"Even a thermometer has got many degrees but it ends up working in the stinking hairy armpits of human beings."
This is according to Derrick Bitange, an actuarial science graduate who hawks boiled eggs in Kisii town to make his ends meet.
Speaking to Hivisasa on Tuesday afternoon Mr Bitange said that he has been looking for a job since 2013.
At times he says that he was asked for bribes in order to be hired.
" I could not raise such an amount of money and this made me decide to sell eggs as I wait for a good Samaritan to come to my help," he said.
Mr Bitange is not the only frustrated graduate, Mr Victor Nyamaraga is a known cart puller in Kisii town and has been in the business for five years now.
He said that since he could not get a job despite graduating with a Diploma in Electrical engineering he opted to vend water.
"I sell a jerrican of water at Sh 50, this is how I survive with my wife and one kid," he said.
A few kilometres from Kisii town at Menyinkwa is yet another graduate who works as a shoe cobra.
His name, Eric Nyakang'o and he is armed with a degree in education.
"I don't love this job but I really have to work hard for my own good and that of my family," he said.
It is desperation that led Winnie Moraa to marriage and she now has two kids.
Moraa, a graduate in Nutrition said that being married was better than ending up as a commercial sex worker.
On phone, Kisii youths leader, Mr John Otao advised the youths not to depend on employment, however, he urged them to involve themselves in clean job hustles.
Since 2013, both the National and County governments promised to address unemployment but so little has been done about that.
