Sidhani kama unaweza pangiwa kozi ambayo hujaichagua, ila kwa sababu umesema umechaguliwa basi Options ulizo nazo ni hizi.

1. Kubali yaishe uisome.

2. Fika chuo badilisha usome kozi uliyokua unaitaka.

3. Kama 1 na 2 haziwezekani, airisha mwaka uombe mwakani tena chuo.

3. Kama 1 na 2 haziwezekani, achana na chuo ulichopangiwa then apply vyuo vya private mwaka huu huu ili usome kozi unayo ipenda (kama application zipo wazi).

4. Kama 1 na 2 haziwezekani, kwasababu una ufaulu mzuri then mwaka huu huu apply shule za private uanze form5 ili usome PCB... then ukimaliza form6 na ukipata 1 au 2 uombe degree ya MD.

Chagua inayo kufaa, kila la heri.

NB: unless 'ujifunze kuipenda' ila kama ukisoma kozi usiyoipenda alafu uje ufanye kazi usiyo ipenda utapata 'frastresheni' (kama hujui maana 'frastresheni' google) alafu uanze kuilaumu serikali kukupangia kozi usiyo ipenda.

Naona bado vijana wa kitanzania hawajitambui na hawatambui nyakati.
Yaani unamaliza form four na kupata division one (point 12) halafu unataka kwenda kusoma diploma ya Health information science kisa umepangiwa na serikali. Ni kozi ambayo huijui, hukuwahi kuiwaza na hujaipenda! Umelogwa na nani? Unataka kusoma hiyo kozi ili iweje haswaa?

Achana na hivyo vitu, nenda zako kasome form five na six kisha ukapambane kupiga degree za maana za science huko mbele ya safari.
