illiterate graduates.

hi folks, this is the second part of my earlier post. to day i ask you, are you literate? the question of eduaction, knowledge and literacy is very exciting. in this day and age many go about this world with huge qualifications from the biggest institution with the notion that they deserve jobs becuase they believe they are literate. but what kind of education do you have? are you just word literate or do you have complete literacy. we live in the information age, yet our universities still have long queues for registration. many "graduates" have no idea how to design a simple presentation with Power Point. ask him to present a project or design a proposal and all hell breaks loose. people have no soft skills. they cant post a simple blog, they can't discuss the business times, they have no idea what a business plan looks like. young graduates have no leadership skills, no investment skills, no entepreneural skills, no business skills, no socail skills. we are finacially illiterate, emotionally illiterate, technologically illiterrate, economically illiterate and spiritually illiterate. so before you whip out your certifcate and CV to brag at an inteview, ask yourself, " im i really literate?
