Why can’t I get a job? It’s hopes and prayers for this young lady! – source Daily Nation.
In spite of all the shortcomings, Susan enrolled for a CPA course with Kenya Accountants and Secretaries National Examinations Board, KASNEB. She recounts: “I was determined to finish my studies with not just a degree, but with a professional course to complement it. That way, I stood a better chance to get a job.” Now with examination fee to pay for her accounting course, the burden was suddenly twice as heavy. She knew she had to fire from all available cylinders, by hook or by crook, to make it. And she did.
In the December of 2014, her wearisome and almost frustrating journey through the university climaxed with her graduation with a Second Class Honours degree.
“It was both a joy and relief for me. I had attained what I had almost lost hope about. Painfully but successfully.”
