It was just another day for Lemuel Nsiah-Kusi as he scrolled through his Twitter timeline catching up on tweets he had missed. His eye caught a tweet from one of his followers who tweeted about being jobless and a readiness to accept any job which will pay him GHC700.
This tweet led to several people responding to say that you need to know your worth and not accept low pay for anything. This prompted Lemuel to go on a realest tweetstorm by sharing his personal experience as a KNUST graduate who had hopes of finishing school, landing a good job and making it in life but life apparently had very different plans for him.
I met up with him over at Mango and Wheat and he had this to share.
What degree did you undertake at KNUST?
I studied Development Planning as I have a major interest in real estate development. I completed in 2014.
What were your plans after school? Did you make any?
The thing is most students like myself create the perfect picture of how we will finish school, put in job applications to several organisations which will generate several calls and you have to decide which job is suitable for you. It’s really not like that at all in reality. Even students who are from well-to-do families find themselves having to wait a while to get a job. Even though I had made such plans, it didn’t turn out that way.
