Nothing new in this world,people gone through this b4 n am going through the same
I was refused admission at Tech in 1980 but these same grades took me to univerities in Ukraine and Scotland.
I eventually did my Second masters at Tech
This story indeed touches the heart. I am a fully employed person but I am encouraged by it and I have picked some good lessons too. Cheers.
this is a touching story to hear
I think the government should make a plan for graduates who have done their service to many institution s to acquire job after serving the Nation.
In the past couple of years I had formed an opinion that young people in Ghana desire to get to the top of the social ladder without working for it. Lemuel Nsiah's story is unique and has forced me to revise my thinking. Ye ...

Great. Happy to hear this.
There is no point pursuing a degree for which there are no jobs. But hopefully, the degree has prepared you to "think" and be adaptable to the job market.

It is said that "No conditioning is permanent. Bro you have saved a million young guys sleeping with their degrees. God bless you for being bold to the world.Let's accept the challenges we face.
We are passing through the same.
And take home pay less than 200 Ghana
Great story. As a development planning graduate from KNUST myself, I'm not sure how I would've coped. Interestingly, I happily took up a cleaning job alongside my studies once I left GH to study abroad. Good luck!

Amazing story.Just like in the US you never know who is cleaning or working as security could be a lawyer,doctor anybody till they get a job.Ghana is changing.I am happy for this boy he will go very far.
Very inspiring, but how can you complete university in 2014 and also complete ur National service in September de Same year.
A lesson must be learnt from this and am referring to all graduates out there.
Every success comes with sacrifice. Many holders of PHD in the US work as cleaners before rising.
My niece from a 2nd cousin and a 2nd yr student at KNUST asked for assistance to get her a holiday job.
