Social media sensation Pretty Nicole, only 16 years old, has surprised many after securing a television job despite being a Primary Seven dropout.
Nicole was recently spotted anchoring a celebrity gossip show, sparking mixed reactions across the country.
While her fans have congratulated her for the big step, some journalism students are not happy with the development.
They argue that they spend years in school, investing both money and time to qualify for such opportunities, yet Nicole has landed one without formal training.
Many critics say her controversial social media presence may have played a big role in attracting the opportunity.
This has now sparked a wider debate:
Is being controversial and popular on social media more valuable than having academic qualifications in today’s job market?
