Thanks @kichwakibovu for the link. Interesting read. You mean Collymore hana degree?

NOT true.

I talk from experience, I am a self made man. i hd to hustle hard to get where I am.. after college, three of my very good friends landed jobs.. that they already knew they were theirs for the taking even before the jobs got advertised in the dailys. and they had leakage on what the interview questions were, plus the practical exam part of the interview... U Believe what you want my Friend.. the Kenya we have is riddled with Nepotism and Tribalism.[/quote]

@ Puthy, I have a problem with your use of the word most. That is not necessarily true. There are lots of clean jobs out there.

Puthy,back up your statements with statistics or cite an authority.btw,if collymore does not have a degree that is shocking and an insult to education.

Having intellect and ability is the more important thing ...and that can be acquired in more ways than just formal education.However, some things you cannot accomplish without a certain level of education esp technical fields...like most engineering jobs or medicine.
Finally, many jobs are simple or manual enough not to require degrees, just formal job specific training, something manageable by diploma holders ...degree holders are jumpy people ...they have a high turnover rate. That is beginning to annoy recruiters.
