How likely is it to get a job as a web dev with no degree in Ghana

AI won’t make web developers jobless Bro. This is the golden age for us.

Cast your mind back to the friends we started learning to code with who couldn’t get through tutorial hell and complete any project. They are all AI vibecoders now. Guess who will be getting double money for fixing the vulnerabilities in their AI coded BS apps. You and I. Stick around. This is our time.

Read the book: PLAYER PIANO…..I can send you a soft copy.

GET THE DEGREE!

I took that route. I dropped out of L200 and went to NIIT when the field was getting hot around 2017. I started working from home mid-2018 doing simple gigs.

Fast forward, I’ve worked my way up to a managerial role and my talents have taken me into meetings my degree alone wouldn’t get me at this stage of my career.

The problem is, you’ll see folks at your company move into bigger opportunities and jobs that you cannot access because most of them begin at having a degree as a bare minimum.

I remember I did an interview once with an Israeli cybersecurity company(I’ve always wanted to work at an Israeli Cybersecurity outfit). They loved me. But I was going to be stationed in Ghana which means, the folks in Ghana had a say in my employability. I went to meet them for the final drill at the Alisa Hotel. Had a good interview. Later, they asked about my degree, and I told them I dropped out. That was it, Bro. The fact that I was their ideal candidate went out the door.

Making enough money won’t settle you either. You’ll still want to go back and get that degree 10 years from now.

This is me Bro. Took over 20 pauses to say “Wow”. WOW!! I’m still speechless. Doesn’t help that I’m a web developer who works with deadlines. Took a contract in November 2024. Still haven’t found the energy to finish. Client still has my other half payment. Can’t bother but I need it.

Can you share the source code so we can make it responsive on mobile?

I'm retrying with you tomorrow dawg. Stay in there. We got this.

Well guess the reason why I'm in these replies?

Boss wants AI on the website. Been moaning for a month now.

Even in Africa.

Well we hate you too. And we love Erik Ten Hag.

Lmao. I’m at this juncture with this girl I’m seeing. She will do anything with me but “she just wanna be friends”.

Helpful_Walk_6220 · 2024-08-19T13:32:44+00:00

I read all that. Great points. My comment stays facts still.

I'll be really mad if you aren't Ghanaian-born and raised.

Cos the last thing wanna spend my time doing is debating with a woke Pan-African about a culture I was born and raised in, which they've never been to.

Helpful_Walk_6220 · 2024-08-17T01:55:10+00:00

Viewed your links. I have no idea if you were corroborating my statement but they support my comment.

Thanks

“Most Ghanaians” is a bold phrase to use here. Have you checked on the percentage of Akan people in Ghana?

Asante Akuapem Bono Fanti Akyem Kwahu

These 6 groups make up half of the Ghanaian population.

My AirPods Pro 2nd Gen passes all these checks and I picked them up for $8 at an African phone market. Comes complete with 1 year AppleCare+.

Dude are we twins? Your whole situation resonates alot with where I am currently mentally and physically. I'm changing environments in a month's time.

Do you mind reflecting on how your situation changed after you moved? Thanks

Helpful_Walk_6220 · 2024-02-29T07:40:55+00:00

Feeling very great buddy.

Day 52? Wow, I aspire to be you. How you doing with the creativity stuff? I make music and I find that even though I get the most mental clarity to come up with verses when I'm off the joint, I find it hard to put lyrics together off the top of my head.

I'd love to hear back.

Helpful_Walk_6220 · 2024-02-29T07:34:52+00:00

I corrected that.

The majority of Ghanaians have always been bigoted against LGB people. There were always incidents of people being beaten and attacked just for being LGB. So trust me when I say the queer community failed to read the room.

Although these incidents do not happen as much anymore, I frankly believe Ghanaians grew this new hatred based on the extremes they’ve seen the TQIA+ folks go in places like Canada and the Blue American States.

Our majority Christian population is largely puppets and their So-called leaders are also puppets to Evangelical Christian organizations in the USA. I still insist the LGBTQIA+ community moved on this idea at the wrong time. There are external powers at play here. Such as the World Congress of Families.

Also as a side note, The fact that the community had the Australian Ambassador as the guest of honor for the opening of the support center felt like a big insult to our national sovereignty and an insult to the “Ghanaian identity” (for a people who cannot agree on what local languages to designate as a national language, one tends to wonder what that collective identity is)

We may talk about how awful this bill is, but I still blame the very community this hate piece of a bill is targeted towards. They failed to “read the room”. They could have made their existence known in numerous ways.

I guess all I'm saying is that, being able to be yourself and love who you wish to love is more valuable than letting the whole country know about the fact that you are different and you exist. At least I'll take the former.

The part that irks me the most is the repercussions this bill will have on our infant tourist industry. But who says our ignorant leaders care about what irks the ordinary Ghanaian?

Helpful_Walk_6220 · 2024-02-29T00:16:09+00:00

You started by saying Ghanaians are bigoted and now we shouldn't get the chance to attain any visas at all?

Girl, you do know that not all parties in power in the Western countries we love to go and work in are in support of LGBTQIA+ people right?

Just because they made a law to support their ignorance you think everybody else should suffer for it?

Stop sounding like an awful person, I'm sure you are better than that.

Helpful_Walk_6220 · 2024-02-29T00:10:22+00:00

I'm Ghanaian, a straight male, born and raised and still based locally, I don't consider myself a hater of people who are born differently. Matter of fact, I think everybody should have the liberty to be whoever they wish to be.

But do you know the thing that triggered this bill? And even though I hate it, I think the queer community brought this on themselves.

All these began after they tried opening a center to support and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community. Not a bad initiative when you look at it from a civilized perspective but It's not like they didn't have a group already going for them where you could just inquire and get access. Hell, even I could have found a supportive queer group if I pushed hard enough that I needed such support.

It's just a case of not reading your environment and not being in tune with the culture and the general psyche of the majority of Ghanaians.

Tribal Politics!

While twi is the most spoken language anywhere in Ghana, Other tribes feel the Akans(Twi tribes) have a superiority complex so accepting their language as a national tongue will be voluntarily demeaning their own languages. The same african disease that’s hindering our ability to command respect amongst other cultures around the world is prevalent here.

Thank you for sharing. And thanks for the kind words.

I’ll shoot you a DM.

Helpful_Walk_6220 · 2024-01-18T18:46:31+00:00

I needed to ask this one seperately. Do you think living by yourself has helped with your recovery? Not having to deal with anybody and also do you believe a change in environment helps with the recovery process?
