Job satisfaction begins with the course you study after KCSE

After passing my A-level examinations, the Joint Admissions Board unilaterally decided that I should be a teacher. I was dispatched to Kenyatta University to study for a degree in education. Although teaching was not one of my career choices, I had no option but to patiently go through the motions in the university for three years.

After labouring to finish the course, I was posted as a secondary school teacher. I had no passion for teaching. Not that I have anything against teaching, which is a noble profession that I admire for it is the foundation of all other careers, but I had no calling for it and was therefore not my cup of tea.
