Should you consider taking an underpaying job.

[CALVINDOL]

The fast and obvious answer to that question would be no! But if we were to think deeper and wider the could be a reason why we can take an underpaying job or career. First and foremost the reason why persons may say not to an underpaying job or career is literally because it is insufficient and inadequate in accommodating their needs and wants, and also creating room for other financial related responsibilities and activities such as saving money and investing money. There are some situations where the only available jobs in a particular country are totally under paying, and considering this fact it can totally be insane for an individual to remain idle. Anyways the choosing or not choosing to take an underpaying job or career totally depends on an individual's choice, and just like it is always said that have bread is better than none and it is better for an individual make ends meet from an underpaying job than to stay idle for the rest of his or her life.

A good example of a country with so many underpaying jobs is Nigeria, Nigeria as they always say is considered to be the Giants of Africa but to some extent we do not see the Giantness in it, as a result of its citizens running helter-skelter seeking for jobs and careers which can accommodate their financial responsibilities and priorities. Presently what is left in Nigeria are minimal and underpaying jobs and careers. Citizens of Nigeria have no other choice then to take the job available for them despite it's underpaying feature.

The only reason I would advise anyone to take an underpaying job is for the person to gather experience or some kind of knowledge. Apart from that, no person should settle for less. The challenge in Nigeria as it were is a mentality problem. Everyone believes that the very essence of going to school was to come out and get some kind of job. So all the graduates are waiting for some miraculous job. And when the supply is more than the demand, the price would be forced to come down. It is simple economics in practice.

Instead of settling for a low-paying job, please just get something to do for yourself. Set up something. I repeat, no one should take up any employment that doesn't pay something commensurate with the qualification and effort. By doing this, the private sector would be forced to review its payment structure because the supply of labor would contract.

If you know your worth and what you are capable of doing, you will not settle for less. Many people are out there doing jobs that are too low for them and way below them, despite the fact that they put in a lot of work. When you have built yourself up to a desirable degree, you will realize many companies and firms approaching you for your services. But this is what many don't understand, if you are not special as a worker you will be terribly underpaid.

Build up yourself and become someone that is sort after. Take up necessary classes and add to your skills. This way you will make yourself highly employable, which is tantamount to good pay. The companies don't want their workers to know this, they are basically cheating them by rewarding them little for their hard work. Evolve and do better for your own benefit.
