How to read it
- Highest entry pay: Petroleum Engineering at ₦3,150 a shift — but it promotes on Coding, a slower skill to train.
- Highest ceiling: Music tops out at ₦46,200, with evenings at the Afrika Shrine and only a 6-hour shift.
- Weekday-only lives exist: Tech, Banking, Pilot and Air Traffic Control keep Sundays free.
- Entry reality check: a first-level job pays roughly ₦1,700–3,150 a shift — five to six shifts a week is ₦9,000–19,000, which is exactly why the ₦420 Mushin room exists.
