passing exams does not guarantee you riches and neither do riches guarantee you happiness...the biggest fallacy that society has, is that if you are educated then you will do well economically. That is why you will see university professors on TV acting all entitled to big money/salaries/perks coz they are educated.

The only way education can make you rich is by you selling what you know (what you are educated in) to people who don't know and need to know. Unfortunately the world is not designed like that. It designed to get educated people employed and work 8-5 five days a week.
Dumb money becomes dumb only when it listens to smart money

Educated people have a far greater chance of earning a decent living than uneducated ones.

For every single uneducated millionaire there are thousands of uneducated paupers!

Are insinuating that education is not important?

Go and interview street families and find out how many of them have KCPE and above

Am an old boy of Kapsabet Boys High School and every time the school performs well, i feel happy. I passed and the far that i have come is courtesy of KB. This year almost everyone scored an A or A-. This is a great school coz they dont admit only the best students from each county but admit average students and convert them to performers!!

That aside, my point is, the grade that one scores high school doesnt really determine how ones future life will be. know of some guyz from KB who scored in 2002 and enrolled for medicine at UoN and up to date he is still a 3rd year! another one scored an A in 2005 currently he is still in 3rd year, all of them because of alcoholism and indiscipline cases. My classmate, who was the last in our class scored a B and studied some clearance and forwarding course and currently imports and sells cars. He is rich as per our standards, while those of us who went to campus are still employed as employees earning less than 1000 dollars per month!!

Basic education is important but UJANJEZ is the most important thing in life!!


This obsession with money is going to ruin us! For "the love of money is the root of all evil".

@UpcomingPaperChaser; I enjoyed reading your post up to the point where you implied that success in life = being rich!

I don't know you or your classmate; but may be, you have a more cohesive family than him; or you are more at peace with God than he is; etc.

Assuming that success can only be measured by riches is the same as saying that intelligence can only be measured by KCPE/KCSE marks. It is a very narrow-minded view of life.


Boss, its the lack of money that's the root cause of evil!


How then do you explain wealthy people who continue to steal?

And how do you explain very poor people who refuse to steal despite their poverty?

Lack of money has nothing to do with it! Al that matters is how much one loves money and what he/she is willing to do to get it. What they already have does not feature in that equation!

Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you
If you come from a humble background,education is your only ticket to get out of poverty.It opens up your mind,enable you to network and provides knowledge on financial freedom.Education liberates a man.
Consistency is better than intensity
