One of the challenges that have been triggering the inability of graduates to withstand the competition is poor career preparations. In fact, secondary schools, colleges, and those leading the education industry have devoted little/no effort towards setting effective strategies to help students plan for their future careers. The consequence of this has been a poor choice of degree programs. Experience shows that the majority of the graduates and current students have been affected by this challenge in one way or another. In the same vein, most of them realize their mistake when it is too late and there is no point for them to turn around.
