Year in and out sees ample of matriculants enrolling for tertiary studies with hopes that someday they’ll be able to have decent jobs that will not only put food on their table but secure them a better future.
But unfortunately furthering your studies doesn’t guarantee one employment; and the fluctuating economy hasn’t helped either. One wonders if it’s worth spending exuberant fees going to school only to be unemployed post graduating. Wouldn’t it be wise to start a business instead but then this depends on your surrounding as majority of our people are not working.
With such high rate of unemployment for graduate who is to blame?
a) Government for making promises which they can’t fulfill because their system to empower entrepreneurs seems to benefit the few;
b) Tertiary institutions that mostly rely on theory forgetting that practical plays a major role for the corporate world or,
c) The very own students who happen to be incompetent, lazy and expect to be spoon-fed?
Over the years we have witnessed masses of our intellectuals immigrating in a sense of finding a better life elsewhere, it’s good for personal growth but what does that mean for our country?
South Africa though is a developing country worldwide but developed compared to its African compatriots still has a long way to go when it comes to balancing the working scale. With a little bit of determination one hopes that such dream will be achieved someday.
