If I could travel back in time and give advice to my 18-year-old self, I would tell myself to immediately get a job. Despite obtaining N6 certificates in marketing, I am still unable to find a job.
I was at an interview two months ago and spoke to a girl who dropped out in grade 10. To my surprise, the girl was one of 15 people who were eventually hired by the company.
I, on the other hand, was told I was overqualified.
What is the point of studying? Are my certificates supposed to be used as decorations?
