“Teaching in Ghana was ok. There were some renowned parents whose children were attending Yaa Asantewaa Girls, so I made some money through extra classes, vacation classes, and my monthly salary. I was a teacher in Ghana for seven years.”

Jerry said on SVTV Africa that he travelled to America for greener pastures.

“I travelled for greener pastures because even though we had money to for our necessities, some things were lacking. My wife and I won the US lottery.”

From teacher in Ghana to nurse in US

Jerry, who now lives in New York and works as a nurse, said they changed their career route when they got to America.
