Work from home or an office job?

[Hewlet]

Growing up, we've always fancied the idea of a "white-collar job". it was more like everyone's dream to finish school and get an office job, it appeared as though those doing private businesses were the leftovers who weren't opportune to get employed.

Working from home came in and most persons are yet to come to terms with it with a misconceived idea that it always has an element of illegality in it. And for the younger once who stay with their parents but are into online business/jobs, some parents tend to term them lazy due to the amount of time spent on their gadgets.

Do you think the office job is over hyped?

 Is it true that for you to make it big in the online space, you must be involved in an act of illegality?

Do you think the office job is over hyped?

Since many years ago, Nigerians have known that to employment is not easy as it was before, many graduates are now not employed or remain underemployed. Office Job is not hyped as it was before and many graduates have been looking for other means to earn money. Online work has been very helpful for many Nigerians since some years ago and it is still helpful as of today.

Is it true that for you to make it big in the online space, you must be involved in an act of illegality?

There are many people that went through illegal means to earn money but they are still poor as of today. There are many of them that were later known and jailed. There are people that did not go through the illegal means and they are not rich. There are people that did not go through the illegal means and they become very rich. You can see a lot of Nigerians that are YouTubers, TikTokers that are earning money. Some are earning from ads on Twitter and other online sites. This forum alone is also helpful. If you seen the means some people are earning money, you will be surprised that it is legit.

I believe this is the common mentality in this part of the world when it comes to occupation. The older generation are always guilty of this as their reasons and mentality is just all around the time of their early beginnings back in the days. They forget that things changes likewise evolution in virtually every aspect of life and activities.

When it comes to job, there have been lots of evolution in job occupation now that one does not really need to move about to work or make an earns meet but just comfortable at your convenience working from your home and getting paid. For instance and to the best of my knowledge people work here and are paid weekly in Bitcoin which is still part of job done to earn a living.

Office job I think is over hyped mate because I see no difference between them. In some cases, people earn more from their comfort zone than those claiming to be going to the office on daily basis spending money more on transportation and lots more compared to what they earn in a month.

It is only here in Nigeria where it is assumed that anything online is illegal. So in that case anybody sitting too long in front of computer or laptop is termed and tagged a street boy which is not true and that is where the misconceptions began.

Exactly you have a point here because of the environment we live on now where people see you always with your mobile phone or laptop they give you bad name because of what society had thought them, the society saw people working online has bad people, they said one yam spoiled the rest, dey dey believe say scammers dey always use phone and laptop to scam people. Since I dey do online work I normally prefer to live my house and go to somewhere else to enjoy my work just to avoid them.

In Nigeria most people are use to there old ways of working, even with this digital era many people still believe that a physical job is better than online jobs, although there are many good physical jobs but getting it is the problem and even being employed you will hardly get time for yourself always tight schedule and being bossing around but with the digital era now internet were able to help people working from home with there laptop, with the help of technology people were able to learn different skills that could help them earn while working from there comfort zone without moving from one office to another, although in these country I wouldn't blame someone who doesn't believe that online job is more better because right from the beginning most people were resistant to embrace the digital era instead they believe on what they can physically see or touch, so since they cannot touch online job they view it as an illegal business, so it will be very hard to convince most people that online job which will allow you work from home is more better than the physical job.

Do you think the office job is over hyped?

 Is it true that for you to make it big in the online space, you must be involved in an act of illegality?

Of course, the office job has been overhyped somehow. Especially in third world countries and other countries with growing economy where many perceive it as working in the office or having an office job is the only way to success. That is a long time misconception that have glued to our thinking faculties.

But another thing I will mention is that, with the advent of the Corona virus and the adjustments we had to make across the world, that has at least soften the misconceptions that one must have a white-collar job to make money. I think the technocrats also did excellently well to enlighten the world about the emerging technologies and how we can use it in our career jobs and working environments.

This has at least tamed the largely spread misconception.

In a nutshell, working at home is more advantageous to working in an office where you will have to walk or drive some miles to get to every day of the week. It has both economical and physical benefits. You get to save more money to settle other bills when you work from home instead of spending some bucks to fuel your vehicle. Physically, because working at home doesn't require you to undergo any physical stress of commuting. Other advantages of working remotely includes, additional time for family, time saving, flexibility and increased productivity level.

And also for making money in the online space. I think that fallacy has really eaten our society up but if I may ask you, what do you think is your personal opinion on this?

Working from home came in and most persons are yet to come to terms with it with a misconceived idea that it always has an element of illegality in it. And for the younger ones who stay with their parents but are into online business/jobs, some parents tend to term them lazy due to the amount of time spent on their gadgets.

Working in an office has made so many people go through a lot of stress like waking up by 4 am mostly for those working in the banking sector and also paying for transport with a lower salary while working from home will make you overcome the stress of waking up early to go to work and coming back late. When you work from home you decide when to wake up from sleep, and when to start your work for the day, and the pay is also good. For instance, if you want to place a sports bet and you don't have an online gambling account you will be stressing yourself out going to a betting shop to place your bet and also waiting for your turn before you can place your bet while someone who has an online gambling account will just be in his house with ease and place a bet without he/her going anywhere

Do you think the office job is overhyped?

Yes, an office job is overhyped in our countryside because we were made to understand that if we don't go to school we will never make it in life. Yet there are so many graduates in our country who are not employed and are doing mini-work such as driving a taxi, or bus, and riding a motorcycle to earn a living. In our country today you will see that those who didn't go to school are the ones making the money.

Is it true that for you to make it big in the onlinonesace, you must be involved in an act of illegality?

It is just vice versa there are some people who have made enough money through illegal hustle and there are still many of them who can not afford one square meal a day while legally, there are people who have also made huge money by investing their time and money in Bitcoin and other legit online hustle like monetize of Twitter, and skit making, and we also have some too who are finding it difficult to feed themselves.

Online work is better, the problem with people in this part of the world is ignorance. When you tell them you are working online, they see you as one of those Yahoo people. There are a lot of opportunities online, all you need is good skills for example  graphic design, copywriting, Social Media management, lead generation, and so on

Working remotely is the new trend now, it is better than office work unless the office work pays way much better.
Since a friend introduced me to virtual assistant work( it's a freelancing skill) I know how much I've made so far. The pay is better than my office work wey I dey work 8 hours from Monday to Friday.
People are making money online legitimately, no be everything Illegal (scam) It's unfortunate some of our people want to spoil things for people like us who have good intentions to provide services to business owners online.

[Riginac111]

Growing up, we've always fancied the idea of a "white-collar job".

Their is no white collar jobs again, the time white collar was existing is the time government of Nigerian is was good, now corruption and greediness has taken over things and I know that before you can have a government job either your father or your uncle is the government and that is the reason why its very difficult before you can see employment in nigeria in a merit forum, currently the first is now the last in nigeria for employment and employment of youths from the government, you most know some body before they could allow you to secure any employment. We should have a zero mindset in anything concerning government employment because many Nigerians today is a tricycle rider and taxi drivers, but we going to school is discouraging but we still force ourselves to school because we needed education but it doesn't fetch employment.

it was more like everyone's dream to finish school and get an office job, it appeared as though those doing private businesses were the leftovers who weren't opportune to get employed.

Employment from the government is good but since in our nation we don't depend on government employment and it has made us to be stronger, the thing is that we are suppose to make sure that we have skill acquisition, being safe employed is good and in almost all the nations safe employed is what people depend on and they don't depend on government. Many people who skilled people have being taken care of their self for years and that is why people always make money through creativity than people who is waiting and looking for white collar jobs

[Stepstowealth]

Do you think the office job is over hyped?

Office jobs are not over hyped, it just depend on the office wey you dey work. Some kind offices dem and some kind oga too wicked. Dem know say the work nor dey pay well, no incentive, no benefit but dem go want make the person work e life out for them. Some offices dey good, dem dey give staff meals, better incentives and bonus, and the pay good. That kind office job go well.

To work for house nor dey easy because you go need to try maintain discipline, and avoid distractions dem. Also you nor go know when you suppose stop to work and when you suppose rest. But why many people dey like this online work dem these days na because say the pay dey good well well and you go fit dey comfortable dey work. If better work dey wey dey pay well dey and wey office dey comfortable plus dem nor dey over use person, many person dem go still prefer that one.

Office job nor be hype, some kind offices na confam!

Many of our folks, both old and young see working from home as doing something fraudulent. Na scam e dey do, is what many would assume.
The reality is this, with the current situation of the country many offices are willing to allow their older workforce work from home, if they are willing to do so. It is dependent on the job description however.

Automatically, all private jobs don become government jobs, hehehe... because na only government workers in days past, I don't know if it is so till date, but they can stay at home during work days or come to work when they like, many of the times.

That was how it seemed in the past, i always see people who are into business as people not serious in school or those who were not opportuned to finish school and i see those who work white collar jobs as the most successful people. But all this view has changed about white collar job because in the past once you finish school there is every possibility that you will definitely get a job with or without any form of connection but nowadays getting a white collar job is even more difficult than finishing from school and since there are lots of graduates without work now people don’t hype these jobs as they do before and they seek for employments online and some establish their own businesses. There used to be so much respect for white collar workers but not anymore, rather people have more respect for business owners nowadays.

Do you think the office job is over hyped?

Used to be over hyped but not anymore. Back in the days when you don’t have a white collar job it used to be as if you have not achieved anything in life but the case is different now.

Is it true that for you to make it big in the online space, you must be involved in an act of illegality?

Of course not, we have seen and heard of people who make it big in online space without getting involved in any illegal activitiy. The amount you earn online depends on the work you’re into just as it is in the working sector, some work can earn you millions e.g content creating and the likes and also some can earn you less just like the signature campaigns and bounties in the forum and there are so many other kind of online jobs that are clean and legal so you must not work illegally to make it big.

Not everyone relies on office employment in the world we currently live in now, base on his so  difficult, especially if you don't have long legs, and probably, you most certainly have something tied to it. Can you picture how some people would suffer to pay their school fees for them to finish their degree, HND, etc and at the end of the day, they won't see an office job? This is due to the way the government is currently running our country. Some instructors will even invite students to their homes to sit down with them and advise them to go earn some cash before they can get job.

Is it true that for you to make it big in the online space, you must be involved in an act of illegality?

And about the issue of on-line subs, that some individuals are referring everyone to a scammer, but Shal, I don't blame them because they didn't know that they meant methods of making money online because not all online purchases are prohibited.

[meser#]

The answer to this question will different from person to person. For example, in professions where personal relationships are at the forefront, working in the office will definitely dominate. However, in jobs that do not require face-to-face meetings, working from home will dominate. 5-6 years ago, I used to envy those who worked from home. However, when I look at what the relationships I have established now have contributed to me in business life, I can say best option working from the office for myself.

Every generation get their own trend, our parents own na white collar (office jobs) and dat's why dem dey emphasize you also following same path by going to school, get good grades and get a good paying (mostly government) job so we no go suffer as steady income go dey come our account. Dis na the OT wey our parents get that's why dem dey pass am to us. Na only this new generation of parents get online business OT and if you watch well dis new school parents dey teach their children, Forex, oda skills before dem mature so dem no go dey find job like their mates but dem go get better skills wey dem go use hustle if after dem finish school work no dey.

For the matter of office job been over hyped, it isn't cuz if you see wey to get am wey no go stress you I go say make you collect am and make use ur other hustle dem as ur side hustle. Office job na security job wey be say if you do wey you get better chance say you go dey the office for a long time and nothing sure pass say you get where wey steady income dey come, e no matter how small. You can be doing the office job and in the night trade, Forex, crypto or any other thing wey you wan do or also become a customer service assistant in the night hours, you fit juggle the jobs both online and offline surfer time dey and e no go worry you.

Is it true that for you to make it big in the online space, you must be involved in an act of illegality?

So all those coders dem wey dey develop apps and later sell them for billions of Naira dem be illegal guys abi dem never make am big in the online space na dey believe every story wey you dey see online, there's illegality in every business. Both the good and the bad they pay but e depends on were your conscience dey and wetin you really want to be known for. You want spoil your name abi you want make your name open way for your generation to come. You must not necessary make it in the online space but you fit just dey use am generate capital wey you go use dominate the physical space later. Everything depends on wetin you wan really do because both the legal and the illegal isn't easy.

For this our country now no body dey wait for government work again since the country done turn something else if you no get connection you no go get work because na corruption full am mamy people done graduate for university almost 8 to 10 years he no get work since him no get person were go help am for government work, Now many people are already used too online business to invest in platform to get profit, and he as help many people in the society and dey are using the money to feed there family, anywhere were person go get money him dey find now to help is family and others relative, some people don't get opportunity to get office jobs that is why before you finish school you should start planning what to do for a living.

[Ruttoshi]

White collar jobs were the only way to earn massive income back then, during the time of our parents. Currently, it is not the same anymore, as there is a high rate of unemployment in Nigeria, which has made most underemployed people to look for an alternative means to earn income.

Online job has taken over this our era as, it doesn't need you to go and see any politician before you will get a job because it is nore transparent than the white collar jobs. All you need is to have the right skill or knowledge for the job and you are good to go. Online jobs have made life easy for thode that are into it, because it amke you work at your convinent time and it saves the stress of being on the road every morning going to work and it also minimise the expenses that you will compound when working a white collar job.

[Gozie51]

Do you think the office job is over hyped?

My brother the office job no dey again, it is reserved for the exclusive of the rich and politicians. So it is now over hyped, guys dey find belle by dem self because if it didn't dey, then it didn't dey and you need to hussle another thing.

 Is it true that for you to make it big in the online space, you must be involved in an act of illegality?

Nope, not at all. Some many online business dey even apart from cryptocurrency investment/hodling or trading. Only say make you put eyes down but who want do Yahoo go still do, na the unfortunate thing be that

[Bebe22]

Do you think the office job is overhyped?

 Is it true that for you to make it big in the online space, you must be involved in an act of illegality?

Yes, the office job is overhyped. First of all, you're working for someone else pocket, not for yourself. Secondly, you're not earning enough to feed yourself and your family properly ( not all jobs though, but most ), so why all the stress? Thirdly, you probably don't even like your job, and cause of the want to make your parents proud, and earn, you're stuck in the matrix system draining yourself away. This isn't the industrial age, the world has moved on, and so should we.
And about illegal internet activities... NO
When it comes to the online space, it's all about growing your network and therefore enhancing your net worth. So, you don't need to participate in illegal activities first, just learn a skill, a good digital skill, and grow your network.
