Life after high school in Nairobi most of the time differs from the dreams the students have. Collin, a 20 year old, dreamed of becoming an aeronautical engineer. Now he is selling earrings and -t-shirts. But he is his own boss, and proud of it. “Use your talents, with or without high school”, he says. Because even with a high school diploma it is very hard to get a good job and build a career.
Why didn’t Collin stay in university? The world needs aeronautical engineers more than it needs shop-keepers. The pay would be much better, too!
