A Ghanaian man has got people talking after choosing between a first-class degree and a vast sum of money.

When asked by a content creator what his choice between the prestigious university certificate and $1 million and an equivalent of GH¢14.6 million would be, he outrightly rejected the money and chose the first-class.

He argued that while the money may seem like a big deal now, the first-class degree could offer him more later in life.

He noted that the money may lose its value in some years to come, but the first class would allow him to receive more than GH¢14.6 million.

"I will choose a First-Class degree over $1 million because it will give you more than $1 million. Unlike $1 million, which will depreciate over the next 20 to 40 years, a First-Class degree will provide you with more job opportunities, greater insights into life, and intellectual empowerment," he noted.
