Due to financial constraints, Edward could not pursue his dream course and opted for a less expensive venture: nursing.
As a student nurse, he earned an allowance, but he stated in the Thrive In Africa podcast interview that it wasn't enough to cover his needs. He, thus, decided to pursue a venture that would earn him extra income.

Thankfully, an idea came to mind, and he ventured into farming, which could earn him additional income. Since then, he has gained extra income to supplement his income as a nurse.
He stated that with just GH¢700, he started a cassava farm, and within a few months, the money had quadrupled to GH¢4,000.
However, the farm did not last because a cousin he hired to care for it became unfaithful and collapsed the business.
He advised the youth to refrain from looking down on farming, which is very lucrative.
