You have heard of many cases where people end up in careers that they never studied for in college or university or any other institution of higher learning.
This can widely be attributed to the high rates of unemployment in the country which leaves many people with few options. In fact, many have since dropped the 'kazi bora' phrase to 'bora kazi' and 'bora uhai' phrases.
