The best jobs are usually the ones that come with extra earning opportunities. Preferably on the regular. That way, you can take care of daily recurrent expenses with the extras & save up your salary into a tidy lump sum to use for capital projects over time.
So when you're faced with Job options. Don't get excited at the one offering a static high salary. Look out for the one with paid travel opportunities, performance bonuses & other regular extras. Their monthly pay may be low but the overall will outweigh the high salary job.
Also look out for cost of living & quality of life when you have the option of choosing the city to work in. I've lived in both Lagos & Abuja. Your average daily return cab fair in Abuja is N1,000. Lagos could hit N5,000. Traffic considerations too. Same rent cost. Choose wisely.
