If you read the title, it was a statement made by someone yesterday as he was trying to discourage someone else from getting a white collar job.(The kind of work he was referring to is a white collar job or any job that requires you to work as an employee in another man's company or business.).
In their conversation, as I paid close attention, he said that workers are slaves and that some workers are smiling in pain while working for peanuts. He went on to say that people are not supposed to work for anyone but should rather be their own boss.
Now, I wish to get your opinion, friends. What do you think of such a statement?
Personal for me, I do believe that getting a job is not just about the salary you get paid, but there are some jobs that can help to groom you into getting more experience that can also help you to explore when you want to start your own business or company to become your own boss.
Some people even get to learn about the boss role experience after working as an employee in some office for some number of months or years.
In conclusion, workers are not actually slaves, some people have reasons why they decided to work. For example, in my country, there is one man who is the CEO of a bank. According to him, he worked with the Central Bank of my country as a tech guy, but after eight years of working with them, he gathered lots of experience and also raised enough money that he was able to start his own company. He started an MMO (mobile money provider service), but today he is now a microfinance bank, and he has made excellent more than many commercial banks in my country.
Imagine working an 8 to 5 job and still end up getting peanuts at the end of the month. I used to work as a teacher in a school where I was paid 40 thousand naira a month but I felt like a slave because I was doing more than what I was getting paid for. I had a lot to do, I was even uploading results of students online and I wasn't getting any extra pay for that, I had to quite because I felt used, this is actually a relatable topic if you Ve never experienced this you won't understand
If you are someone who do have a degree and having that kind of sense on whats happening around then you would really be having those kind of realizations that the pay that you are getting isnt really that enough or would really be able to justify into the work that you've done or simply on the job that you are really that having, but since due to lack of opportunities or having that a tough competition in getting a job if we do speak about local jobs then you would definitely be making yourself that accept on the current condition that you are in, despite of being that a very hard situation for you but still it do leaves you no choice.
On the moment that you've seen some opportunity that you could really be able to jump into some better opportunity then you would definitely do it.
We are the ones who do make out such future that we do really have. If you wont be acting or doing something then you would really be just that sticking into the current condition that you are in then there would really be no changes but we know that not all would really be having that kind of mentality on which theer would really be those individuals who would be still keep on searching on something more better.
If you dont really like on having a boss then you would really be going into other path on which you will really be trying out to make some investment or business on which this could possibly be able to make someone
to be successful on which on the moment that it do hits then financial freedom could be obtained and this is something that what everyone wants.
