I recently saw a news post on Facebook that had a photo of youth from an East African Country in a public demonstration. The young people were on the street in a protest to highlight Growing Unemployment among university graduates. One placard read: ‘For every ten applicants only one gets a job. Where should we go?’
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
Young people find themselves in difficult times with Growing unemployment in all continents. And instead of joining everyone around you moaning, what else can you do?
Think for yourself. All along you have had a teacher or parent come to your rescue when there seemed to be darkness all around. It is your turn to establish why you are here, what you are living for and what you will do with your time and gifts (yes, you have some). You are likely to end up on a path to slavery if you let other people do that for you.The days of secure, paid employment in government offices or the private sector are over for the majority of the population. There will be more workers offering their services for pay in short or long-term contracts. Prospective customers are no longer those within country boundaries. New opportunities can be accessed in new ways with technological advancement.
Stop moaning about jobs and go after the markets.
