ent u have ah MBA and boast about it on tuner?

u izza expert at plenty thing, why u still wukkin for govt?

STD,


First of all,learn to read I didn't get an MBA to work for someone ...I did it when I was younger shortly after my BSc, all while working. Anyway I learnt how to have a stable job and have a side business, government wuk pays the bills. Stop focusing on other ppl lives young man and try to make something of yours.

Steups. What a useless thread.

I've noticed that the underlying assumption for 3rd world people is often "I need a degree to get a job". I hardly ever hear Caribbean students saying "I need a degree to open my own business, or my own practice", or "... to make my business more innovative", unless they're aboard. Not saying 1st world students don't have this narrow-minded perspective also, but I hear it resoundingly from locals. This thread for example.

IMO, regardless of what field you study, if you can't profit from your education without always relying on someone (or the Gov't) to hire you (read as "give you your entitlement because you voted for them"), then... well, let's just say that's why TT is so disgustingly backward after 60+ years of oil revenues.

Finally someone said it, imagine men acquiring PHD and MBA to work for someone . All that knowledge simply wasted.

PhD worthless? Not if you are working at a university or doing research or consulting.

I would wager that a hoe with all her teeth makes more than nearly any government worker in Trinidad.

It is common knowledge that you can't be an executive at nearly any German company without a PhD. Many German students go straight to a doctorate before becoming employed.

Get whatever degree you want in whatever field you want. Because If you're going to school to get a job, you're already screwed.

You may as well get a factory job and save your time and money instead of posting how people that get a degree and graduate to chase their passions are stupid.

The solution to mass unemployment after acquiring a University degree is not for everyone to open a business.
Who would buy from who?

Yea but at the same time, thousands graduate per year to become unemployed. Why are the majority simply looking for wuk. All that education to become what? A good worker? Really. That's where we reach in Trinidad

Where does a degree in linguistics get me in Trinidad?

If you're studying linguistics, you know where you need to go next.

What are the local high demand degrees? Law, medicine, accounting, petroleum engineering, maybe. There is a glut of those graduates already.

If you want to be a police officer, WASA clerk or an office manager for Ministry of Whatever, a degree isn't necessary.

There's record low unemployment in the US, Canada and Europe. Get you shitt together and interview there. If some people are as good as they say they are, they will be given a sponsored visa.

If you want to believe that you don't need to leave the Caribbean to find work that involves many of the degrees being offered locally, then get your work gloves and your garden boots - you'll need them.

There are diploma mills but not every university is a diploma mill.

They are called a University Career Center. Ranked universities in NA and Europe have required participation coursework and counseling. Many programs have internships with Fortune 500 companies as requirements for graduation.

Part of the ranking of a university is the percentage of graduates employed in the first year, the percentage recruited by Fortune 500 corporations, and the percentage that advanced to further studies or research.

It seems like the same Trinitrollers are unhappy with education and employment, too. No job in Trinidad? Leave - if you're good enough.

The strongest swimmer jumps off the sinking ship first.

edit: I have to wonder who would try to get a job in a field without knowing what the prospects are after graduation? Five years after? 10? Some folks just have to bitchh about being cheated because they can't handle living in the world.

As my father who didn't make it past primary school would say,"paper doesn't do work"
He's a retired underwater welder/industrial Tank builder.Paper tall, his linked in profile is longer than most people with the amount of certifications he got on the job by experience.
Not that he was popping down education, but to say that you must apply yourself and work hard to achieve something for yourself despite what you feel that you are entitled to.
Look for the opportunities and go to them.Nobody is going to bring it to you.

When would it be too late to learn a trade? I've been fascinated by woodworking, landscaping and fabrication for over a decade now. Although my degree has been useful, the general feeling is that its rewards were not proportionate to the time spent obtaining it.

You are NEVER too old to learn a trade.

Some years ago, I twice signed up to do a plumbing course which never came off. Never got the chance since to find another provider.

Many people change careers or retire to become skilled craftsmen. And vice versa - the average person changes careers 5 to 6 times in their lifetime.

Well ah mean how much closures and shuttering happened in the energy industry over the past 10 years?
Surely that sector is one where the supply and demand for labour has moved on different tangents.
