A DEGREE IS AN EXPENSIVE RECEIPT

Education is widely considered the key to success. In Uganda a majority of university-educated young people find themselves turning to careers in informal industries - like the second-hand clothing trade. In this episode, Bobby & Nikissi speak to second-hand clothing boutique owner Faridah Ali. She reflects on her entry into the business,  her education in the Social Sciences and her dreams & aspirations. Her story reflects the challenges faced by the majority of young Ugandans, who cannot find meaningful employment in their field of study.
