Hello, my lovely Hive Naija people. It’s another beautiful weekend, and we’re excited to have you here once again. A new weekend simply means another chance to buzz the Hive blockchain, connect with one another, and simply have fun. You'll also agree with me that there’s something special about bringing everyone together to gist, share opinions, and enjoy good vibes. That is exactly the reason we will continue to meet every weekend.

Sam's Hangout is focused on promoting the togetherness of the Nigerian brethren through active engagement on the blockchain. Beyond that, it is also centered towards the wellbeing of everyone who takes part in our weekend discussions and helps keep our discord running with their presence.
Note that this account was created to make the engagement more personal and official. You can check out the INTRODUCTION POST to learn more about our purpose and vision.
Please, do not forget to follow this account so you don’t miss out on future hangout posts and updates.
Our previous topic was ”TOXIC WORK OR UNEMPLOYMENT"

The responses were super amazing and we had over 20+ comments filled with honest opinions, jokes, harmless banter, and fresh perspectives to learn from. The energy was truly contagious. Now, let’s see if we can beat our all-time high again this weekend, shall we? Please try to encourage responses by replying to one another. Remember, engagement is what makes this hangout special.


A topic will be dropped every Friday on this account. Do well to share your thoughts, respond to someone else’s opinion, and feel free to interrogate or add more context on it respectfully. If you don’t have anything new to add, simply reply to another comment in agreement. We encourage you to tag your friends to join the discussion so we can have a fuller house.
All interactions should happen in the comment section, because that’s where the real gist goes down.

This week's hangout starts immediately this post goes live and ends on Sunday by 11:59 pm.

Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing "CAREER CHOICE: PASSION OR JOB SECURITY?”.
Choosing a course of study is one of the first major decisions many young people make regarding their future. While some are encouraged to follow and build on their true interests and natural strengths, others are advised to choose professional courses with straightforward career paths and better job prospects. However, the realities of working an unfulfilling job and the risk unemployment has led to many asking what really should be prioritized.
Here's the question!
If you have a topic you would like us to discuss in our future hangouts, please feel free to suggest it to us in the comment section and tag @sam.hangout to it.
Okay Let's Gist!!!

Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...

To make our hangout more interactive, we have decided to add two events to spice it up.
On Saturdays, we share our owanbe stories, party gists, and even pictures.
On Sundays, we reflect on the weekend and things we learnt so far, as well as share plans for the new week.
Don't forget to join us!!

There are no strict rules as regards this weekend hangout. Feel free to speak any Nigerian language you like, whether Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik, or others, as long as it can be understood.
With all that said, let the discussion begin...

.. it's fun there 💯
I.
To not beat around the bush, first off, I think people should consider job security, not as if it should be at the expense of what they actually love. Nah, because spending years doing something you don't love or have passion for can be draining too. I think I can call my myself an ex Corper member already, just few weeks to go and I'm done. One of the things I've learned via some of the professional courses I took was that, you can find a balance. In the sense that, if you find a secure job that you dislike, take it up, find some part of it that you enjoy, and build a skill or something around it. Also, since the job is secure, you can still keep your passion alive outside of it. And about fulfillment, I can't guarantee that, but it may come depending on how you handle it. Since you can pursue your passion outside work or can find something or a particular field you enjoy and build something around it.
II.
For parents, I would say they should allow and support their children pursue what they really love. Even if it does not look secure, they should understand that so far it is what the child has interest in, then he/she would definitely come out different. I mean, not every successful person we see today tread a safe path, some followed the path others criticized and are doing very well today. Also, not as if parents should just support them blindly, nah, they should support, advice and encourage while also making sure to make the child understand the risks involved. The child on his/her part too should know the possible risks, how to navigate through and as well learn skills that would make him/her standout in that career path he/she has chosen.
Thank you for your attention to this matter 🫡
