Contest : "School na Scam" [going to school is. A waste of time and resources] How true?

The era of education was really embraced with great fate by young ones. They were the gift of the western world after arrival of our colonial masters. The school na scam saga is a new trend today seeing the sight of turn of events too.

What is your thoughts and perspective about the statement? Do you agree with the statement.

I firmly agree with the statement, this is a big fact if we must be frank with ourselves. Most graduates after going through school come out to find little or no paying jobs and it looks like they have wasted their time during the course of their years in school.

Moreso, other people who do not go to school, but dive into business and other sectors of development tend to thrive well, being more successful than the elite students! It's really a twist in a tale. I am saying these to affirm that school is a scam.

Do you think this statement is true or misleading

This is a valid statement as it remains a valid fact. Students come out without benefits of education after years of academic struggle. Most people end up in regrets too, while others that chose other paths asides education seem too successful, while academic scholars find it difficult to make ends meet. It is a very valid statement on account of these hypothesis.

"Do you have any personal experience or from someone you know to back up your take on the statement? Do share with us.

I have a friend who graduated recently and embraced the labor market for good paying jobs all to no avail. His younger brother who turned his backs on academics and ventured into trading in a big market after 2 years of service to his mentor, got a good settlement and runs a big supermarket as dividend of hardwork.

Furthermore, this friend of mine keeps gnashing his teeth in regrets saying he would have followed the footsteps of his younger brother, saying his years of study on school seems fruitless as he assumes the statement "school na scam" is a great ideal reality.

Moreover, the world is evolving and other sectors are taking upper hands the earlier we tell ourselves the truth the better for us all too.

If you are in support of the statement, what would be your alternative to schooling. If not what would be your advice.

I do believe in investing in various skills as a young adult too. Various fields of entrepreneurship is open to all, you can start a good one ranging from fashion designing, craft making such as shoes, bags, and other accessories all to reach the demand of a great population.

Furthermore, the world we are in demands lots of services, locate a problem as regards demands in the world, find solution to such problem. People want clothes, food, shoes and a host of other things. Can you make them available too? Yes these are approaches to making wealth asides education!

Thus, you can dive into catering services, making cakes and other snacks too. Some people love food, supply their needs and provide utility to them, agro-based products such as feed for fish, chicken can also boost your income, be creative and serve the people, you stand to get rewarded asides education.

Serving the demands of the people can be an alternative to education today, give people what the want. What to produce, how to produce and for whom to produce being priority, can be an alternative to making wealth asides education today.
