MC Kats Urges Ugandans to Break Free from the ‘Salary Box’
Ugandan events MC and media personality MC Kats has joined the ongoing conversation about self-employment versus traditional employment, sharing his thoughts in a post on X.
Known for hosting some of the country’s biggest events, MC Kats used social media to challenge the conventional 9-to-5 mindset.
Salary is a scam to lock you down in a box.
He added that a fixed income often limits people to what others think they are capable of achieving.
He then encouraged his followers to explore their talents beyond their day jobs:
Find what else you are good at. Go try it. And do not let go, even through the hard times.
The debate between self-employment and traditional employment is long-standing in economics, career planning, and personal development circles.
Each path has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the right choice often depends on personality, risk tolerance, career goals, and lifestyle preferences.
For MC Kats, however, relying solely on a salary is a limit on what one can truly achieve.
He believes in exploring your full potential and pushing beyond the boundaries set by conventional employment.
Salary is a scum to lock you Down to a box
Limited to what they think you can avail
Explore you
Find what else you good at
