mtunecessary…..I came to terms with the fact that going to school doesn’t guarantee me employment but it definitely guarantees me a clear vision that enables me obtain multiple ways of making money. I am I the same boat with him and in 2025 I start my PhD program

bettyphilip01…..This one has refused to think outside the box. Consequences of too much education. He now feels that the world owes him according to his academic qualifications that he’s blinded to see that even without education you can still eke your way in life.
