Navigating the New Era of Multidisciplinary Skills | Creating More Source Of Income

avatar

Back in the days when I'm still in secondary school, never have I give it a thought that I will end of engaging in what they call "Jack of all trade" just to earn some income to sustain myself and my families. Any time our parent or an elderly person ask us what we will love to be in the future, we always stick to one profession, I want to be a doctor, lawyer, this and that without having the proper reality that the outside world isn't what we picture it to be, I have always vision myself to be a well to do guy with enough money to take care of myself and my family on a long run so all I did back then was to focus on my studies and have a good grade since they use to tell us if you have a good grade, you will be able to secure a good job and build from there but all seems like a joke, We were lied to.

I was really happy with myself at some point when I remembered I choose to learn and acquire computer skills when my parent ask me to choose a side skills to learn, I could say that really opened my eyes to lot of opportunities and also grant me access to grab and understand a lot of things, It took me a while before I could understand this statement

a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one

when applying this to work aspect, one of my uncle do say it isn't possible for a man to do the work of 4 people, I do laugh most times he utter the statement because they world have change a lot and people are now doing as many job as possible as long as they can lay their hands on it, I have seen many doing different things to earn income, if we want to put food on the table, having just one source of income isn't the way anymore, Multiple source of income is now the new oil. There are days I just sat down to think about some certain things especially applying for an office job even though many people do advice me to get one since I'm always at home but anytime I weigh it, either working for someone/company which will only limit me to that particular work or just continue freelancing which will give me the chance to more future opportunities, I always stick with freelancing based on my own particular reason.

Using my country job aspect for instance, the average minimum wage as of now is 33,000 naira which is equivalent to 45$ and an average monthly salary for a worker in lagos, working in an average company is around 100,000 (135$) without tax deduction and around 80k or 108$ monthly, that is one of my friend monthly salary and I had to take calculator one day just to calculate if it really worth it or not since he always come home late very tired and also leave very early the next day, after all the tfare and food money deduction, he was left with just 30k (41$) as his own benefit, I really shake my head then because it doesn't worth it because he will have other expenses at hand to take care of, no wonder most people are living on hand to mouth with nothing to show for it. Been a freelancer and having a skill will give you more and you can actually do lot of things at your own convenience.

I have really engage in a lot of things while freelancing and also create different source of income which at least can generate daily income for me at my own convenience time without any stress or taking order from anyone which literally mean I'm engaging in the jack of all trade scenerio, doing multiple things at a time which I really enjoy doing because it really put food on my table and also allow me to invest while researching for more possible ways along the line. Having more than one source of income is the new oil and that can really open more opportunities for instead of been limited to a certain work that drain all your power mentally.
