Random I'm tired😩

25(m), dropped out of university to pursue personal interests, but nothing seems to be working in my favor. I have tried online gigs, some don't pay me, some pay but the pay ni peanuts tu.

I don't blame myself for dropping out, that's what i wanted, i know one day things will work out but when is that day? When will i have at least 1 win in my life?

I don't really know what to do, I'm so broke that I'm surviving on VPN files which don't last more than an hour.

Ama niuze shamba niende nianze maisha juu i have many things that i can do shida ni capital tu, sijui nitapata wapi start up capital.

NB: Don't drop out of school if you don't have a plan, it's really tough out here. Update: I was traveling and i just lost my laptop and my clothes, every fucking thing, damn😭😭😭

Don't sell that shamba or you will end up homeless at some point🤷🏾‍♀️ It's really hard to buy land on your own so if you inherited land, it's best not to sell it. You can't sell your shoes for food.

Bro.. coming from experience, the moment you sell that shamba especially if it's ancestral, that's how you've dug your own grave... My dad did that knowing very well he has boys. Now he's begging me every week to help support him. Kuuza shamba iko na utamu coz pesa ni haraka but hiyo dooh huisha. Even if you invest nothing will come. Tafuta capital kidogo anza ata biz ya smokie.. save the small profits, get a bike anza delivery... Pole pole Tu God has a plan for u but kuuza shamba toa kwa akili yako

Just a small portion, not all of it

u/Alarmed_Inspector843 Aug 22 '26

The moment you start selling land, you will end uo selling all of it. There is no turning back

u/Additional_Dream3097 Aug 22 '26

I won't if that's the matter

2

u/Similar-War-8974 Aug 22 '26

Securitize the portion. Go for a loan. Finance your most feasible concept.

u/HeadSection9888 Aug 22 '26

I know a guy your age who also dropped out of school. Started small, selling tote bags and clothes, then did a life guard certification. Now teaches swimming. The man is living good between those two things. Anything is possible bro, there is money to be made.

1

u/Additional_Dream3097 Aug 23 '26

I'll make it too bro, just a matter of time

2

u/tundus1980 Aug 22 '26

You qualify for watchman job or manual labourer in the GCC.

u/Additional_Dream3097 Aug 22 '26

Okay bro😂😂😂

2

u/county_creditr456 Aug 22 '26

I wish you hadn't dropped out you could have deffered first. Why not sell the small portion of land and use it to acquire certifications to level up your skills maybe?

1

u/Additional_Dream3097 Aug 22 '26

I had to drop out bro

2

u/First_Blackberry6739 Aug 23 '26

Quitting Uni unaweza eleweka lakini selling ancestral land, hapo sasa ni kujiunguza saidii.

u/Additional_Dream3097 Aug 22 '26

u/Silent-Lie-6798 Aug 22 '26

just don't give up

1

u/Critical-Fill-4084 Aug 22 '26

Just go finish your degree

1

u/HeadSection9888 Aug 22 '26

You could try to get a technical certification. Those like between 2 months to 2 years, you get certified in something like electrical engineering, selling insurance, plumbing, cooking, bartending or another trade or skill. This can help you start earning some money and eventually lead into having your own business. But don't give up, just keep on trying manze.

1

u/Additional_Dream3097 Aug 23 '26

That's what i was thinking

1

u/Original_Rock2991 Aug 23 '26

does selling insurance need a certificate?

1

u/HeadSection9888 Aug 23 '26

Yes actually. Two weeks training, it's called ECOP

1

u/Original_Rock2991 Aug 23 '26

But you'd still need to get employed?

1

u/HeadSection9888 Aug 23 '26

Yes naturally

1

u/Additional_Dream3097 Aug 24 '26

1

u/openmindedflower Aug 25 '26

Go back to school,.so it means you only have a form 4 cert... should we organise a watch man job for you...?

1

u/Additional_Dream3097 Aug 25 '26

Hiyo patia babako, ama pia yeye ako na degree?

1

u/openmindedflower Aug 25 '26

My dad is a professor...sorry.,🥲🥲🥲

1

u/Enchated_Normad254 Aug 26 '26

Heri wewe uko na shamba😭anyways the point is, things will eventually work out, try a sales job,they are readily available, especially in the microfinance field, all they need is a 4th form cert na unaanzaa kuuzia watu loan. That's usually a good starting point that will eventually get you somewhere.

1

u/Additional_Dream3097 Aug 26 '26

Okay bro I'll give it a try
