THE NATION
In Nigeria, some jobs are often underrated or overlooked by many people despite offering high pay and growth opportunities. These jobs may not receive as much attention as more traditional high-paying careers, but they can be both rewarding and lucrative.
Here are six underrated jobs in Nigeria that pay well you should know:
- UX/UI Designers
Many people often mix up UX/UI design with graphic design, not realising how much expertise and planning go into creating a great user experience and interface. UX/UI designers focus on how users interact with websites and apps, making sure the design is both easy to use and visually appealing. This skill is in high demand, especially in tech startups and companies that are updating their digital systems.
- Freelance Graphic Designers
Graphic design is often seen as just an “artistic” skill, and some people don’t realize how serious of a career it can be. However, as digital marketing, advertising, and branding become more important, skilled graphic designers are in high demand. Designers who specialize in web design, branding, or product design can charge high rates, especially as businesses try to stand out in a competitive market.
- Fitness Trainers & Personal Coaches
Fitness trainers are often viewed as a luxury service, with some people thinking they only work part-time or for celebrities. However, as more Nigerians focus on health and wellness, personal trainers and fitness coaches are in high demand. They can charge good fees for one-on-one sessions, group classes, or even virtual training. Many trainers also have the chance to team up with fitness brands or open their own gyms.
- Electricians
Electricians are often seen as doing “blue-collar” work, and many people don’t realize how much they can earn. However, skilled electricians, especially those working in commercial or industrial areas like power plants, construction projects, or large factories, can make high wages. There is also a growing demand for electricians as Nigeria continues to develop its infrastructure.
