Parents Be Warned ! by sammirano(op): 2:37pm On Jun 01, 2023
I know this doesn't concern me but I will still say it.
The idea of focusing your children on the educational path alone is an impending disaster. You need to let these kids skill-up and what better time to learn than when one is young.
seeing SSCE school leavers looking for jobs is dysfunctional. What do they aim to offer rather than wasting time as a sales boy/girl over some paltry sum monthly.
Others are into fraud.
Even advanced countries still encourage their apprenticeship sector as it's a critical building block of the society.
Bottomline, encourage your kids to learn a skill before a degree.

My two cent
Mod, you will do well to fire this into the front page.

Having a university degree is awesome but one without a skill is like a Fulani cow.
