Topic: Work from home or an office job? (Read 519 times)

Job narrative has changed depending on white collar job is like expecting the coming if Jesus Christ those who believe on the religious coming if hime it's either you have back bone if a strong politician it a reserve office by close relation or by virtue if you parents formal connection.

The truth is that the internet has made it easy for everyone mostly the common man who can stay home and find it way of survival, even if the income is small but better than idleness.

The teaching in past and center focus of many was on office work but today people make weath while at home even at any point, just like market today can occurred any where like before people have special place market must have taken place but no longer thesame only the ignorant that believe white collar is the only source of survival.

I stand to be corrected it's more convenient working at home than in any office under a boss, with unknown pressure and and unforseen circumstances most time that course you loss job.

I will prefer to work from home than from office.when you work from home it allow you to be free to express your own intellectual potential than an office base on there on interest and perspective.

Work home or office both have advantages and disadvantaged and since we've aware that both of them has this advantage and disadvantaged what will we stoping us from engage ourselves to our home work or onto another job where we can be earned another money apart from the office salary. And that's you can see some of the civil servants going to the office every day and you won't see them achieve anything good for them self it because they don't have any plan during their service period. We can see most of people's are introduce themselves into online business which is very good ideal because they won't be lack of money they still get defferences of experience apart from the working place experience.
I won't say that is not true because their so many people that are into online business for while and their earned big amount of money and they didn't not act has a illegality, But people's will be thinking that anyone that are into online business are involved of illegality and it's not, it just that one yam spoiled the rest that's some people's always take them the same, they don't know that everyone have where they are survive to put food their own table.

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.

You’re absolutely right life is a personal journey you can never know it’s routes until you’ve embarked on this journey called life that’s why oldies tell lots of stories and are usually asked for advices, that said I’d like to you if you could do us one better and tell us more about these legitimate sources of working and earning here of this forum.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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



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.

Omo, for me I go prefer home work o because I be the kind of person wey be say I no dey too like stress for life like, I dey like to dey dey on soft work o, and home work because e go give me time to dey do other things like to go out and get time with my family, even my loved ones, and I fit still do another side business if I want and I go also get time for myself like to rest and nobody go pressure me self, like time to start work and to also end work, Omo plenty advantages them dey to dey work from home o and enjoyment dey am as well too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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


 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.


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.

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.

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.


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

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.

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.

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.


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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Na big lie be this abeg.

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.

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

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.

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


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.


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.

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?

You know say one thing about we human beings, we can talk, more especially those set of people way like talk, anything way you do people must talk whether you do good oh or you do bad oh people must talk about you but as long as say you know way thing you dey do and way thing you they do no they bad to you and na way thing they put breakfast dinner and lunch for your table continue to they do am because if e bad tomorrow na that time way the talk go plenty pass.
Well, nowadays online jobs nai they pay pass and e they good way so many people they into am, now way be say work no even they the country, people they fine were them go put their hand to make money so that them go fit take care of them selfs and their families, but the thing be say as people they benefit from the internet na so people still they lose money for the internet too, as those people way they do frud know say people they find internet jobs and were them go invest the small money way them get, them too con get opportunities to take defraud people money nai make some times we they receive some kind of message was go talk say: invest small money and get ×5 within 8hrs and nai all lies.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
