Eight Years Since Leaving Secondary School.

This month makes it exactly 8years since we all said goodbye to secondary school. We left a uniform wearing world to face life challenges as grownups. Let me use this opportunity and platform to reflect on life in OGS (Okota Grammar School), the reason why we exist together.

We all walked into the school some 14yrs ago as toddlers, without a goal or target, we just walked in to continue the script given to us, that after primary school comes secondary. Different kids from different backgrounds, some tall, some short, some are good while some are not. We managed to understand each other and choose our allies based on personal interests, we followed the flow and some became more than just friends but family.

Four Reasons Why It Is Better to Be an Apprentice Rather Than Going to College

A long time ago, apprenticeships were necessary for construction and similar jobs that required learning through practice. With the increased popularity of college degrees, this type of learning fell in the shade. Nowadays, a degree seems to be more important than practice. Apprenticeship is seen as the “second best” alternative to an undergraduate degree, and it’s usually linked to vocational qualifications.




Here comes the surprise: some of the most successful entrepreneurs were once apprentices. Laurence Graff (a famous English jeweler and owner of a multibillion business), popular chef Jamie Oliver, Sir Ian McKellen, Stella McCartney… the list can go on. Although apprenticeship is seen as a not-so-good alternative to a university degree, it still holds tons of benefits.


Here are 4 reasons why it is a good thing to be an apprentice:


1. You Gain Real Experience Earlier than People Who Go to University


When you decide to be an apprentice in the industry of your choice, you start gaining practical experience way earlier than your friends who carry on with their education. You will become independent and you’ll get an opportunity for making career progress. Four years from now, the best students will be graduating. Most of them will take longer. By that point, you’ll already be further on your career path.




If you’re productive enough, you’ll have enough time to combine your apprenticeship with actual studies. You can sign up for part-time studies or an online degree and do the studying in your free time. Unlike most of the people who go to college or university, you’ll be paying for your own studies. That’s a huge accomplishment for a young person.
