How do you feel when learn that someone had lied to you?
Angry, Disappointed, Frustrated, Shocked!!
That is How I feel right Now!
For Our Educational System. You may disagree with me on this but this is the truth.
Do you remember your first year in the higher institution? Hopes were high, in fact you would have been dreaming about your dream pay(working your ass off for someone or government)
Your lecturers painting the glamour of first class first job, as you strive sleeplessly to have a good grade so as to have a good pay (working your ass off for someone or government).
In fact your professors and Doctors tried to teach you entrepreneurship. I said they tried because they are only being theoretical rather than being practical.
Which is not possible. A salary earner teaching you how to earn a living as an entrepreneur. That is why you see MBA, CHARTERED MARKETERS, etc looking for jobs rather than creating one.
FAST FORWARD TO GRADUATION
There so much excitement in the air. So much expectation and at that point they will still tell you about how lovely the after school will be.
OH YOU HAVE BEEN POSTED!
Everyone is thanking God for your life to serve your father land. And on your own part you are also happy about the allowee.
Little did you know that the job you so much crave for is only available for just 20% or less.
AFTER FOUR YEARS
It became clear to you that you have been lied to.
When millions are there without a job.
Some got a job that pays the same as your allowee
Some gets jobs that is well paying but is chocking the life out of them.
The most shocking is that all these graduates now work for the dropouts or the illiterates.
Then after so much gruelling years of services, you are either sacked or retired.
Some who had not yet woken up will go back to school & get more certificates increasing the number of job seekers, singing: Retired but not Tired.
But for those who just tired of job search will jump into entrepreneurship with those old ideas they learnt in school but after a while they face the music of failure.
Can you relate with any of this?
Circle of lies indeed.
It is time parents start improving their financial education and start teaching their kids too.
THE TRUTH
The rich and smart ones teach their kids to go to school and start a job that employs people but the poor do the opposite.
Wake up my friend!
Hmmmm, good one.
