Youths should embrace self-employment rather than to be employed
By: Jacky Barasa
Nowadays, jobs are limited in that youth should now focus on job creation rather than job seeking. One should not focus just to be employed by the government.
The graduates and those who dropped out of school due to lack of fees and various challenges, have to use their skills and start their own jobs.
Those who dropped from schools should join polytechnics which offers and prepares one for different fields of work .May it be in catering, tailoring, plumbing and masonry. These are jobs that many think it does not pay. But the reality is that, it pays a lot.
One may decide to start a small job and ends up gaining a lot due to rapid expansion and also employ others. This is rather better than to be employed by the government. There are many youths who start their own jobs and now they are millionaires leading luxurious life than those in the government.
Youths should not look down upon these small jobs they pay a lot.
In order not to be idle and holding degrees in different fields and become of no benefit, let us not wait for employment and yet we have skills and knowledge.
As one waits for that prominent time to be employed, employ yourselves to cater for yourselves and families
