35k per month is better than borrowing stealing scaming and pimping. After all a bird at hand is worth 2in the bush. Start with that one first while you keep job hunting till you find a job that befits you. No millionaire became a millionaire overnight. They too started with paltry sums excluding awon Omo baba olowo who their father has already given them a stepping stone to climb on and have paved the way for them

Shame on you too . Talk is cheap . What's your company capital base ? What's your revenue ? How long have you been in this your imaginary business ? Sense of entitlement is the bane of growth in many families , companies and the nation at large .

People are not paid for what they know , rather they are paid for what they do with that they know .

My guy, its not sense of entitlement, its common sense.... . Do you know 35k is less than 250 dollars
250 dollars a month after 4 years in school?
That kind of job is only acceptable if there is room for growth but like I said, there is no room for growth in any company that pays less than 80k to fresh graduate.

What is the point of going to school if not to land a great job and improve your general prospects??
I call jobs like that a "dream killer". Once you accept that kind of employment, you will reduce your expectation I life and begin chasing peanuts.

Take it, if that is what you are worth. But I don't think any sound graduate with adequate skills should earn less than 200k. As an undergrates few years back I earned 50k.

At all at all naim bad pass.....after my NYSC; my first take home pay was 20k though it wasn't easy but God has given me a government job.

No matter how pressed for cash you are, PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT THAT JOB.

Instead, use that time you would waste on such job to prepare yourself for masters. Go further.
You know you are better than that job. Its not like you would gain valuable experience from it.

sir kwa! GMB is coming fo u faa

If they are paying u 2 sleep all day, it ain't bad. But if u'r required 2 work ur ass off 4 just 35k, I dnt think it's worth it. Wouldn't u rather use ur time 2 invest in urself or better still find somthin better? I don't believe in working my ass off for an employer wit little or nothin 2 show 4 it. In summation, accept d job if it's stress free and affords u time 4 urself, otherwise ask the employer 2 shove d job up his/her a*s. Thank me later!

u said my mind

It depends on where you are in life and where you are going and what you need along the way. I just rejected a job of More than N350k per month but I started with N5k long time ago. If the small job add value take it if not find the one with value.

Common sense is not common to people like you . I still insist that people are not paid for what they know , rather they are paid for what they do with that they know . Acquiring formal education is one thing , while having applicative education is another thing . More so , if desirable is not available , available becomes desirable . In a nutshell I am not justifying companies who has better revenue to pay peanuts as salary to their productive employees , no , rather I am being logical in my contribution on this subject under discussion here . Before you castigate a company on the salary they offer to an employee , try to first know the size and revenue of such company . If the OP for instance in not comfortable with what the company has offered to him , then let him try idleness .

To earn big/fat salary , prepare yourself and focus your job hunting toward the big companies . Life is all about give and take .

Considering present state of our economy, I think it is reasonable. Donyou know that some graduates receive far less than N35k in this country.[color=#006600][/color]

Then the company should stick to their level. Must they hire a graduate
Cant they hire a semi literate as long as the person can do the job.
Unless graduate means ond, any hnd or bsc hold going for a 35k job is a junkie and a disgrace.
I don talk my own.....
35k is mediocre and I am not a mediocre..... u might be a mediocre and probably chopping 35-40k a month after all your big grammar, but thats not me.
Best of luck home boy.
Id rather use the time to get an msc and smoke weed than earn 35k... god forbid.

if it is inline with ur course of study or the career u want to build go for it
if not for nothing just for d experience, if not is just a waste of time.
after my NYSC i got a job like that because is what i want to do n i'm still der
gross pay 50k
net pay 46k
i'm using d money to do professional courses
for the next big job. stayin @ home won't help

icebeatz:


First: any company that offers 35k for starters is not worth it.
2nd: such company does not have room for growth.

I run a small company. The least earning person goes home with 40k per month and that is the driver.
Every year, he gets an allowance of 100k.

He does not even have a school cert.

Education is an investment. If after 4 years of school and the best you can do is a 35k job, then shame on you.

Coming from a guy who open a thread about LCC not giving him complete change at the toll gate says a lot. Strange.

The first to comment has said it all, but let me ask
How long have you been unemployed?
What job experience do you have aside serving our father land?
Do you have plans of settling down
Do you plan to further you studies
Are you tired of sleeping, eating and waking up?

The fundamental key to success is action.
Yes, 35k is reasonable for a graduate with no work experience.

Excuse me sir/ma I find ur statement cruel 35k reasonable for a graduate haba!!! a school cert holder should earn nothing @ all going by what you typed, Bearing in mind transportation,feeding not to talk of housing n other miscellaneous expenses.
Op like someone said if you got nothing doing for d next 2months y can give it a trial.

The word " graduate " is overrated . Result oriented companies does not confer any special privilege on people for mere holding a paper certificate in the name of been a graduate . Been a graduate is only an added advantage when the holder has something special to offer .

Before you crucify me or term me " anti graduate " , take note that I have seen and had it all . So , I am conversing based on my experience as an active employer of labor for more than a decade with chains of successful companies under my belt .

Bro if the job is in the field you wish to build a career then take the job but if not then there is no need.
I turned down a 55k job not because of the salary but because it had nothing to do with the career I wanted to build.
You can work for free if you stand to garner valuable experience.

What does that have to do with this?? I was only trying to say that my very small company is paying better...
What does loosing over 500 naira got to do with this

icebeatz:


That is the mentality of graduates that keeps us under.
Graduates should shun any job that pays less than 80k.
Its better to sell akara and be your own boss than suffer lagos wahala for less than 80k.
God forbid bad thing.

Exactly,m' undergraduate nd workn under my palle wen mai skul iz on break (authomatic job).Al least am earning 65k in 3wks nd I no tender any certificate ooo... (minus feedin,accomodatn nd transport) thou z nt an easy job.....so wen m'vnish nd bcum a graduate 1 stupid govmnt go pay me 70k even 80k per month.To hell wif dea money.....2b a gradute z nt easy at al.......

Ma broda, if its not the kind that ll take all ur time, consider it. U can always get smtin better. I started with N17,950 in 2007 but today l make N150,000 to N250,000 a month wrking for ma self. Ma broda started with N17,300 in 2003 and now he earns over N300,000 wrking for an NGO. So don't despice ur humble beginning.

If d place is not far from ur crib u can take d offer for d main time why looking for oda jobs DAT pays well..

Op it's nothing to write home abt but like someone said if you got nothing doing for d next few months you can give it a trial n hope for d best.

OK

I don't think its worth much stress, but just give it a try, while better options await.

If ur in imo state u will not ask dat question because graduates collect 20k after 5 or 6 mnths owing, in short, ive not been paid for 5mnths.

Please take it.it's not the ideal pay a graduate should earn but it's something.The experience you would get from there would help you apply for a better paying job in future.it's better to have sure 35k at the end of the month than to be dependent on your folks or borrowing money about.

All these half baked graduates wey dey spoil market.
Mtchew.

The figure is not reasonable but accept the offer and keep your eyes peeled for better offers. If you don't accept it, hundreds of people are waiting in line and you remain jobless

Hian! Chineke mu o! 4 where? But den again it depends...if diaz no plan b or u dnt see any beta offer ind near future u can start by managing it.
