THE WORLD PAYS YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO WITH WHAT YOU KNOW i.e. The World will pay you not for having academic qualifications but for what you can do with those qualifications.

Graduates should rid themselves off that sense of entitlement and instead seek for ways to increase their practical knowledge to add to their academic papers, seek internships even unpaid ones and accumulate as much practical experience, then you can start flashing the certificate and practical skills at the same time..

Poly students seem not to have such superiority complex and therefore they seek to get as much practical knowledge as possible and its not surprise that they outperform the graduates in practical application of whatever knowledge they have...its all about the hands on skills, a degree certificate is just a good foundation, not the actual building....

Hey this is interesting. Graduates in Kenya aren't as appreciated as they should. Take a look at what I have to say about unpaid internships: http://thehapicompany.bl...tes-should-not-take.html

@misspretty.......when will you get the point,no one will pay you in today's world because of your graduate-hood, its what you can do with that degree that matters, not having the degree,those days are gone by,its all obvious so get out of your cocoon and stop mis-advising the poor fellows......

Actually I do agree with your point. Having papers is useless if you cant 'do'. There is nothing as irritating as a graduate without skills. I don't know if you have had the chance to read the article http://thehapicompany.bl...es-should-not-take.html what I am advocating for is people seeking development based internships which will help them gain skills and add on to their qualifications, be it degrees,dips. certs...

papers alone will take you no where but the right attitude will.i have two friends whom we graduated with in the early 90s.they both joined the kenya police as constables a few years laters.one of them had a very serious issue with superiority complex.he believed he was better that all the other cops ..a degree those days was very rare in the police force.12 years down the line though he was promoted to inspector,hehas a lot of discipline problems and actually adds no value to the police.my other friend just had the right attitude and loved his lowly job.12 years later he retired honourably from the police and is now a security consultant in an international NGO earning big bucks in south sudan. So all ye graduates,be advised that the attitude determines your future.afterall a degree is supposed to help you build your character and attitude.the right paycheck will then follow you automatically.

Clearly, most of Wazuans did not get my post. My issue is not with all these, rather, big privete companies especially banks who only employ graduates but the pay they offer is kidogo. Na hawataki non- graduates.
