REASONS WHY DEGREE HOLDERS ARE POOR?  BASICALLY, there are seven reasons why degree holders are poor. 1. THEY DON’T THINK BEYOND THEIR CERTIFICATES Albert Einstein said, “Education i s not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” Have you ever heard the creativity term “Think outside the box”? One of the major reasons why most graduates are poor is simply because they can’t see and think beyond their certificates.  I have seen engineering students work as bankers. I have seen medical doctors with great skills in web and graphic designs. I have seen lawyers that are very dexterous with finances. The list is endless! The basic truth of life is that the skills that are needed to be much sought after and become more successful in life are not really found within the walls of the classrooms. Your certificate is just a proof that you are teachable, it does not suggest what you are totally capable of doing. You are full of possibilities when you think beyond yo...

Teachers the enemy of Teachers...... I have, over the years, observed with keen interest and curiosity the activities and operations of the Teachers Mutual Fund* and it is not serving the ordinary teacher any good. I am meticulous with the use of ordinary because I detest to the highest order the careless use of the word poor on the Ghanaian teacher .  Every service the Fund provides for the Ghanaian teacher is seemingly virulent and intended to milk the teacher dry of the little salary he/she makes. For instance, Teachers Fund will come to teachers with their Credit Mall guys and sell ordinary Home Theatre that sells on the market for *GH ¢1,200.00  for a whopping  *GH¢3,800 to GH¢4,000.00* This is an act of wickedness and insensitivity to the plight of the very people who set up the Fund.  The least said about the Mutual Fund Loans the better. Imagine the teacher going for a Habitat Loan of *GH¢30,000.00 which comes with a monthly deduction of *GH¢805.00  (I s...
