He told the audience that in Njombe there is a Person who completed first degree in Laws and walked in many offices to look for the Job, but he didn’t get any chance for employment.
When the time was passing without any Job, other people asked him to join with other degree in business administration because was very hot cake in the market. After completing the second degree he started again to look for the Job in different offices with two degrees but bad in luck he walked in many offices without any success. He changed many envelopes for putting certificates without any success and finally was somehow confused.
One day he got information that there’s a short Course of installing CCTV Camera offered by one vocational centre, immediately that person decided to join with that course, and he used a lot of time to learn about CCTV camera and now is expatriate in CCTV camera installation.
Good in luck he is self-employed in Njombe and also employed other people to support him.
The first two degrees are in the bag and certificate of short course is giving him daily bread . The Ass Bishop asked the school-leavers to be honest and more creative in order to compete with the need of markets.
