A nonfiction book
Degreed
but Disposable
The Silent Crisis of Kenyan Graduates
The book
A short, direct account of what a degree no longer promises.
Written from inside the Kenyan labour market rather than about it — the informal work degree holders take on, the applications that vanish into portals, and a generation learning that a certificate was a ticket, not a guarantee.

About the author
Kenwild Samo
Kenwild Samo is a data analyst who spent years watching credentials and outcomes drift apart in Kenya's job market. Degreed but Disposable grew out of that gap — a firsthand account of what happens after the graduation photos, written for the graduates living it and the country deciding what to do about it.
