It’s now official. I am unemployed. Handed in my dissertation today, which my supervisor finally accepted. It’s the only thing that was still keeping me on campus, as I finished my three-year course.
Now I am thinking of what to be telling my friends, the continuing students, whom I have no doubt will be asking me what’s keeping me on campus. I begin thinking of what to do next, but certainly parking my stuff to Sembabule isn’t one of the options.
What would I tell the old man who up to now is waiting for me to return home in a posh official car, with a juicy job to turn his life around?
Mr. Bernard Sabiti
That’s what he boasts of all day, telling his drinking friends of how his son has finished Makerere, one of my distant uncles who recently came from the village told me.
Because I can also neither stay in University Hall (UH) undetected due to tougher university rules and regulations these days, I decided to rent a one roomed house in Kikoni.
*** End of Mr. Bernard Sabiti’s Real Life Experiences Diary Entry ***
With permission from Mr. Bernard Sabiti, we are serializing and publishing selected episodes from his column “A Job Seeker’s Diary” that was first published in a national newspaper. Whereas, Mr. Sabiti is now a very successful consultant, we decided to share and to publish episodes from his column on our website because they are directly relevant to our overall goal of “building healthy communities” through “engaging in educational and scientific activities to stimulate the development, dissemination and widespread application of technologies suitable and adaptable to the social, cultural and economic conditions of developing countries. Mr. Sabiti’s life story, as a whole, is the more relevant to us, since there seems to be nothing he has not done, innovating to better his lot and to contribute to the bettering of life for his wider communities.
