I never really expected outstanding KCSE results but a D+ was lower than what I expected. I always scored a C+ and above. So I was never worried about getting into university. However, with the results out it is clear that no university will take me in.

I am in a dilemma about which course to pursue with the grade I got. Are there any marketable courses for people who got grades like mine? Kindly advise me” This is an email I received this week.

What you need to do is find out which courses you can pursue depending on the subjects you studied. Then you need to choose a course among those that you are interested in. After figuring out what course you can pursue, you then need to find an institution where you can study that course.
