6 Convincing Reasons Why You Should Choose Entrepreneurship Over A Salaried Job In Nigeria

A school graduate in Nigeria is faced with an option between paid employment and entrepreneurship. 

In such a situation, he will need to determine the merits of entrepreneurship over a salaried job.


With the current situation of the Nigerian economy, a graduate has to determine whether to engage in a salaried job where he will be controlled by his employer, rather than being his own boss.


Do you know there are some benefits which an entrepreneur enjoys over a salary earner?


This article outlines and explains 6 convincing reasons why you should choose entrepreneurship over a salaried job in Nigeria.


1.You are your own boss;

You make decisions on your own, you determine your own course of action, you supervise your employees, you set your mission and determine when it needs to be accomplished, you don't report to anyone.

A salary earner, on the other hand cannot enjoy such benefits because he acts by the company's protocols.

2. Job opportunity;

You stabilize the economy of your country immediately you start your own business, but you cannot perform the tasks yourself to avoid workloads.

You will need the services of some workers, so by enjoying the services of others, you create job for yourself and for others, thereby contributing to the growth and development of your country.
But a paid worker cannot employ anybody on his own even if he's loaded with different tasks because he has to follow orders, he will be acting by the company protocols, but who will control you as an entrepreneur? 
You yourself I believe.


3. Self-esteem

You have the ability to know your own worth and have confidence in yourself and this is known as self-esteem. 

By becoming an entrepreneur, you enjoy this benefit. 
Who else can enjoy this benefit if not you? 


4. Self actualization; 

As an entrepreneur, you can make your own dreams come true in life due to the fact that you are faced with the opportunity to put your ability to test to achieve your goals, meanwhile a paid worker’s dreams depend upon his monthly salary.


5. Societal influence; 

Plenty services and societal services give recognition and respect to you where you operate your business.

Imagine the life some business tycoons like Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola,  Aliko Dangote, and so on, are living, they get influence and respect wherever they go. 

So let’s say you are now an entrepreneur, I bet this recognition and the respects are open to you.


6. Financial freedom; 

One of the great benefits which an entrepreneur enjoys is being financially free which is the major motive for doing business.

You free yourself from being broke every time, and you pay your children’s school fees as at when due, you provide for your family needs, you enjoy every moment of your life with enthusiasm, whereas a salary earner bases every financial activity upon his monthly salary.

I believe you have known the reasons why you should choose entrepreneurship over a salaried job in Nigeria. 

In conclusion, I will advise you to choose entrepreneurship over a salaried job as you have seen the differences between both.

What other benefits do you think an entrepreneur enjoys over a salary earner?
