Berbice qualify the unqualified

Does it pay to further your studies in Guyana?

On second thought all you need to do is get ‘a link in the place’ or ‘use your rank’ instead of pursuing your diploma or degree. 

Yes! Of course! That is a better option! Because it seems as though, even if you have all or most of the qualifications and experience you can’t get the job if you don’t have ‘links’ or ‘contacts’ as they call them in Berbice.

The qualified are left without while the unqualified are getting the benefits…

Let us go down memory lane, to about four years ago. I had just left school with excellent grades. I vividly recalled that I hand delivered a job application at a particular government organization. I never got a response even though I knew that the organization had vacancies in and out.  

Do not get me wrong, I am not hating. But some of the employees that are there currently, are now writing CSEC subjects that they did not succeed in. 

Why deny someone who has got the qualifications for someone who is now going to get the qualifications? 

This nonsense must stop!

    The truth is for persons in gt too. The employment issue is fluid. It's either you are over or uder qualified or too young or old, or too inexperienced or over value.
    But I wish to stir up a new momentum for Guyana, particularly our future, the youths. Let's stop procrastinating and wishful thinking, to become our own job creators...

I got into the old, raggedy car, the only one there. The driver’s face lit up when he saw me it was as if he was a beggar and I had just offered him a free meal. ‘Did you hear bout de Otisha story?’ he asked the young boy sitting in the seat next to his. ‘Yes! Ah hear and someone gimme a video that Travis Chase took! Wait! Lemme look fuh it!’ the boy said as he hurriedly unlocked his phone, and began searching for the video. By this time, the anger in me started to build up. I recall the night I saw the video, my friend forcefully made me watch it, I saw nothing more than a journalist abusing his power. I remember traveling in public transportation and walking around in various stores, that week, and all I recall was people, Guyanese, of all ages pouring out, over each other’s phone, laughing as the famous journalist, interviewed the popular transgender.

Climate Change: Struggle of fishes

Image
How do fishes breathe? Fishes breath by taking water through their mouths and ‘breathing’ it out through their gills. The gills are similar to our lungs; they contain numerous blood vessels with very thin walls i.e. capillaries. When the water passes over the thin walls of the gills, dissolved oxygen travels to the blood stream and carbon dioxide is released out into the water. Moreover, different fishes use different methods to obtain oxygen from water. For instance, sharks use a method of breathing called ‘ram ventilation’. In this process the sharks do not take the water into their mouths and breathe it out through their gills but the water passes through the gills as the shark swims through the water. Which means that they have to constantly keep moving otherwise they’ll suffocate.
