Top Legon graduate appeals for job on social media; Netizens react
Raymond Mawulorm Glikpo, a 2022 graduate of the University of Ghana, has taken to social media to appeal for employment. Glikpo, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences with a major in Food and Clothing, was also honored as the overall best-graduating student from the School of Agriculture.
Despite his academic excellence and distinguished performance, Glikpo has struggled to secure a job since completing his studies. In his heartfelt post, he detailed his qualifications and experiences, hoping to attract the attention of potential employers.
Glikpo’s plea has quickly gained traction, with many sharing it and expressing their support.
However, reactions from netizens have been mixed, reflecting broader concerns about the relevance of certain academic programs in the job market. Here are some of the responses:
@LeonardAnsah27
“There are some frivolous courses at the university that don’t guarantee work after graduation. Let’s all be mindful. This degree would have given the person a better job if it was outside.”
@FCBLeft
“Dey play, the degree is just a paper. The real university is the people you meet.”
@kobiconner
“The only reason why some of these courses exist is for increasing the revenue of the universities offering them. Otherwise, these courses are useless. There’s no demand for them in the economy.”
@owusu_bryt
“‘I must go to uni at all cost.’ Sometimes y’all enroll in some programs with no hopes of getting jobs after. I always advise my nieces and nephews, before you decide to enroll in a program, ask yourself if there’s a job market for the program!”
@Quadjo_Tabiri
“So when he was applying to this program, what did he think of doing with it after graduating??”
@Ekowsinno77
“Make I also post my certificate? Cos CGPA 3.83 paa wey Adey house dier hmmm.”
@nana_aning1
“We need to relook at some of the university courses.”
@fourthousandvy
“Carry go chop bar.. some courses people Dey offer diɛɛɛ smh.”
@yeboah_aky
“Family and Consumer Science?? Where’s the job market really?”
@kwesi_29
“Which sector is he expecting the job from? He should apply for a loan and travel.”
@slimzysarfo
“First class seff dey appeal my bro shy you. Unless pops do am for you o shy.”
@TigerKwaku
“Oh seriously? Can’t he start a clothes & food business?”
While some netizens have criticized the relevance of Glikpo’s degree, others have offered suggestions and expressed their support for his job search.
As his social media post continues to circulate, there is hope that Glikpo will soon find a position that matches his qualifications and aspirations.
