Your choice between MENTORING and MONEY will determine your next level

Hear this: Before you look for jobs, look for mentoring. When you run after money more than you run after mentoring, you would be poor. The problem of jobless graduates is not joblessness; it is lack of mentoring. Our greatest problem is not money, but mentoring. We should stop looking for money and look for mentorship.


Unknown to many degree holders, your earning increases with your learning and exposure. A year spent with a mentor is worth far more than a graduate degree followed by postgraduate study. That mentor can reduce your learning curve by 10 years for every year spent working and learning in his/her shadow.

The earlier a person recognises this concept, the more advanced his/her career and skillsets would be.
Many youths are out there walking aimlessly without a guide. Having a mentor in your life is like having navigation in your car; it would give you both direction and speed.
