Facts of life: 

*Throw Away That Degree Otherwise You Will Die Poor* ???

✊Things have changed so we must change too, Universities in the 60s used to produce 1000 graduates each year and they would get jobs even before finishing, but now each year we graduate more than 80,000 from over 30 universities and 100 institutes. 

??‍♂Where are these people going? Even if We pray day and night, we can't have jobs for even a quarter of these graduates. 

_The education system only trains one to be a slave to another, work for someone for a pay cheque and make sure his dreams are achieved,  it doesn't prepare us for the current competitive world where almost everyone has gone to school._

?Most of the Educated people in Africa are poor not because they are dense but the way they see things just doesn't apply to the real world. ??The lucky ones who get a job earn less than 600k for a salary before tax and other deductions. When the deductions are put into consideration, the net salary comes to around 400k. The net salary then suffers from loan deductions, The landlord then demands for his 300k and monthly shopping takes away 100k leaving one with 0shs The taxi will demand for 6k going to and from work and other emergencies come in. The whole salary is gone and borrowed money starts working. 

? Most of the degree holders are poverty stricken, borrowing money to buy smart phones, nice clothes, shoes,  makeup ,chicken and chips, pizza, and a small car for shobies.

??The biggest excuse for getting paid such low amounts of money and having to sit and work for another person for 30 days is *THE DEGREE* that one possesses and that’s all. This has made most of the degree holders very poor and will die that way most likely. 

? _*A degree holder does not know how to generate money even from the simplest thing unless that money is generated for the employer. He is so dependent on the salary that he can do anything to get a job but will not think of starting a business of his own to employ others not even operate a chapati Business where he can make 30k a day.*_

He also sells chips at 2500shs making a profit of 800shs on each plate. Not less than 30 students buy chips and a drink every single day. This means he makes a profit of 18000 for a soda ,9000shs for juice and 24000 for chips and a total profit of 51000shs Every single day. In 10 days he makes a profit of 510000shs, in twenty days 1,020,000shs that's 1,530,000 a month*
