Is This A Valid Comment Against College Degrees?

[ATTACH=full]386010[/ATTACH]

Of course it is. There’s a shortage of lorry drivers in the UK right now. At the same time there’s an oversupply of college degrees right now. You need to get a masters to earn a promotion in most of these offices. Most people are overqualified fir their positions. Underemployment is never good for society.

Fools think plumbers work 24/7. Izo kazi ni pesa mingi per hour but kwa siku ukibahatika utapata job ya only 45 minutes, mara tatu kwa week.

Very good insight.

shida ni some of those jobs need alot of of energy, ukifika a certain age huwezi fanya kapsa . tena huwezi fanya ukiwa na hangover utaangusha container kwa lorry ya mtu

Methinks there is the question of context. Then there is an oversimplification of the opportunities available to tradesmen. They are not unlimited. Whereas kunaweza kuwa na shida ya many graduates, I don’t see how an economy can take off for greatness bila watu kusoma.

Kwa hizo kazi zote hata hapa Kenya, ushawai ona mtu amepita 45 akizifanya?

The medical costs in your 50s and 60s will quickly eat up whatever little you had made in your 30s and 40s.

I think not necessarily. Out there kuna tradesmen who are in their 50s & 60s and still grinding some good money. This is one of the major part of self employment. Ukiwa mjanja utajenga pesa apa nje.

Most of the guys in their 50s huwa na maboyz wa mkono.

I will tell you for free that trades pay well. Especially if you’re a business owner.

Before oil prices dipped I got jobs in oil fields majuu(sio kwa Abdul) during school recess. I used to make a lot of money with only a few trades tickets. More than my first job after my undergraduate degree.

Shida is most trades guys huwa watu nusu hayawani so they are rarely money smart and only a few have something to show for it. Most have drug/alcohol/baby mama/hoes problems.

business owner ndio hukulia sana.

ukiwa na kampuni ya kudispatch cleaning ladies kutoka mexico, kampuni ya landscaping, kampuni ya electricians etc unakulanga poa banae.

shida ya hizi majobs tena unashindana na majamaa wamekula meth banae. majamaa wana sprint na 50kg kwa mgongo, foreman anakukashifu mbona uko slow

There’s also nothing wrong with going to college and not having to work until you’re dead or damn near. There’s nothing wrong with getting an education, making six+figures, having 30+ vacation days a year, and living the good life without beating your body every day. And with all trades come certifications. You don’t just become a journeyman plumber. You need to go to school and take classes and take continuing education to keep.

Trades huhitaji watu wengi sababu zina coordination mingi. Any extra work unafanya hukuzidisha uchovu kama kuongea na simu, kuchukua contracts, kununua supplies, na kufanya kazi yenyewe.

Kuwa na masomo sio mbaya. Bora ujue sio lazima ufanye kazi umesomea. Masomo ni ya kufungua akili.

So you think fixing pipes in a construction site of a multi-storied building takes only 45 minutes?

How many multi-storied buildings are we talking in a life-tyme?

project ikiisha unakaa jobless hadi project ya ukubwa similar itokee, izi job zengine hourly rate iko chini but uko guaranteed uko job for 10 hours daily, Monday to Saturday

Mi employment ata kama ni utumwa unijazz juu ata nikikamuana usiku,nikilewa weekend ama nililala, bado nalipwa. How about that:p

umewahi ona masons wakikaa bila kazi
