@Whatever777G; You need around R100k minimum to do an MBA and there is no grants for such a course. So don’t make people feel inferior for not having qualifications

@Dashofcool_; The Grandmother can still live for another 20 years, and till use her knowledge to inspire and teach 🙌, some people don’t even live beyond 30 years with their qualifications ,so is that a waste of time. some people are so insensitive 😑, and negative just in general.
