“In 2013, I was earning about $60,000 yearly. As of now, I earn $85,000 each year. I’m into supply chain and logistics at a hospital. I work from home, so I log in and work when I wake up. I’m able to rest intermittently when I’m tired. I can go out and return to log in again. It’s flexible.”

The 35-year-old said one could do without a degree to get a well-paying job in America. He encouraged every Ghanaian coming to America to take an IT course before or after arriving there. Emmanuel added that he knows people are earning more than he does.
“I know someone who makes about $120,000 a year. He came from Ghana about four years ago. When he arrived, he took a course in IT and got a job. He works from home and makes good money. This guy I’m talking about doesn’t have a degree. He used to earn GH₵400 a month in Ghana.”
As a family, Emmanuel and his wife make about $18,000 each month after taxes. His wife is a nurse who makes $4,000 each week.
“My wife is a registered nurse. Each week, she is paid $4,000 after taxes. She works three days. This means we make almost $18,000 each month after taxes.”
Building properties and starting businesses in Ghana
Emmanuel, who left Ghana when he was 12, said people must live within their means; otherwise, the money they earn will never be enough.
When asked when he will consider investing in a business in Ghana or putting up a property, Emmanuel said he has one house in the Ashanti region.
He added that he would only start a business in Ghana when he has the time to supervise it himself. He would not want to leave his business in another person's hands because most people who do that are shortchanged.
