AFTER FORM FOUR, MUST EVERY YOUNG PERSON FOLLOW THE SAME PATH? π°πͺπ
One of the misconceptions we may be passing on to our young people is that success can only come through a university degree.
Yes, Kenya needs doctors, engineers, teachers and graduates in many other professions. College and university remain important pathways.
But Kenya also needs skilled technicians, professional car detailers, automotive specialists and entrepreneurs who can turn practical skills into livelihoods.
Look at the car-care industry. Professional detailing goes beyond washing a vehicle. It involves interior restoration, watermark removal, machine polishing, paint care, engine-bay cleaning and understanding the correct use of detailing products and equipment.
These are practical skills that can open doors to employment, specialisation and eventually running a detailing business. Of course, success takes practice, discipline, experience and a commitment to quality. Training alone does not guarantee a job or a profitable business.
For the last six years, I have been working in the car-care industry, building Three Jays Detailing Investment and developing my passion for practical detailing skills through Three Jays Academy.
Now, as many young Kenyans prepare for life after Form Four, I want to encourage parents, guardians and young people to consider another option: learning a practical skill alongside planning for the future.
