I must commend everyone who keeps this section going. I am frequent here and have learnt a lot.

I really need help on how to manage myself this year. I am a self taught Baker but haven't made a name for myself and still need to practice more to make my cake decoration better. I have been been teaching for the past 6 years(private school). I resigned from my last teaching job in December because I couldn't cope as I had to teach in a public school(npower) while doing the private school teaching and taking care of the home front. This affected me so much that I broke down mentally. Now that I have resigned, I am confused on the next line of action.

I am torn between learning baking(fully), shoe building and fashion designer. Your piece of advice is needed on which of these three is best for me.


Mods, kindly push this to the front page. I would really appreciate unique suggestions too. Thanks.

You broke down mentally? Yet you could not mentally cope with keeping your source of income despite other activities.

I think that's the first line of action. You need to expand your mental scope to endure more challenges. It's no abuse but what I psychologically observed about you. Cus if you venture into something else, when challenges come, you won't cope mentally at a level. BTW there's no career or job that's not very challenging at some point. In fact if you want to make a name for yourself, you should be a master of mental challenges.

If you know the number of things people are doing to make money in this lagos. Even abroad nigerians do 2-3 jobs daily to make ends meet.

What I think you need is not a change of job but motivation to move on no matter what you face in your lines of income. Re-read your post. When there was numerous money means, you couldn't cope mentally. When you became broke from not having much, you still broke down mentally. What exactly can you do without mental stress? That's the question that should lead you to your next line of action.

You have a personality that doesn't like challenges. Work on that first, then you won't be needing advice anymore

Fashion designing and cake making can go hand in hand. You can merge them together and rent a shop for both.
Buy first of all,brush you skill on cake making. Learn all the new designs,start working from home. Make your presence and skill known on social media. Then venture into fashion designing with the proceeds from cake making,make sure you become expert then you can open your own shop for both.
By God's grace,jobs will flow and people will come to learn under you which is a source of making money.
I wish you the best.

Well, I will not totally disagree with your view. Challenges are meant to make us stronger but I do not want to continue with the private school job because it isn't giving me time to learn a skill that would be mine even when my employers think I have done enough. I want something that is mine.

Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it. Your words have motivated. I am blessed.
