After my degree programme, for 3 months I was employed as a cleaner and I enjoyed the job but after awhile I met alot of tax drivers in Singapore with Masters Degree.

I don't know the circumstances which lead you to be a cleaner and in which country you were a cleaner but if you were providing janitorial services in Singapore per you comparison with Taxi drivers in Singapore, I suppose the cleaner's job would have been sufficient cater for you basic needs.

Back home in PNG, securing a good paying job is hard for uni graduates. Some very good students haven't even secured employment yet while unqualified people make their way into positions whose minimum qualification requirement is a degree. There is no difference between an accounting degree from UPNG/Unitech/DWU to a certificate in book keeping from ITC. Everyone is being classified as graduate accountants. This is why I am saying there is lots of nepotism and corrupt deals going on in the recruitment processes in organisations in PNG. It's all a system game now, it will require major culture changes and I am not sure if this generation in PNG will ever see any changes at all.

In regard to your latter note, I assume that you have not yet read in full the message behind making people earn their living competitively. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
