I've never really had a main job, but at some point when I was younger I worked for a bookshop. After then i have been chasing a degree which is the only real shot one has to get adecent job here and it is nothing close to what you've earned so far. One will consider themselves lucky if they can get a job that pays up to $500 monthly.
After I graduated, which is this year, I hope to get a job that within that range if possible, so i can cater for my needs and that of my family. Agriculture is something i will also like to invest in which has a lot of potentials in Nigeria, as my country works towards food security. Real estate is another nice investment i will add to my portfolio. I am already in the crypto world, so i will like to build on that as well
It is important to work for others when first starting out, so glad to hear you are clear about first preparing yourself for a good job. You will both learn and earn on that job. Just make sure to live below your means so that you can save. Even before you're 100% clear on what you're saving for, save as much as you reasonably can anyway. Then when the right opportunity in real estate, agriculture, or whatever comes along, you'll be ready to take advantage of it immediately.
For 2 years after I started making quite a lot of money I still lived in a single room with no heat and no bathtub in someone's back yard. I could have afforded to live a very luxurious life, but I was saving for my future instead. It only took 2 years to set myself up on a path that 6 years later led to early retirement.
Thanks for the advise. I will keep that in mind when I get a job and start making money.
