job through a sister.

Being working there now for almost 8 month now, truth be told the salary is not worth the stress and hazard we face in the field, apart from not having time for anything else because i have to get to work 7:30am and close 6-7pm.

The salary is 65k but after removing from tax,pension and all,my take home is 54k.

Now I'm considering reg, I've started learning graphic deg on YouTube, so that i won't be idle, I'm planning to save up for some months before reg.

Apart from the job being too stressful, I've had alot of witch craft and crazy experiences, trust me its not being easy.

Please am i making the best decision reg because i don't have any other job, my PlanB is the graphic deg i just started learning, spent most of my savings purchasing a brand new laptop.

I don't know with reg will be ok considering the situation of our country.

Please advice a brother.Thank you

Ok let me start like this, 'the presence of giants simply signify you have entered canaan'

See it's tough everywhere,every organization will milk you dry regardless of how much they are paying you. Never despise your days of little beginning, they are the years that thought you the experience you will need I'm the future. Now as regards to witchcraft attack, my brother life is spiritual. Every organization bows to a deity(be it God or devil). It's not left for you to fight back(God is the only option for you there).

Continue to improve your skills,learn and get certification in courses that you drive ion from, let your job take care of some bills for you. As for the working hours I understand,but you just have to sacrifice for better days ahead.

Don't quite your job,rather search for another while still on this job.

I don't think you can learn any tangible thing from YouTube, graphics deg is a broad field and YouTube videos are not in-depth.they are just like Google to get information about something,you can't use/watch the videos to become a professional in graphics deg,there is so many things you need to know and YouTube videos won't cover that.youtuber are also hustling for money, that's why they make their videos short and brief.i know how many years I spent in learning different tools used for graphics design.Graphic design is a good skills.

Modify-: Only people that have Professional knowledge on the topic and have tour youtube very well will understand what am saying. To discuss everything concerning a Training program on video will run into terabytes of mobile data. You can only discussed some part of it. Because NIGERIANS love free things, they are ok with their limited knowledge. They will claim they learn something on youtube, yet they will keep asking foolish questions concerning what they claim to learn. Too much love for free things will limit you from getting quality knowledge. Youtube video is just to assist people who already have a foundation (quality training) on what they want to learn

I get what you're saying bro, but with the little knowledge I've been able to acquire With this online tutorials it's being helpful...like I'm being able to have to basic knowledge bout adobe illustrator ..Even if I'll need to develop myself more on it knowing the basics would help not make things too difficult.
P.s: they ain't just videos, i have the ones of 3-4hrs

To be candid, you may need to endure the situation for some time so that you can save some money to pursue your ion. It seems corporate job is not your bit. As you acknowledge that you are not that good in English. It may be difficult getting a good job in corporate world without developing your skills especially in your areas of deficiency.
Mind you, pursuing your ion is not an escape route either. Competition is real in the marketplace. Therefore, whatever route you want to take, there is no place for mediocrity. So, you need to brace up.

My little advice

Have you draft out the plans of what you want to do?
Do you have the necessary resources to execute your plans.?

While working on your graphics tutorial work, try and be looking for other opportunities too, you can work as a freelancer and all.......

But, Note, Dont resign until you start making a good cash from your graphic design work bro.

Nigeria is Hard oooo and Hunger no dey make design idea come up

To do what ?

Resign cos of stress ?

See there is a thin line between actual stress and one being fckin lazy.

Don't resign until u find something else that will pay Ur bills.
.
Leave all that u want to learn this or that. You might soon get tired of the whole thing and stop learning.

So what will pay Ur bills ?

I read witchcaft experience. Will u resign from a 1million per month job because of withcrafts ?


The little respect given to u from the street na because of the small income u dey make

By the time u become nonentity, nobody go send u message

Av a rethink bro

You need to fast and pray very hard before you decide to leave. God gave you the job that is now stressful so you need to consult God again. Nobody can do this for you.

Please forgive my errors, I'm not a professor in English language, we just de try.

I completed my nysc program last year, life didn't actually go they way i thought it would, i spent bout 6 months searching for employment, i finally got a job in a bank microfinance organisation..i was able to secure the job through a sister.

Being working there now for almost 8 month now, truth be told the salary is not worth the stress and hazard we face in the field, apart from not having time for anything else because i have to get to work 7:30am and close 6-7pm.

The salary is 65k but after removing from tax,pension and all,my take home is 54k.

Now I'm considering reg, I've started learning graphic deg on YouTube, so that i won't be idle, I'm planning to save up for some months before reg.

Apart from the job being too stressful, I've had alot of witch craft and crazy experiences, trust me its not being easy.

Please am i making the best decision reg because i don't have any other job, my PlanB is the graphic deg i just started learning, spent most of my savings purchasing a brand new laptop.

I don't know with reg will be ok considering the situation of our country.

Please advice a brother.Thank you

No comment since it's an offline job.
Howbeit for people like me that work online the best ways to reduce stress is to outsource or use Dropservising and still get to earn no matter the amount reason i usually state that ONLINE / REMOTE JOB is Bae.

If you have access to internet + browsing gadgets and you don't earn online then you are not wise and need not complain of been down financially .
Learn2Earn online rather than just browsing and chatting without earning a dime from your online activities.

Proactivity Leads To Productivity.

Bros you want to resign without an appropriate plan B?

The graphic design thing needs practise for you to perfect it. No one will give a newbie a job.

Best advice is to start bombing jobs sites for better work you're qualified for or keep the job and keep practicing the skill until it is profitable, not I'm just learning.

Freelance work sef hard so no let anyone decieve you ooo.

If you think that your current job is stressful and you have saved alot from it, you can resign. I would advise you to follow your mind though, if your new found love, graphic design can sustain you for long, then you can go for it.

Apart from the job being too stressful, I've had alot of witch craft and crazy experiences, trust me its not being easy.

This is where your problem is.
Your mindset. Your mentality.

You have to work on your emotional intelligence and be optimistic.

You need to read a lot of important books. Not motivational ones.

Develop yourself and become a refined person.

..

U will understand the meaning of this country when u quit that job u think is stressful. Cos u won't definitely see penny to even sub for that youtube ur learning the design not to talk of feeding urself
Never you quit a job tht pays u 50k and above in this country until u have saved or invested alot to do so. No friend or family, I repeat no friend or family fvcking cares about you. You will understand this line the moment u quit that job. Better respect urself n stay back there first whilst u package ur cv an apply for other baking jobs with better pay elsewhere.

If you quit that job now, even those that call u boss and senior man will all spit on u after seeing u in d house for some time.

I stayed good 5yrs after nysc at home(I live alone in d city) without a job. Was surviving it but wasnt that easy before I was landed my first mega appointment. Quote me,during that 5yrs,even my own mum was insulting me each time she calls me on fone reminding me how my mates v made it n I was wasting my life without knowing what I was ing through in d city. I felt so depressed almost wanted to take my life but here I am today. Am not earning million but I feel better than before.

So bros,stay back there n seek for better opportunities. Make use of the internet agressively. Apply for jobs. Belive me, with ur experience..u will always get interview invite. Once ur close in getting another job,u then leave that one ur doing now
