Let me show you something nobody explains to you when you join university.

University is not the problem. Waiting until graduation to start building your career is. Most students spend 3'4 years following this trajectory: Study → Pass exams → Graduate → Start looking for experience. But there's a better trajectory: Study → Learn a marketable skill → Build projects → Get experience → Graduate with a career already in motion. Your degree matters. But in today's job market, employers also want to know: What can you actually do? That's why I'm a huge believer in learning an additional skill while you're in university. Software engineering. AI. Data. Cybersecurity. Digital marketing. Product design. Sales. You don't need to abandon university. You need to stop treating graduation as the starting line of your career. At McTaba Labs, this is exactly what we're trying to build: people who don't just learn technology, but build real things with it. If you're a university student, save this. And if you're a parent paying university fees, ask yourself: “What else am I doing to prepare my child for the world they're graduating into?” Your degree is an investment. Make sure your skills are one too. Check out our skill programs at Mctaba
