Ghanaian teacher becomes a care worker in the UK
However, when Piesie got to the UK, he switched careers. He moved from being a teacher to a care worker.
Piesie said he did not see the switch as a disappointment but rather as part of the process of achieving his aim/
“I haven’t regretted changing careers. I just take it as part of the process. I got tired with all the combinations of several jobs I was doing in Ghana to survive. I kept thinking about how I would start a family with GH¢1700 monthly salary.”
He indicated that the opportunities available in the UK give him enough room to become a better person than in Ghana.
“I knew I had to leave Ghana and I didn’t necessarily have to continue doing what I did in Ghana. The opportunities here are many and I can still continue my education in IT if I want to,” Piesie said.
Piesie said his life has improved tremendously since he relocated, and he urged others who want to travel to do so.
