<div class="text-justify">We live in a world where almost everything is digital. The majority of us are more engaged in doing things online than offline.

We build our lives, our relationships, our careers, skill and so on online and it is not our fault, with the way things are going it seems to be the only available option.

There are a lot of advantages attached to working online, although there are risks involved the income is usually superior to that of those who work offline with the exception of entrepreneurs.

The comfort and liberty attached to the job is another thing that drives people to it. Working online gives you time and peace, you can schedule your work for any time and you can also do it anywhere.

However, as much as we know the opportunities online can never go extinct completely, it is possible for some of them to eventually come to an end and who knows what the future holds? Nothing is reliable and with the kind of government we have, anything can happen, we can wake up one day and the internet would no longer be there. 

This is why it has been advised that people should always have something else to do offline aside from their work online.

While I was in my second year in college, I started learning satellite dish installation. I spent a couple of time on the skill due to the fact that I was learning and still going to school at the same time.

It was a very nice skill and at the time I was learning, the skill was rare in my place. 

Around 2020, I had to leave it and travel out to look for a job and my primary aim was to gather money to buy a satellite finder. With the machine, it is very easy to catch signals.

At that time, I think it was around thirty thousand Naira. But when I traveled out, I couldn't stay long, due to the covid outbreak so I returned.

That was how I neglected the skill. Right now if the internet ceases and there is no opportunity online anymore, that is exactly where I am going back to. 

I  have had that skill for almost six years, but I have not been really serious with it. The truth is, I left it because I have other opportunities online. It was difficult to get customers back then, you have to be called first before you can render your service. 

Sometimes during the dry season, you have to stay without work, and having no satellite finder was another thing. It was a difficult situation for me. 

But seriously, seeing this prompt, I am moved to think again, what if online opportunities cease? What if the person or company you are working for decided to shut down, how would you cope?

It's such a sensitive question. Recently I have had it in mind to resume the skill part-time. But I have been procrastinating and delaying because I want to first go back to my boss and improve my skills, it's been quite some time since I worked. Well, I hope to do just that soon enough.
