It’s Not Fair Working as a Teller Yet I Have A Masters!


By Elizabeth Benu


“With everyone rushing to acquire a degree, I always thought having a masters was the best thing. That it was the only thing that could set me apart. Now I am stuck,” confesses John Kuria, a teller in a local bank.


John is stuck in a job he does not love and he has done everything to get out of it. He has been reading widely about how to get a job with a masters degree and all the articles never seem to help. He has been applying for all jobs he comes across, but no employer responds to his request.


This is his story:


“I have a job that pays my bills, but with each passing day I feel more depressed and thoughts of quitting my job are always on my mind. My reason  is because I feel I am better than this.


One year after completing my KCSE, I flew to the UK to study. Studying there is expensive and it cost me 3 million shillings per year to undertake my degree and masters. This summed up to 12 million shillings. I now posses a degree in Business Management and human Resource Management and a first class honours master in strategy and International Business.


Having been sponsored by my parents I decided to take initiative and look for a job. After all, they had done so much for me already. I currently work in an esteemed bank in Nairobi as a teller.


It is my first full time job. I am disappointed in myself because after investing a lot and studying hard I am just a bank teller. Counting people’s money yet I ought to have a very senior position somewhere. It is not fair at all! I feel that I am settling for less and while I still need to pay my bills I am not happy with this job.


Should I quit or job search while in this teller job or I’m in this because I lack experience?


Please help.”


What Advice would you give John?
