FCT, Abuja -Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has listed courses to avoid for those who don’t want to live in poverty.

Omokri said that skilled workers are often more educated than PhD holders in fields such as sociology and political science.

According to Omokri, an educated person has the craft and skill to create jobs without depending on others.

He said this in a video shared via his Facebook page.

The social critic explained that 'a craft is a profession, a skill, the knowledge you can use independently to make a living without depending on anybody.'

“A rate-technician, a coder, a cloud computing expert, a blockchain developer, a nurse, and a number of other skilled workers are actually more educated than PhD holders in sociology, political science, anthropology, library science, philosophy, and international relations, and many of those are obsolete."

Omokri said studying a craft makes you independent of anybody and you employ yourself, compared to those who study certain courses and only end up with a paper certificate and no independent means to make a living.

"You need a job and jobs in those areas are very limited. That’s why a lot of people are broke. A lot of people are disgusted because they have these degrees and they think that these degrees make them entitled to jobs. But the only job you are entitled to is the job that you can create yourself."
