Yes i would gladly recommend a BA for my kids by the way myself is a product of a BA . And guess what if given a second chance I will go for the same without regrets. Majority of degree courses in Kenya is either BA or BSC but both has different specialization.

Mistakes noted.

Dr. Leaky and the Millions he was making would beg to disagree with you..



From what I've seen with some of my friends from the more developed parts of the world, we're the ones getting the order wrong... You should start by finding yourself "going on your own" even before deciding on a course..

Eti would I encourage my kids to take up BA... Yes.. If they have passion for it I can assure you, they will not end up selling insurance.. and by the way I know of several classmates who took up the relevant courses (comp sci, bcom et al) who are also selling insurance and loans.. If they're passionate about those jobs, they should have taken up ... marketing...

I have this friend who took up BA communications then started a consultancy.. a one week's corporate training on how to enhance communication, he charges 3M!!!

One of the necessary conditions of entrepreneurship is a very hard head which not too many possess

Two questions:
1]Why do universities exist?
2]Why do people go to study at university?

If you want to study a course that will prepare you for a specific job, then do NOT go to university!!

University is for those who think beyond jobs.

Think about it: have you not seen people studying, say, chemistry, and later becoming accountants? Does that mean that they wasted time with chemistry? Should they have simply enrolled for an accounting course after secondary school?

Some may say yes; the time spent studying chemistry was wasted, but others might say no. I stand with the latter. The chemist who eventually became an accountant did not waste time studying chemistry.

You will be amazed at the amount of similarity between chemistry accountancy....when these two are mixed in the right kind of brain.
