Attention shifting to Crypto so do people still believe in education?
Attention is drifting fast towards crypto as the world evolves. Nowadays, young people make money online, social media, they trade and invest. Anybody with a phone and internet can earn in ways that education never promised. This brings about the question: do people still believe in formal education, or is it slowly losing its value?
It is only in Nigeria that people believe education is a waste of time and resources, because after graduating from a higher institution, even with a first class degree, you may still not be able to secure a job in Nigeria due to bad government. Thoss in power are more interested in embezzling money to enrich themselves and their household. They do not care about the well being of the people they are meant to represent in the government. It is only in Nigeria you will see master's degree holders riding okada. I am not saying that things are perfect in other countries, because every country has it's own ups and downs.
There is some truth in your statement, especially in Nigeria when we get a higher degree and then look for a job, we do not get it. Those in power give their people good jobs and they value their people more in order to improve their family status. However, talented people with higher degrees are not taken to good positions, moreover, we see in many cases that those who can pay a lot get the job. It is true that people with masters and higher degrees often earn their living by driving taxis and motorcycles, they choose such a path when looking for a job and do not get a job. Although the government is not worried about this bad situation in the country, rather the unemployment rate in the country is increasing, as a result of which the people of the country are looking for alternatives on online platforms. Such a bad situation is seen in many countries of the world including Nigeria, especially in almost every country there is ups and downs, more or less.
