From campus to total poverty- fate of graduates

After graduating from school, there is so much to think about and probably so many changes. Adapting to these changes becomes the real deal. I had a friend who extended his stay at the university without signs of vacating. I approached him, concerned about why he did not want to go home. After asking him, he said, "what will I do after going home? What's my next move in life? I'm confused!"


Any average graduate would think of an attachment in one of the 'big' companies and hope to be retained. Such students would tirelessly work to prove to the bosses why they deserve a job. They would spend a lot of time in the offices glued on their office desktop computers looking serious when all they'll be doing is being on Facebook, WhatsApp, or even on Twitter checking out the disputes between kieleweke and tangatanga.
