She earned first-class honors. Now she’s earning 10K a day selling vegetables. And she’s not apologizing.

Meet “Scholar” – the Kenyatta University finance graduate who’s flipping the script on what success looks like in 2025. While her classmates flood LinkedIn with desperate DMs, she’s stacking cash in Kahawa’s bustling markets, apron on, ambition intact.

Fresh off the December graduation stage, Scholar did what every good commerce student does: she hunted for internships and white-collar positions. The market had other plans. So she made her own.

Her viral TikTok – a cheeky dance video captioned with her pivot from corporate dreams to vegetable sales – turned her into an overnight sensation.

But here’s the plot twist: Scholar isn’t bitter. She’s thriving. On good days, her ‘Mama Mboga’ hustle pulls in 5,000 to 10,000 shillings, proving that entrepreneurship doesn’t wait for permission slips or job offers.

“Having a degree shouldn’t stop you from doing honest work,” Scholar told Oga Obinna, her confidence as fresh as her produce.

This isn’t a story about settling – it’s about strategy. While keeping her vegetables crisp and her customers happy, Scholar is still actively seeking finance opportunities. She’s not choosing between dreams; she’s funding them.

In a job market that ghosted an entire generation, Scholar is writing her own offer letter. She’s proof that today’s graduates don’t need corporate validation to validate their worth.
