Career Fox

Is your child in Standard 7-Form 5? If yes, you need to help them understand where the world of work is heading so that when they think about their career interests and ultimately make their choices, they are able to pick marketable courses that’ll lead to fulfilling and sought after careers.

The worst mistake a student can make is picking a course that they are either not interested in, one that is not aligned with their natural skills and talents or one that isn’t marketable or in demand! Career Guidance can put an end to this cycle.

The book PRE-ORDER price is P220, and it comes with a free career guidance session. WhatsApp us on 77783219 for your orders.you

If you are to pursue ENTREPRENEURSHIP, do it now while you're young with not much at stake or holding you back. It's okay to start with something as small as sweets, cool time or whatever else that you can sell.

The trick lies in STARTING while you're a teenager or 20something years old and Single (Unmarried) and without a child, or with one, maximise on your time. One day you will be tied down by all these titles and responsibilities with hardly any room to explore!

The world is headed in an unfavourable direction where job security is minimal.

Our WARRIOR CRUSH WEDNESDAY this week goes to Bogadi Serumola. If you're an aspiring nurse or thinking of pursuing NURSING, here is a bit of light to help you navigate your path.

💉Does nursing pay well??
—-> I will not answer this with comparison with other countries but in all honesty, the Government doesn’t pay nurses well, if you want to get a GOOD pay as a nurse, go for the private sector.. Don’t just go blindly though, have a good plan on your finances as people always say “there’s no security in private” .. Personally though, I’m VERY HAPPY where I am, and I have no plans of working for the government!!!

💉How many points do I need to study nursing
when I’m done with BGCSE?
——> Obviously 36+ but you have to do extremely well on your sciences and maths m, they’re really considered.

💉Do I need to rewrite to do nursing?
——> in all honesty, I think you have the money to pay for yourself to go to school then you don’t have to rewrite. Akere the government sponsors those that have done well and if you rewrite and do well? So if you didn’t but later realise that you really want to do this, you certainly can save up and pay for yourself. IHS fees are actually even quite affordable, please do enquire ..

💉 IHS or UB?
—-> Personally, I vote for IHS! Not because I was there but because of how the system of the academia works!! In IHS, you’ll hardly FD, you’d rather Retake, Mme ebile go berekilwe and ebile even if you retake, you’re 100% sure that you’re gonna pass it next. Of course it’s a diploma, but we ALL get to work le bana ba degree one way or the other. 😂 haele gore o bothale wa itshepa, then go for UB! IHS doesn’t have BSC and it’s not a 4 year course, and IHS has practicals right from the word GO so you have the opportunity to quit if you think this isn’t your field as early as you can but as for UB, you’re exposed to practicals on your 3rd year if not mistaken. IHS students, get very little allowance tho, but I don’t think that should be the base of your decision when you want to make a career choice.

💉Is nursing hard?
—-> Nursing g*e thata!!!! It’s not hard at all, it’s only that there’s a lot of content! A lot that you have and need to read and grasp, sometimes it’s quite confusing and overwhelming but it makes sense once you apply the knowledge to your practicals, goa berekiwa tota! And everything you learn in class is very very much applicable in the workplace. I still get to read my books to remind myself a few stuff .. but otherwise, wa twaela and you end up enjoying. It has its highs and lows, it’s frustrations and exciting moments.

💉What do I still find hard to get used to?
—-> Definitely the p**p fam!! 😭💔😂 I will never get used to that.. Ive gotten used to everything, and I mean everything and NOT THAT!!!! 😭😂😂😂

Otherwise, nursing is for those that love it and have the passion for helping. You see ALL kinds of things that may either disgust you , 😂 frighten you or traumatise you, but eventually you get used to it and you stick around because you love what you do! ❤️

Tag your friends and siblings so they can make good decisions on their career, you guys can ask more here and I’ll help out where I can 🤗

Your TALENT and PASSION are your greatest assets!

The sad reality of our time is that the once popular and prestigious career options: Accounting, Finance, Banking, Law, etc. are approaching their point of saturation, while most positions have become obsolete because of automation and technology.

In Botswana there are a lot of untapped opportunities in the creative and entertainment sector, which is why your talent will be your greatest asset in the coming future. Talent was once just talent, but today you can actually live and survive off of it as a career.

Do your research and stop listening to people's opinions all the time. Also, we live in times where the world has become so accessible, social media has bridged the gap. You could work for the U.K but be in Botswana physically or you could just relocate. Heeeenything is possible if you put your mind to it.
