    What is the idiot in what she said? How much are teachers paid @ the end of the month? Teachers had not been paid for months. At least she will see money everyday if her dream is to keep on trading. She said she can build her ...

    I know a graduate who sells at the market and she's very happy. Teaching is a noble profession and so is selling plantain. As a teacher she would have to wait like 3 years before getting first pay under mahama

    Not everyone wants nursing as a profession! It's a dirty job! I dont care how much you make from it, it's not a clean job,!

  • KK 1 day ago

    Did I mention anywhere in my post how much I make? You are feeling inferior because you Ghanaians think the moment you hear nursing in Europe or the US, then the person is rich. Nursing is a job of compassion & not necessaril ...

    So you were a teacher and ended up being a nurse in the US, so what ? There were teachers who ended up being professors, accountants, lawyers etc. in Ghana. That's no achievement and I honestly don't see how this helps an ign ...

    Being a doctor too can be described as dirty but surely a noble job that gives you food to eat. We all have to do a dirty job from time to time including cleaning our homes in order to make it clean. If a nurse helps me to cl ...

    She is not an idiot. Her main reason for dropping out of school was that she had nobody to help her financially. How do you school while starving? Those of you who finished schooling who are insulting her, were you working to ...

  • KK 1 day ago

    And you think 20 pounds an hour is a lot of money by UK standard taking into consideration the cost of rent & living? She can make twice what you make in a month if she is focus & determine with well tailored plan.

    All they care about is property! They measure everything by your properties.

    If everyone should decide to go and sell so that they can own properties, who will be teaching in the classroom?

    By your stupidity we can also tell where you come from. What is the sense in that statement you made? Can you make your submission without bringing tribal sentiments. If you care to know those people who you think don’t go ...

    Why the sweat? The writer never mentioned where the seller is from or belongs. Your response is a classic case of "old woman becoming uneasy when hard bones are mentioned". I don't know what your problem is.

  • KK 1 day ago

    If everybody is a teacher, who will be selling for you to buy food to eat? Respect her decision if that is what she want. After all teachers are not paid for months in Ghana.

  • Matha 1 day ago

    @kk
    Are you that stupid! Where did yiu hear teachers are not paid for months? By the way nursing is a dirty job if you care to know.

  • Citizen8 1 day ago

    Getting yourself educated and selling plantain can't and mustn't be mutually exclusive. This same lady expects a teacher to teach her children. Life isn't only about building houses and owning other properties.

  • Kay 1 day ago

    It's called "delayed gratification". Go through difficulties and enjoy later, or enjoy now and go through difficulties later?

    What is the job security in selling plantain?
