The training people get in college or university should be a basis for adapting easily to different markets and becoming innovative as opposed to sitting on it and waiting for employment. Indeed, fresh young graduates should take to heart the charge given during graduation – when they are conferred with “power to read” – and exploit their potential.

Beatrice Wababu, who has a master’s degree in communication from Daystar University, says her university education was enough to spur her to set up her own communications consulting firm. She did not wait to be employed.
