Work from home or an office job?

[Asiska02]

Do you think the office job is over hyped?

Several years ago, I would say the office work was not over hyped and they are the best anyone can get a good job from. Several years ago, technology was not as advanced as it is today. We can communicate and work online today without showing ourself physically in the office. You just have to find out the job that fits you more and look for opportunities in that field to get employed as a worker. Working from home can also be termed as side hustle which most times is more profitable than the physical job. One can be interlining between the two to get a double pay.

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

Dis one no be true at all and you too go don confirm am already becos many of d youths don explore different method of making money online such as crypto trading, forex trading, content creation, copy writing, blogging, digital marketing etc. All dis na legit way of making money and even d government or security agencies no go harass you from making money like dis.

Majority of the office jobs in Nigeria, I tag them modern day slavery. I was working in a finance firm sometime last year whereby I d wear suit and tie most of the days and my salary is not upto 100k. There are a lot of opportunities online, that pay even more than what office jobs can offer. And it doesn't even stress like the overhyped office jobs.

[Y3shot]

The office job is very stressful and most them are low income job but one thing I know about most of office jobs and why some people will choose it over online job is that office job have the tendencies of lasting long while the online job can't be predicted when it will end but most online jobs are with high . For me I will prefer to have them both because this time we are you can't predict life because anything can happen.

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.

I believe The way that working from home has changed people's perceptions of what it means to be employed is fascinating. Although working from home may be associated with laziness or suspicion, there are plenty of respectable and lucrative online employment available. When working from home, some people are even more productive and efficient because they are not surrounded by the distractions of an office setting myself for example, i wouldn't fit in at all in the office/white collar setting, I feel that I'm a lot more efficient when I'm actually working from the comfort of my home. . Regarding the question of whether one must partake in illegal activities in order to succeed in the internet world, it is unquestionably false. Online income generation through legal means is numerous.

That is the mentality of most people when they are in higher institutions but when they came back, they realise that life is not as they thought. Likewise me, when I was I higher institution I thought after graduation I will just get a new job to my greatest suprise after I finished school I discovered that self employed business is the most profitable business Because

1) it gives you time
2) all what you work out is your profit and not for somebody else
3) decision making is exhibited by you alone, no Third party.
4) you have the capability or capacity to creat employment for other
5) it gives you opportunity to explore other ideas by doing some critical thinking. But working for someone does not give you time to think and explore greater heights.

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.

You wouldn't blame such parents because every parent want their children or child to work like the way others do, like going out and come back in the evening , without knowing that what their children is more profitable than what people do outside. If Only they can understand the importance of online job which might be

1) indipendent nature just like the self-employed work I explained above.
2) online job makes you stay out of most dangers in the society like accident.
3) reduce transportation cost. Because working for someone will make you nearly spend your salary on transportation but working from home gives you the privileged to do so.
4) it reduces the level of heat or sun penetration on the skin because most people who do factory of construction job are always in the sun or a heat area which might damage som part of there body forever. Some people have lost their arms, legs, tooth, eye, and many vital part of their body system, but online work has kept us home with less risk. Though it might come with a little bit of laziness, but can be controlled by going to the gyms and doing regular Push up just like that of Ognasty thread. Lolz.

Do you think the office job is over hyped?

Definately office work is truely over hyped and that was the mentality inscribed to us by our parents that made us to further our education. And perhaps if they didn't use that mentality to guide us, we wouldn't have been serious in education system. But I think our parents are not doing well in that aspect. We need to re-educate them on that, by telling them that education is important but not by force. But a place of learning how to read and write or knowledge the basics things needed to help us in the future but not a place of shortcut to wealth, because education must not enrich everybody.

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

Iligality is not the best way. There are many left online business that we can do to make money but due to greed and impatient and lack of proper information, is making the youth  to go into illegal doings but that is not the right way. They forgot that " the antelope that grew horn overnight does not last long" meaning those that want to be faster than there shadow end without seeing the shadow

Working from home is the best. You choose your time you have to work, when to rest and when to ho back to work. The most interesting part for me is that i dint like sitting in am office for too long without playing a little. That is why most times when i work a little i play some video games, watch movie or i go to play football. You can only do all this things because you are working remotely if your working for someone else, let me say from 8 am to 6 pm. You will have limited time for yourself. And once your back from work you will get tired and decide to prepare yourself for work the next day then sleep.

The idea of white collar jobs where the old ways of earning a good living and that has lead our parents to think getting a white collar job makes you responsible than people who work from home. One thing that one most note is that an idol man is the devils workshop that statement is still very much applied in our localities and hence when you stay in doors day in day out you're presumed to be prone to crime, adding to the current rate of fraudulent activities going in our society, when your parents are the one who worked so hard to give you a live with this white collar jobs they expect you to keep up with their legacy and ones you deviate from that you are term incriminating.

The movement from white collar jobs to remote jobs is what we consider social change and perhaps it's has not come to the notice of alot of people that we are now in a social change era where things from our past does not longer apply to our current state of society. Alot of people are beginning to move from the white collar jobs to remote jobs, perhaps most does not enjoy being under someone, which means they prefer to be free without control in their work environment which whjlitw collar jobs doesn't provide.

I don't expect you to as the question that if one most make it in an online space he most be involved in illegal activity, because even a kid with rational thinking is supposed to know that it's very wrong. Because alot of people have been making it alot in the crypto space without getting involved with any illegal stuff, how about programmers who made codes and went from zero to hero. They're lot of people who made it online to mention but are few, currently with a well planned life one can even make it from this forklum compared to other high paying jobs online.

In conclusion, the movement from regular jobs (white collar jobs or blue collar jobs) are going into extension gradually, and that is a result of the paradigm shift in thought. The internet is a revolution.

Even till date people still develop such mentality and it's commonly seen as an oppression, I think people with this mentality have a long way to go cause the moment there's no office job opportunity you see them complaining about the economy when you have your phone or a meaningful skill to offer but still decide to wait for the office job.

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.

I don't get the term lazy, do you make money or not this should be the first question, If an individual makes money using their gadgets at home then what's the point being lazy here? I don't know for other mothers but this is definitely a modern world and people should develop their mentality, although people still use the internet to scam and this is totally different but regardless the internet is an open space for everyone.

Do you think the office job is over hyped?

Yes definitely, I believe the office job is over hyped like what I explained above, people intend to wait for an office employment and forgetting about the skill they have to offer aside from this, if you observe carefully people with an office job are given higher respect but I think this is not necessary cause everyone have their own opinion and you can do what you love doing best regardless peoples opinion

When I was in secondary school, all my aim was to graduate from university and get a office job, even when I got admission into university, my aim was still the same, but as I reach 400 level in my university year, and I went for Industrial training, my mentality changed completely, I started viewing things in different ways, na for one ministry I been do my IT that year, I see d way staffs wey dey d ministry dey suffer even degree holders, one don even beg me for 100 naira to enter transport go back house before, since then my mentality changed, and I left book for one side, and I started hustling, and today at least I dey okay even as I never get everything wey I want, and I no even fit get everything wey want.

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.

Anytime wey i visit my parents before, dem go dey complain say I too dey press phone and things like that, but as dem come see say I dey make money from d phone wey I dey press, and dem know say wetin I dey do dey legit, dey no even dey talk again, na dem dey ask me now if I don work or not.

Normally working from home is more conducive and and stress free, because most of these online jobs, you have the right to work when ever you choose to, some even pay based on hours you where active, so it's up to you to make your choice whether to receive full pay or just work based on what your strength can carry. From each types of jobs we learn lessons, but the one of office jobs teaches more discipline than working from home. Meaning, those who have experience working at an office are likely to do better when they work from home than those who started working from home and then migrated to working in an office.  In this life, exposure matters a lot, and those who get the best of it, are likely to have more experience and wisdom to make decisions.

But anyway I still pick working from home. There are lots of soft skills that pays well, I mean in hundreds of thousands, and some of this jobs are paid on contracts of per hour worked.

It is because of lack of exposure or poor exposure that people still think that anyone who says that they work online or work remotely are involved in something illegal.

Do you think the office job is over hyped?

Most office jobs are just overhyped because they actually just give you a status in the society but not actually some level of financial freedom and time. If you even carry out an exercise for evaluation, you will discover that most office workers are tired of their job because of the discomfort, and limited time they have to themselves, but they just have to keep going because refusal to do so will mean that they get sacked or fired by their boss.

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

This is not true, this is just a bad orientation that can spoil your mindset. You need to be careful of anyone who talks this way.

If you give office workers the opportunity to work remotely, I assume that more than half will be interested in working remotely because it eliminated transaportation cost, and gives the opportunity for you to plan your time well and give yourself some breaks in between.

Online jobs has become a new trend of our era since after the issue of covi-19 pandemic , However, we have to look at the benefits of working from home and to traditional office job.

It basically depends on productivity ,that is which one yields more results, so from the point of experience having done both office and online jobs, Online jobs gives you the opportunity to work from the comfort of your home, regardless if there is sun or rain ,night or day.
In fact, you can tag it a 24/7 stuff depending on the type of Job you do online legitimately. Online jobs saves you the money to pay rent ,frequent transportation fare ,possible office hazards, even sometimes saves you from getting robbed while coming back from work and just to mention a few, is just like you are the boss here no one orders you around. To me, I kind of prefer online job to office job, but the issue is that the society we find ourselves see it as being lazy though.

We are in this country together and it is obvious that the office jobs were formally overhyped but not this time.
The caused of hyping of the office job which every graduates has been chasing after and also those who are still schooling were admirable to hesitate in rounding up with their studies and then jump into the labor markets to secure an office job with their certificates.

This was also one of the famous encouragements that has attracted most of us to study in the university. It has really been working so well all the rumour speculates but the number of the office job hunters become enlarged more than the job vacancies meant to be occupied by the graduates as professional jobs.

Time just goes by where the system changed by everyone in the offices tends to secure vacant positions for their relatives and loved ones which others who are fitted in for the job are left stranded and idle.
Hence this has opted for entrepreneurship and production creativities where ambitious people who are talented in one way or the other happen to create other amenities for themselves to also survive because it was timely to say see that the government does not care about you if you are not related to them or having one highily influential personality by your side

This has inspired the aspirations of abolishing the insightments that office job was no more the best features to attain great height as ever been and yes, I can bet it that there are even illiterates at now who are doing productively and financially well than those occupying the office spaces.
It is also quite unfortunate that the office job holders are also alternating their sources of income with the non office jobs such as investment and trading.

Right at the moment the office jobs are no more being treasured and attracted as before because there had been several means one can attain survival in becoming industrious and also playing influential roles within the societies even more recognizable than some persons in the office positions.

Do you think the office job is over hyped?

Yes, the office job is over hype but at same time, it has some peace attached to it as with it without you, the company still runs and works, hence, there isn’t much pressure on you except in some cases

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

I guess that was the mentality back then but now, there have been a lot of evidence that have proven this wrong as there are a whole lot of opportunities online that can get one very comfortable without getting involved in any form of illegality and some list of these  jobs include forex trading, blogging, content creation, binary trading and even without looking far, the forum is also another place to generate  a passive income.

We don’t have to blame our parents that doesn’t  believe  in the internet space because a lot of them already believe in professional jobs and it will take a lot of effort and evidence to get them to believe.

We Africas are always very slow to embrace new and emerging technologies and way of doing things and most time we are used to doing things in one particular way so anytime we see people doing things differently that we don't understand, we find one name to tag the people doing it. Working at home is not a bad idea. I won't waste money just to go and get an office space so I will satisfy other people's opinions when I have a good office space in my house were I can work from. Moreover people are now adding office space in their houses now and once it's time for work you go inside there and work so you won't be distracted. You only come out from that office when you have close for the day or you want to go out and get something for yourself.

50% of Nigeria youth has been successful in working from home( online job) this is because of the lack of job in our country and so many people are looking for another options because our government is not ready to help matters. A lot of Nigeria  is earning in dollars because of the online jobs, Yes it not really easy to fined a particular online job, if you ask 70% of Nigeria youth about online job they will reply to you with a positive response that they would like to be engaged in one or two online job to support their family because the office job they already have is not helping matters and it has been a problem to them,I know every Nigerian here will prefer to accept online.

I think this is a generational factor, if you were born in the early 90s, you know the idea then was always office jobs, I want to be a doctor, an engineer, a lawyer was the order of the day, and then too growing up for these particular set of persons was not aided with technology,that's talking about phones and everything we have today, but someone born in the 2000s will tell you I want to be an influencer, I want to be an actor or actress because of the level of technology they witness while growing up, they have seen must online business like forex and the rest, so this will change their mentality of not wanting an office job, as you can work and earn in dollars from home.
The good thing is that technology has come and everyone whether old or young is meant to take advantage of it and benefit from it.

Online jobs are always better in all ways than offline job. Online jobs come with little stress and good pay. Just that in most cases, you need a very good skill to work online. If one can learn this skill, he is good to go and will definitely enjoy the fun and joy in online jobs.

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.

For many years passed, people has been praying struggling to be educated in other for them to be better in the  future, but hasn't gotten one, that's all about office job in Nigeria many graduated but still remained unemployed, in one way or the other I think some home job is quite different from office job in Nigeria, reason is because they're so many ways to make money at home without going outside looking for a job, let me take for example if you have a large farm you can decide to divide it into two section mainly for; poutry and fish farming,
 If you start up with this little idea you won't lack, if you determined, this can only take you some months, for them to get mature for sale.
Apart from this there are still many other ways including online business where you can stay indoors and  still earn at the end of the week.
