There is very little in life more
discouraging than spending thousands and thousands of shillings (even if it’s
your parents’) on an education only to find no one willing to give you a job
and a chance. At a time in your life when the bills start pouring in, your home
is in limbo, your relationships and friendships are askew, and your excitement
to get your life “started” is at its peak, there really is nothing more
crushing. It takes patience, faith, and hard work to press on, maintain your
confidence, and relax.
To have to accept an unrelated job where
you are not treated well and you not so schooled co-workers are paid the same
as you. Or to work in an environment where everyone is miserable and work sucks
out your will to go on.
