When you possess a university degree and perhaps a professional certification, all you expect is to land a well-paying job and live like a King, but desperation sets in when you don’t even manage to secure employment. According to psychologists, the most desperate people in Kenya are educated but jobless individuals.
Whether in employment or job less, people in these careers have never known happiness.
Customer Care Staff
High blood pressure is uncommon for individuals like pilots and teachers, but if you randomly sample an individual who works as a customer care service staff, chances of her having high blood pressure are more than 50 %.Customer care job is not what many individuals are enthusiastic of doing but fate dictates anyway.
Besides being the worst paying career in Kenya, customer service job never excited the doers.
Unemployed MBA graduates
It has been established that more than 60 % of MBA students who graduate annually from local universities end up being jobless for at least 3 years. The level of expectation is high for these people, and the moment they set their foot in college their eyes are focusing on big jobs, unfortunately, companies are less interested in papers but talent.
Most Kenyans enroll for MBA after finding it hard to penetrate the job market with a degree certificate. It is during job search that they realize even MBA is as useless as a worthless degree.
Unemployed MBA graduates are miserable and desperate, they look more emaciated than a hungry church mouse.
Teachers employed by BOG/PTA
If there is anyone who studied education and is still working for BOD, sorry.
Every teacher wants either to get employed by the government or international schools, but opportunities are few. Such teachers end up being employed by BOG, which controls the affairs of schools. With a salary of Ksh 7, 000, you are told to make yourself happy-surely, how?!!!
Bank tellers
Leave alone being insecure, desperation and misery is real for bank tellers. These people, though they are instructed to dress decently, are bleeding inside. This job, for heaven sake is not for people who wish to be happy, it is among the worst job to do in Kenya.
A bank teller is expected to wake up at 4 am and leave for home at not earlier than 6 pm.With all this stress, you are paid Ksh 50,000 per month. To make it worse, you have little space to seek employment elsewhere, you can also be sacked anytime. So, no bank teller should tell you they are happy.
Waiters/Waitress
Talk about being shouted at by the boss and even being told to accept advances from even ugly customers. Waitresses go through hell and at the end of the month they are paid peanuts.
Working for an Indian boss
This one is normal. If you find yourself working under an Indian boss, my friend you will know why being your own boss is key.
Even with the shouting, you will still earn Ksh10,000 per month, even if you are a degree holder. The money also come with conditions.
