It has always been there that people are lacking jobs no matter how hard they school all through upto the varsities. You will keep on wondering is it that the courses they take are never found in the market out here or where is the problem coming from. That should be the question however, we are all supposed to ask ourselves how we can give a hand in eradicating this catastrophe.

Just from my personal experience, I went to primary, did well joined the secondary also tried my best, missed up the then JAB by a single point and due to financial constraints then was forced by circumstances to hustle throughout. Now that people go to university and come back with their degrees, masters and PhD s, can I beat them getting a job somewhere? Definitely, not that easy but again it does not mean that I have to sit down and wait for others to bring me food. It does not even feel comfortable eating from someone's sweat yet you can do something for a living too.

We all have to think of a positive way of making our daily bread. I have had a lot of sharing in terms of ideas with my friends and I have realized that we usually cry because we lack enough knowledge on how we can survive.
If at all you wish to get yourself a job then it's healthier to start your own business. The most challenging part here is usually the business idea. Leave alone Capital.

Starting a business does not mean you have to think on your own idea, you can borrow from a friend or get ideas from the Internet. Capital should never be an issue when you want to be successful. People have made it starting with

as little as 100/-,this means, as you are planning to start your business avoid anything requiring a lot of money, it will kill your morale when you fail to raise the Capital. I do not want to mean that you should not think big, what I mean is you you can start with a little one. You should never despise any idea no matter how it looks like.

Some examples which can make one a living and you can start with as little money as possible. Suppose one takes one hundred and buys two pineapples @30/- this fellow decides to sell a piece at ten shillings. One pineapple can give out at least 120 so the two are giving at least two hundred and fourty shillings. That's a profit of 180/- per day. There are also a lot of agribusiness projects like poultry farming which can yield thousands of money within a short while. It's a challenge to all of us because businesses are not Necessarily for the unemployed but anyone can do. Suppose one is working and decides to start such a project there are some jobs which will be created hence we will be making our vision 2030 real. Remember it begins with me.
