EMBRACING THE NIGHT SHIFT: 10 SURPRISINGLY HIGH-PAYING JOBS NEAR YOU THAT OFFER UNIQUE ADVANTAGES

What is a Night Job?

Night jobs are the opposite of regular 9–5-day jobs. Night owls sleep during the day and work all night. They are also called night shifts and third shifts, among many other names.

Surprisingly, a lot of people embrace these working conditions, and not for the reasons you might think.

Why Night Jobs

1. Fine, the most obvious reason is because of the money; a lot of companies add bonuses and other benefits for night jobs, and for good reasons, night workers stay awake when everyone else is asleep, except for other night owls, of course.

In Nigeria, night workers make up to N50,000 monthly depending on their job description, and shift managers make up to N700,000 in some companies.

Customer care representatives on night jobs can also make up to N50,000 plus other tips and bonuses, depending on the company. For example, bank call center agents can make up to N1.4 million a year.

2. More hours to yourself; night jobs give you breathing space. Night workers have time during the day to visit the gym, take classes, visit families, and do domestic chores while others are sweating it out at work. it gives them a sense of having time to achieve more than daytime workers who come home knocked out.

3. Job security: There is little competition for night shift positions, and night shift workers rarely quit their jobs because, once they settle into them, they find that they enjoy them. 

4. Fewer distractions and more autonomy: Working at night gives you a sense of "I am the boss," and since nobody is around to challenge you on it, it helps sharpen your leadership skills.

For obvious reasons, night jobs are frequently very peaceful, except those in nightclubs, bars, or casinos, where noise levels are quite high.
