Does your degree determine your career? Not according to Adesegun.
He studied Microbiology, started his career in IT project management, and never planned to work in tax. Today, he leads Tax for Sub-Saharan Africa at BAT and is also the co-founder of a film production company.

People will always have a “perfect” roadmap for how your career should unfold. It’s important to tune out the noise, and give yourself the freedom to figure out your own path as you go
It’s your career, paint it how you like
After all is said and done, the lads need jobs. They need opportunities and that is exactly why everyone is everywhere.
I endorse this message. Network with your peers. They are c-level execs of tomorrow. It’s amazing what my classmates and work peers have gotten up to in just 18years.
I hear you completely and I know it is easy to be dismissive but I sincerely believe we need to create more opportunities. I get the talk of luck etc but I am always surprised at the profiles of some of the people I met here… just Bsc yet their careers are flying!

Another thing you people aren’t highlighting in this only child conversation is the importance of building a community. Forge healthy relationships and let your children witness what meaningful connection looks like so they can learn to cultivate it themselves. Not everyone has the financial or emotional capacity to raise more than one child, especially in this economy. Children are not toys o. Having siblings is not a substitute for a healthy, supportive community and having more children than you can adequately care for benefits nobody.
As an “only” female child, I wish I had a sister… basically whether only child or multiple siblings we all have one wish or the other. The beauty of life is that it is not perfect.
A courtesy I don't take for granted is having my extended team members reach out to me when they resign. I can be quite thorough as expected and a little annoying to work with but it always warms my heart when they say they learnt from me and would love to keep in touch.
As a finance professional, you just have to be flexible during your vacation (maybe except maternity) especially at really senior levels. I had to contact someone who away for a personal issue to approve a tight deadline payment because it is over my limit and I just felt so bad
Is there really a good drug rehabilitation center in Nigeria? One that truly rehabilitates where the people do not come out worse than when they got there?
Ever since my friend taught me how to prevent my food from drying out in the microwave, any small thing now, I place a wet paper towel on my food before microwaving it. And it really works…

Normal people feel guilty when they hurt someone. Narcissists just get mad you’re not clapping for them anymore.

I don’t trust people who have this incessant need to be seen as good. It becomes more important than their willingness to examine what they’ve done. So they’ll always try to defend it. Sometimes tolerate being the person who was wrong.
