It doesn't matter whether it is convenient or not, but if the system proves to be more profitable and meets our financial needs, we embrace it regardless.
In a country like Nigeria, where the average man has no option but to take the jobs available at his disposal, finding a remote job is like manna from heaven.
Most people think that the reason why many opt for remote jobs is for the comfort and its lucrativeness, which is quite true, but for some individuals, it's not so.
Remote jobs are good, but there are people who want to go out there and interact with the world. There are people who want to render physical services, but what happens when those jobs are not available?
I love remote jobs a lot. If I get the opportunity to land a reliable remote job that won't cut my appointment without a tangible reason, I would opt for it without any hesitation.
I have heard from people and reliable sources that remote jobs pay well, and the nature of the job gives one enough time to do other activities, if they desire to.
That's just what someone like me wants. With this kind of convenience, I will have enough time to get other jobs that won't interfere with my remote job, and it's going to be a plus for me.
I have a friend who teaches some students abroad from home. His lectures were properly planned, giving him enough time to do whatever he wants, so he uses that time to teach in another school close to his house.
In the end, he has two sources of income; it might not be plentiful, but I trust it is enough to survive in the harsh economy of Nigeria.
It is very easy to think that if everyone continues to go for remote jobs, those jobs that require physical attention would be affected; workers would be in demand, and for industries, production would drastically drop.
But I understand that our society always has a way to survive amidst any change that may arise. Apart from this unique societal trait, there can never be a time when everyone will go for remote jobs.
No matter how attractive remote jobs are compared to other jobs, people will always be available for other physical jobs.
In fact, there are jobs that compulsorily require one's presence. Considering all these, I don't think it's possible for everyone to eventually go for remote jobs.
In the end, everyone will go for the job that they desire; it doesn't matter whether it is remote or on-site.
If jobs suddenly become available, whether remote or on-site, people will still go for what they think they can cope with; not everyone will go for remote jobs and not everyone will go for jobs on-site, and this will automatically set the balance.
