Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – University is Not the Only Option

			Education, students can pray to Ar-Raza to
		

			provide them with the means and resource to
		

			complete their studies such as scholarships or conducive
		

			learning environments and make that truly a source
		

			of rizq for them.
		

			People study sometimes because everybody else is doing
		

			something, they don't necessarily think what is the
		

			best that they're good at and what they
		

			should do, they do it at the bidding
		

			of somebody else or to follow someone else
		

			or because of a hype and then it
		

			becomes a dead-end course for them and
		

			then it becomes useless and they don't enjoy
		

			it and it's a four-year, five-year
		

			study sometimes and it's all gone down the
		

			drain and then they go into another field
		

			if they're lucky, otherwise they don't.
		

			And I would say that today rather than
		

			just send everybody to university and college, there
		

			are other means, unconventional, now they're becoming conventional
		

			where you can do some other form of
		

			study and work together, going to some kind
		

			of work because university education does not necessarily
		

			guarantee you a job anymore when everybody's got
		

			one.
		

			You know, before less people went to university,
		

			so if you had a university degree then
		

			it meant you stood out.
		

			Everybody's got a degree now, everybody goes to
		

			university, so what, you just become part of
		

			everybody else.
		

			So if you are going to go, make
		

			sure you study something proper, otherwise you're wasting
		

			your time.
