Why this Ghanaian University student chose First Class over $1m will shock you

A student of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has explained why he would choose a First Class in his studies over US$1 million dollars.

In a random on-campus interview by a content creator, the male student was asked about how his studies were progressing since the semester started.

The level-100 Procurement Chain Management said “there is pressure,” because only the second day into his studies, he got a zero in an unannounced quiz in African Studies.

Then came the question of a First Class or a million dollars.

Content creator: Between one million dollars and First Class, which one would you choose?

Student: One million dollars and First Class? I would take the First Class.

Content creator: Why?

Student: Because it (First Class) can earn me that one million dollars. The money doesn’t really give you satisfaction, when you have money, you behave someway……..” he added.
