- Chris Bassey trades acting for plumbing in Canada, citing better pay
- He enjoys a more relaxed lifestyle and frequent travel with his new career
- Bassey believes plumbing in Canada surpasses tech job earnings in Nigeria
Nigerian actor Chris Bassey has recently discussed his transition from the entertainment industry to a plumbing career in Canada during a live media chat with the controversial blogger Daddy Freeze. This shift has taken many by surprise, as Bassey, known for his acting career, has moved into a new field that offers both financial stability and a more relaxed lifestyle.
In the discussion, Bassey highlighted that his new role as a plumber not only provides a substantial income but also affords him a comfortable lifestyle. He revealed that his earnings from plumbing have supported a lavish way of living and allowed him the freedom to travel frequently. “In the last seven months, I have visited several provinces in Canada on weekends—something even those in high-paying tech jobs might struggle to afford,” Bassey noted.
Bassey also emphasized that his work in plumbing in Canada is significantly more lucrative compared to a tech expert’s position in Nigeria. He expressed his belief that plumbing in Canada has proven to be a more financially rewarding career than many high-paying jobs back home.
Additionally, Bassey shared his perspective on the tech industry’s future. He suggested that as the new generation becomes increasingly skilled in programming and related technologies, the demand for tech jobs might eventually decline, potentially leading to a devaluation of the industry.
