Just having a long debate with myself how we have been conditioned to choose careers based on money. How we have been mislead as a black community to think that there are lots of opportunities that await us in the fields of science, technology and engineering. I am saying black because I had never seen a white engineer unemployed yet I have seen a lot of black engineers with no jobs.
I came to a. simple conclusion that kids should be encouraged to do what they love instead of boxing them. If we box our kidsto go into careers just to chase money we will continue as a black community to have graduates that are unemployed. We will be a country that lacks passion it the very same reason why we have incompetent public servants because they had been boxed where they are just for the sake of earning money. I wish young people can begin to realise that there is so much more to life. Money should be what we reap from what we enjoy.

Until we are healed from the "Pay Check Syndrome" We will easily find our purpose. Life's satisfaction comes with finding the true meaning of our being. Until our kids (blacks) are empowered and educated to make money work for them rather than them working for money, we will be in a community of independent and innovative entrepreneurs. It's about time we end the 'YES BAAS' cycle. It's the only way forward.I have a huge issue with people who study to get a job. We need to use education as a tool to acquire knowledge and not as a weapon that tires us to work for some1 else. I had never seen someone failing doing what they love. We need to start applying a more entrepreneurial mindsets when it comes to our careers
Steve Biko once said "the most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed". Our leaders and government are directly affected by this statement and it's up us to take control of our life as n of those that come after us.
