If you must it it, there is a wide gap between our school curriculum and the reality in the world and specifically in our Society. Again ask yourself, what is the expectation of a family who has sent his ward to the university? What is societal expectation? What do you expect from a graduate who was taught by teachers who relied on their lecture notes prepared in the 70s or 80s, years way before modern technology? Not all graduates can be enterpreneurs. To succeed in a venture, you must have above average ion for such a venture.
This lady has a resourceful mindset and a great sense of moral values. She has a ion, even if she were doing a sedentary job, her ion will still pull her towards a side business like this one. Not all graduates have such a mindset and so should not be blamed whatsoever. Today's graduates are caught between societal expectation and the moribund school curriculum which does not bring the actual reality in our societal to the classrooms. Today's youths are just victims. Which politician would be delighted to see his ward doing this? Which family will be so proud to see his ward pushing a modern wheel barrow on the streets selling whatever? It sounds a little bit out of place that is why it is news as it is now. If she were a secondary school graduate it won't be news. She is courageous. Some graduate still need the office job, everyone cannot be an entrepreneur - Truth must be told.
You have your point. My take is that the mindset of going to school because of jobs is obsolete as well as the mindset of what will be say. Agreed, the system failure has a major role to play, it's been that way for years. And truly, unless a business mindset is inculcated in every person the country has a long way to go as well as those looking for employment. Apart from those in oil and may be telecom companies, majority of other employees cannot make ends meet by their salaries.
