Talk of Math
sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse,
cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse,
tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent
Also
try this out:
Question:
Athletes A, B and C start running at the same time and from the same point
around a circular track of 70m radius. A and B run clockwise and C counter clockwise.
If A meets C every 88 seconds and B meets C every 110 seconds, then after how
much seconds does A meets B?
By now, you should know if you belong to the numerical
world of Math, or you belong somewhere else. Like any other Math hater, when I
was in Junior school, I already knew I was not into additions and subtractions.
The good thing, I performed well in all other areas of study. This went on
until now and I can tell I still hate Math. The last time I tried Math was when
I did an online aptitude test, you know how it ended. Well, here are a few careers
you might be interested in if you share my traits.
1.
Police Officer
You
should consider a career in law enforcement if you want to help protect your
community to avoid the sins and cosigns world.
Police
officers usually spend their time patrolling assigned areas, conducting traffic
stops, and enforcing the law. While an officer may need to do a few
calculations or even non on duty, he doesn’t need much knowledge in Math while
performing his duties.
Want
to fight crime, not number sets? To pursue a career as a police officer, you
must first graduate from Police Training. You also need to be physically fit in
order to work under hardship conditions and odd hours; you all know how police
recruitment is done here in Kenya. Many agencies like CID or the affiliate NIS may
also require a college degree or some college coursework. Check out the Police Website
for details of joining.
2.
Lawyer
Law is
a service profession. The only time lawyers really need to do some calculations
is when they get paid for their cases. Yes, very interesting. Talk of high
flying Kenyan lawyers, Abdelnassir, Kethi Kilonzo, Oraro, Ngatia, Wako, Katwa
to name a few. This is where you belong; however, it doesn’t come just like
that. Brace yourself for a Four year University course in Law, followed by
another year at the Kenya School of Law (KSL) before you smell the bar. It is
also a very intensive course with lots to read and learn. You need to have a
passion because you may have to make many visits to Maximum security prisons to
visit your clients if you are in criminal law.
3.
Preacher
Yes, It’s the best job you can
have, and if you become very good, you meet lots of people from all walks of
life. All you need to do is study the bible or other religious books and have a
divine calling from above. The only time you get involved in calculations is
when you give advice on use of church income. There is no education
requirement for this position, however, some churches may insist on theological
studies before you are ordained as a preacher.
4.
Entertainer
This is one of the most
lucrative professions in Kenya and the world. Talk of Beyonce’s $ 50 million endorsement by Pepsi and now
appears on Pepsi Cans. These guys get paid for shows, appearing on adverts and
billboards to mention a few. Talking of our own Kenyans, Eric Omondi,
Churchill, Mbusi, Ruftone, Emmy Kosgei etc.
Besides, entertainers are born.
It’s a God given talent; you don’t train to be one.
5.
Athlete
People are now taking sports
very seriously. You could get endorsed by a blue chip company and earn millions
of shillings just to show up for events, not to mention winning them.
But you need to go slow on
this, especially when you are a Kenyan, a country where almost everyone can run
really fast. Just pull up your socks cousin, you can do it too.
By now, Kenyans realize that
you really don’t need to work in an office or be a Math professor to earn a
good leaving. The money is out there on the streets.
