frustrations on jobs.jpg
About a week ago @jordanlove one of my fellow Ugandan steemians quit his job to concentrate on steemit fulltime.
https://steemit.com/steemit/@jordanlove/steemit-vs-my-current-job this is his post check it out,
so inspiring.
what happened?
His manager was restricting the use of his phone and laptop the entire day, and everytime hecame from work very late in the evening he was already tired to do some steeming.
So he quit.

You see, I come from Uganda Africa, and most of my fellow steemians are doing steemit fulltime. I have seen them progress massively to where they are right now.
Most of these people are graduates and they have dedicated most of their time to steemit.
Others are still in pursuing their degrees and are pretty strong in steemit. The motivation they get everyday pushes them to work harder at steemit.

Some of my friends working on jobs are doing pretty well too. Most of these people earn about 700000 uganda shillings which is about 190 usd for a fresh graduate with impressive grades.
That can be some okay money, saving a small percentage too.
Luckily enough here in Uganda as much as the cost of living is still low, we find many people struggling to foot for their basic needs. It is likely that one would enjoy their job as it is.

But would you quit your Job?

As much as boring this may sound, i say it depends.
What is your purpose on being on steemit?
How much more money are willing to get compared to the recent job?
How big are you goals?
Do you treasure financial freedom?
Are you willing to put yourself in position of helping others?
Do you want to travel the world and witness the beauty of the universe?

Literally if yes was the answer to most of those questions, You would mostly.

What are Ugandan jobs like? more insight

Most bank tellers here in Uganda, fresh graduates work for about 162usd 600000 uganda shillings.
Accountants on average work for about the same amount.
telecom engineers, sales managers, and so on.

It's always hard to overlook the convenience of steemit in all circumstances

Most steemit newbies in Uganda make about 67usd about 250000uganda shillings weekly on average hardwork. This makes 1million uganda shillings in a in a month.
established newbies like some of the top ugandan steemians make about 162usd about 600000uganda shillings in a week which makes it 2.4m uganda shillings about 648usd.

literally all factors being the same a minnow on steemit makes as much money if not more by an edge more than an average person on a good paying job

I don't know about most of the countries, though i have seen it through the passion people show on steemit*
Steemit has been such a mother to most of us and we always show this by giving back***

Why you wouldn't want to quit your job

About 3 days ago, we had a serious cryptocurrency dip. this was the time all coins were almost sinking below sea level. A friend of mine i told you about at the beginning of this artice @jordanlove came to me, he needed to withdraw some money to pay for rent.
I know you guessed my answer, i told him to wait until the market recovers, he insisted he never had money for some upkeep through the tough time.
It's when i realized that with some people a job could be necessary.

Me too something happened to me where by needed cash to buy btc at one of it's lowest dips at 6k, but i had no enough money to do it.

What's my verdict?

Are you trying to make steemit a better place for everyone?, are you trying to promote it everyone, do you want ti to make a very big difference in your community. then you can do steemit with all your might.

Steemit has led to changes to even some of my friends who wouldn't resist smoking drugs, some school dropouts because of tuition fee have gotten new hope.

Personally, am doing steemit fully time , I have never lacked what to eat or to foot my house bills, My friends too are having a good life.
You can or maybe be different from us.
No jokes steemit has been the deal from it's start.

Thanks for reading
@tesaganewton
see you in the next one.
peace.

Sounds amazing. I think in countries where income is much lower Steemit is an amazing equalizer. In the UK it would take me a long time to consider it as a full time career. But good luck to anyone that can.

Thanks, most of our currencies are not doing so well like the euros, pounds and us dollars. Some people do it part time I have noticed those in Uganda doing it fulltime have succeeded alot so far.

Sometimes it sounds hard to quit the job especially if its high paying. But I believe personally I would:)

Due to ugandan standards steemit pays more than an average job. One can gave a side business though.

According to Uganda's economy,steemit is better than ordinary jobs.

Yes, this is very much possible in countries where the fiat money is very devalued, and even in developed countries is possible to "survive by steemit". :)
Look at all those steemers :D

Thanks for acknowledging, mostly in Africa our money is under valued, i was suprised what a difference a steem dollar brought.

@timothy256 you are right, most of you guys are rewarded with more money than an average earner.

Am a beginner here and your post encourages me to carry on posting and commenting ! Thank you 🌷🌷🌷

Yes keep it up mate
