Opinion: The Weird Denizens of the Garage, By Osmund Agbo
“Bruh!.. I got my own space and don’t need to hitch a ride. Heck, I could even keep up with the Joneses when I choose to. God is good and Life is great”.
On Thursday, August 2, 2018, Apple became the first company in the world to reach a trillion-dollar market valuation. The tech giant already known to be the most valuable company in the world today leads all others with a $1.3 trillion market capitalisation. Just to put it in perspective, only 14 countries none of which is in Africa have GDP figures greater than Apple’s market cap. That means that Tim Cook of Apple is arguably in control of more wealth than the President of Nigeria.
Jobs described the rest of his year in college as largely a waste of his parent’s money which was the reason he gave for dropping out in the first place. Maybe a lot of college graduates could relate to a similar experiences. The truth being that against popular opinion, many college courses may not prepare you that much for the rest of your life’s journey. And that most of the courses students are mandated to take are useless in the grand scheme of things.
It doesn’t even matter that the ”non-college educated” person is the highest employer of labour in the area and that he is the ultimate embodiment of success. This I think, is borne out of the longstanding misbegotten belief that having formal education is synonymous with being well informed. Early inventors, the likes of Thomas Edison and Michael Faraday could very easily debunk such myths.
