Land of doctors, engineers, lawyers and pilots In my first professional job as a teacher, I decided to ask my pupils in basic 5 the kind of profession they would like to pursue. The responses I got wasn't different from the responses I got from other kids I've asked the same question. Most of the pupils wanted to become medical doctors, engineers, lawyers and pilots I have wondered for years why most Ghanaian kids would always want to become one of the above-mentioned professionals. I remember telling my mum I wanted to become an agriculturist as a young boy but my she wouldn't agree. I then decided to become a businessman. This was because my mum had asked me to study business at senior high school instead of the science I preferred.
