In a live video posted to TikTok, the young woman sang and made fun of those who had not extended employment prospects to her or even invited her for interviews.

According to what Bridget suggests in the video, even her marriage certificate is more important than her university diploma, so she doesn’t see any problem with burning her university certificate.

Ms. Soko was awarded a degree in business administration upon completing a four-year course with the university but was heard in the video saying she had decided to burn it because she saw no value in it.
