People crave for government work because of the retirement benefits, if not nothing else. So for me, if I'm offer to choose between 20million naira cash or a government work whose salary is 30k for a start, I swear to God I will go for the 20million naira cash and establish a very good business that will be fetching me money on a daily basis, far more better than the civil service work. But if I'm ask to choose within a government work whose salary is 200k per month and 20million cash, I swear I will go for the civil service work. But just that such works are hard to find if you don't have godfathers in government.
Well that’s your opinion, but I feel the 20 million naira cash can produce 2 major source of income for me if I manage the money well, and I will also have some for my daily errands. I have always been a fan of working remotely from home. Having to depend on monthly salary doesn’t just sit well with me. I love to have my income come in weekly instead. The whole 6AM to 4PM job seem like a boring routine for me. It won’t let me have time to do other things. 20million is a good capital to start up anything of choice, with proper management of funds I can have more than one business set up with that 20million. I want to be my own boss own my business and not wait for monthly salary. Waiting for the end of the month to get your paycheck is just frustrating, what if for instance you have some issues that need urgent attention and unfortunately you have not been paid, would you want to keep the problem waiting just because you have not received your salary yet ?
I don’t even see the need of going to the office from Sunday to Sunday especially in office that don’t require your physical presence to work. Covid-19 period made us realize that we can work from home and yet our business or company will still run smoothly. Unless the company or employer is willing to let workers work from home then I can consider doing the office job.
