A youth entrepreneur and alumnus of the University of Ghana who sells bottled and sachet water to make a living has inspired netizens with a post he shared online.

Mushroompreneur who graduated from the University of Ghana in 2017 disclosed that he sells packaged water.

Unlike most graduates who complete their programmes at the university only to depend on the government for employment, Mushroompreneur is making a living by selling bottled and sachet water.
