Was Billgate, Marc, Jack and co begging for government jobs. Be creative and stop blaming game. Education is liberation.
Indeed you are living your name. Not everyone can be your name and not everyone can be like Bill gates
At Sir, Mensah.... If you can't mingle with society, and that BOOK QUALIFY YOU TO BE THE BEST. THEN I have no idea about realism.
Check, even Gates and Musk had ample support from their rich parents, and for a long time. Gates' mother was at IBM and prepared grounds for his contracts with the Group.
Respect Mensah's opinion.
Bawumia should debate himself and tell Ghanaians, why after almost eight years of their governance, an economist with a first class is struggling for employment in Ghana,? whilst they promised in 2016 that unemployment was go ...

That’s a big massive lie to allege. People including myself were accessing funds until NPP came to power when things started to collapse
Is she living in a country where those people made it? Why couldn't you find a Ghanaian example to give her? Because there's none if you aren't connected or willing to sleep with big men. She just graduated and needs to start ...

I wish her all the best in her search for job. Unfortunately they lied to us that if you get first at the university it means you have made it in life. Not knowing it’s a mirage
Who said so please?
The corrupt and incompetent one and economic illiterate could do with her services.
You thought lecturers were doing you good when they were encouraging you to undergo academic gymnastics. Your case might be different but girls your type are coming out in their numbers with fake certificates. We know them al ...

My sister please apply to do your masters/PhD in the US or Canada where you will definitely get a scholarship. Come back to Ghana and become Dep Minister Finance. Good luck.
Hahaha, is the Dep minister finance job open like that? She making a choice of becoming Dep minister seems cartoon world
Madam start doing something, please go into bakery or poultry. Your first class will help you expand your business and be CEO soon. See me for a loan.
These people don’t like such jobs oo. They want to work for a company and be paid monthly. The country is still at night. Many are still dreaming
Hahahah, the country still at night; many are still dreaming, but who told you people do not daydream? Hahah
Is Sunday, so let me be a good man. How on earth can you say this? Not all people are creative that is why we all need good governments to create conducive conditions for everyone. Well your name says it all.

Chew and pour education in Ghana doesn’t add any value to your life. That is why she’s begging. Nothing sensible in that coconut.
Go for loan and sell bread, rice, gari, sugar, Tom brown, milk powder, nuts for 3 to 5 yrs. Do your masters n fly out to us or canada for phd

In Ghana it is not what you know but whom you know. The other way around it is called Octopussy. If you don’t know about it, then forget about it.
University or college degrees alone will not make you financially secure. Only those who are prepared to be courageous, think outside the box by exploring opportunities, take sensible risks ,those prepared to work hard and pa ...

Economics isn't a skill, let alone in demand to guarantee a graduate a job, so must she beg. No rocket science!
I think it will be better to start something small on your own rather than waiting for someone to employ you. You may get a job but better to feed yourself rather than waiting for someone to give you food. A word to the wise ...

The problem is sometimes the first class is not truly earned. Males lecturers in our universities are destroying standards. That's the sad truth
All those ladies with 1st class are fake, sex for grade nkoaa. Just give her the opportunity and see how they will under perform
I'm sure you're talking about your mother, sisters, unties and the other ladies in your family.
Ghanaians depends too much on government for everything. With your degree can't you just start something new? I am also advising Ghanaians, to make sure that the courses they are going to take at the university are going to h ...

Education is a scam . Dont waste your time on this nonsense . .,wasted years .
She has limited her self to the financial sectors, that is causing her joblessness.

You are one of those bankers using their academic skills to scam people right? All those banks that were closed were fraud.
There are so many tertiary institutions looking for lecturers. Have you tried getting into one of them, instead of being fixated with financial institutions?
We are all saying things against the lady for nothing, starting something on her own requires some start up capital and where does she get it from. There are families in this country who depend on National Service allowance f ...

Unemployment amongst graduates has been in Ghana long before the NPP party was created let alone the introduction of SHS so where from all this blah blah blah. Ask your Mahama if he was ever able to help them. Get a life!
1 class alone is not a guarantee for job in any part of the world. Wise up.

This young lady should kindly see Nana Aba Amihere to assist her immmedisteky in seeking for a job!
Big men are going to take advantage of her predicament and sleep with her anyhow before putting her somewhere,sad.Women's world is full of tears indeed.
First class these days does not mean anything. Most of these graduates cannot write to save themselves.
Let the Scholarship Secretariat help you study for your masters degree in a foreign University. Get in touch with it to see how best it can help you.
Never open your legs to any stupid, bloated man who claims to be a top executive in any establishment. You deserve to get a good job by merit.

Why do you want to do your masters outside Ghana. This one of the reasons we are not progressing. Study here and reduce your cost period.

If she had 1st class , she could easily have been a teaching assistant at the same school same department enroute to pursuing masters abroad where there're bigger and better opportunities !
Ghana education is chew pour and forget. Getting first class DOES NOT TRANSLATE INTO BEING A GOOD EMPLOYEE. Employers have moved away from paper certification as it’s easier to get a paper than experience.

Let me offer her free advice.
Potential employers are not looking to employ people only on the basis of certificates.
They want to know what you bring to the table. What can you contribute to the success of the business.
Can't she establish herself some business or sell food. She is lazy that is why she's begging for job
