Jobs in Africa | Top 5 Jobs

Before we get into the top jobs in Africa this week, I want to get your opinion on what the most important thing to you when it comes to work in Africa, is. Believe it or not, salary is not important to everyone. Whilst some may actively be looking for a higher salary; others are grateful to accept a job that pays nothing, to gain experience in a new role or new industry. Also, some are happy with an average salary with many benefits for themselves and family whilst others find that the environment provided by a motivating company culture works for them.

We all have different expectations from our work and different ideas of where we want our career to take us. What is most important to you?
