I can relate with what your actually saying here but even still, I can tell you that the idea your presenting like, these are poor career choices or a poor man’s job isn’t what it is.
It’s all about the packaging. The packaging and how it’s presented to the public makes all the difference. Talking about carpentry, i think it’s become one of the most lucrative business in the country at the moment. Most person have gone into interior decorations, companies are been built about it and ideas continues to be projected in that angle and people in the business are doing okay.
Architecture and the so called oguanja people na just how we don see the name. There are registered companies about this line of works. They have on field and off field staff to deliver on a job.
While the farmers you talk about, farming for a poor man’s career choice or job, even our one time president Obasanjo was/is a farmer. He owns one of the biggest farms in Nigeria and his no poor man. Farming is either subsistence (small scale) or commercial (large scale). Even in these packs you’re either a livestock farmer or you grow crops. It’s just so vast and with so much opportunities to be a poor man’s job.
There is no poor man’s job, it’s just the capital it’s run on and the way it’s packaged and presented that makes all the difference.
