tragic ironies of education-economic realities-living standards in places like Kenya .... kids dropping out of school in say class 6 or form 2 can easily transition to readily available jobs of herders, house helps, cleaners, waiters, green grocers, hawkers, conductors, matatu drivers... in a few years they are 'comfortable'... given they don't have class or standards they can easily save enhancing their upward mobility ...they worry less about things like Eurobond, NYS saga and are more into deals ..their proboxes, plots .... they have made it
despite immense investments in education... majority of those with form 4, diploma and degree certificates and an attitude to match after 90s structural adjustment have a not so good start in our still primitive economic set up... despite staring sleeping hungry or being kicked out due to rent arrears this group takes years before accepting to wait tables, chop sukumas, spin chapos, pima makaa, no matter the returns .... internet offers great opportunities for this group... quite a number are taking up the internet jobs... so much opportunity in this frontier
