What influence was there when you were deciding on the course to pursue in furthering your studies at college/campus level?
Passion is key to the many things we pursue in life but many have however always been pulled into compromising based on the current financial value of a course which makes market a big factor.
National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale has aired his thoughts over this tough decision.
Speaking during the official opening of the Pastoralist Education and Career Fair in his constituency on Saturday, Duale called on parents and universities to advise students on marketable courses.
“We need to be honest with our sons and daughters and tell them the truth, that some of the courses they are studying will never get them jobs,” he commented.
According to the Garissa Township MP, one such course that students needed to be wary of was Political Science.
I’ve always asked myself the relevance of one studying a course in Political Science when we all know that everyone can ask for votes and get elected,” he remarked.
At the same time, Duale told students not to wait for white collar jobs.
He urged them to study technical courses such as plumbing, which would make them self-sufficient.
