A driven Ghanaian lady named Sandra Ankrah has recently opened up about life after graduating from the University of Professional Studies, Accra, with a first-class degree.
The post sighted by YEN.com.gh on Sandra's LinkedIn timeline reveals that she has had to resort to buying and selling locally-made shoes after her numerous attempts to land a corporate job after school were unsuccessful.
Sharing more about her journey, the first-class degree holder admitted that she was very hopeful that she would get a great job right after her national service, given her excellent academic performance, but that was unfortunately not the case.
"Prior to my service, I had been full of hope as I had studied hard to attain First Class honours and dreamt of a rewarding career that awaits me. You can imagine a First Class student who has graduated from the University of Professional Studies, Accra, with a CGPA of 3.76 and how enthused I was to be employed in the corporate world"

Here I am taking my usual buying and selling of locally made shoes to a next level at Ahofade ☺️ after several unsuccessful attempts to get into the corporate world"
