Every child dreams of landing in his /
her dream job. He / she would fanticised and sometimes behave and dress like
how successful people do. It is this zeal that propels him / her to learn hard
whiles in school. Some would engage in illegal acts to pass examinations whiles
in school.
One would, by law have to go through a
year mandatory National Service in Ghana.
Hitherto, one gets automatic employment
even before completing his / her service. The case of the Ghanaian Graduate is
that he / she must search and apply for non – existence jobs.
The main challenge sometimes is the huge number that are searching for these jobs. The time is now for you to make a choice – between Freedom and Bondage. It is a choice between wealth and poverty. The stark truth is that you are not the only unemployed chap in Ghana or elsewhere. There are several of your kind in the system.
"National Service is a preparatory ground to acquire a special skill"
The only solution to the current
unemployment mess, is for one to be SELF EMPLOYED. Don’t do national service
and expect government to employ you.
National Service does not guarantee
employment.
