Kenyatta University Student Found Dead After Disappearing for Days

A Kenyan man recently shared some tough love with jobless graduates, advising them to throw away their certificates if they have been unemployed for two years or more. 

His words have sparked a debate across social media, with many people sharing their thoughts on the realities of unemployment in Kenya.

Speaking openly about the challenges graduates face, the man explained that relying solely on academic certificates might not be enough to secure a job in today's tough job market. 

"If you've been jobless for two years with your certificate in hand, it's time to stop waiting for a job to come to you. 

You need to take matters into your own hands," he said. "Stop looking at your certificate as the only way forward. It's time to think differently."

He went on to suggest that graduates should consider alternative paths, like gaining practical skills or starting their own businesses. 

"There are so many opportunities out there that don’t require a degree," he pointed out. 

"Take a short course in something useful, learn a skill, or even start a small business. The world is changing, and the old way of thinking is no longer enough."

His words resonate with the struggles many Kenyan graduates face. 

In recent years, Kenya’s job market has become increasingly difficult to navigate, with limited opportunities for young people. 

Many graduates are finding themselves stuck, unable to land a job despite having qualifications. 

With the cost of living on the rise, they are feeling the pressure to find any way to make a living.

However, not everyone agrees with this advice. Some feel that certificates are still important, especially for higher-paying jobs or those that require professional qualifications. 

"A degree is still valuable," said one graduate. "It opens doors that you wouldn't get without it."

Despite the mixed reactions, the man’s advice highlights a larger issue Kenya’s changing economy and the need for young people to adapt. 

With the rise of digital platforms, new industries, and entrepreneurship opportunities, the job market is no longer the same. 

Graduates who can think creatively, develop new skills, and be adaptable are likely to find success in this evolving landscape.
