She couldn't even tell the diff btwn an original and a photocopied doc! Eventually I was forced to ask,do you know vera sidika and nishike? Kwani hizi interviews za non-technical courses ni funny aje. Yaani i can refuse to give a graduate a job because of not knowing where or what Jebel Ali is, yet he can analyse, size and detail a floor slab? Be realistic, kama hutaki kupatia mtu kazi, wacheni excuses! BS 8110 is a preserve of a few. That is what i can see from this thread. Its like most wazuans in this thread are BCom., B.A (Econ) and CPA holders. No wonder they even have the guts to proclaim " STRATHMORE IS THE BEST". Then i ask, in what? One of them even had the guts to declare that at "The" a lecturer can give you free marks in "Theory of Structures" because he is never seen in class. Tragedy! The name it was given at our place was even more intimidating. Was a real sieve and made many people to migrate to softer courses.

Why are accounting exams not in excel? @murchr, Accounting exams CANNOT be in excel because it's not all about computations. There is law, management, taxation theory etc. The problem is the EASY route to a degree. Para and private universities admit students with very low marks, as low as grade D. If in high school one could not get good grades, how on earth do they go to university and PASS with degrees? Whatever stopped them from passing in high school, will stop them from learning and "passing" at the work place. That's the general rule. Dimwits with degrees and a good deal of ATTITUDE to boot! Is the statement, 'the reasons for failure at a biographical instance persist through a life time', true? If it's true then there can be no competition. So, if fifty percent of graduates disappoint, and fifty percent of non-graduates 'deliver', why not readjust your understanding and make the politically correct decision? Negotiate and work; that's the real politik. Open up the economy for all. Embrace globalization and re-adjust your worldview to redistribute wealth, knowledge, freedom evenly. What's knowledge? Merit? Education? All these are social constructs with their political agendas.

In other countries i hear people who have left corporate world go back to teach in the universities and i believe they impact very useful skills Did i hear for example Sir Alex Ferguson teaches at Harvard? i wonder why for example someone like Martin Oduor cannot teach leadership at UON? or say someone like Dr James Mwangi of Equity Bank? are these not the right people to teach leadership/Management courses for example or strategy at the universities Recently i enrolled for a PhD in leadership and governance at JKUAT and i can tell you the lecturers teaching the course are people who have nothing much to offer They are teaching for the money and have never been in any leadership positions The only thing i may get is the paper but not really what i was looking for Can someone like former president Kibaki go and teach at UON? is it that these calibre of people are too busy to teach? Gordon Brown went back to class, to teach. Al Gore as well. Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. –Albert Einstein.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
