It's better in Ghana

Back in early 2014 when I was excitedly awaiting word from Target about my job application, I stopped by a local Best Buy and struck up a conversation with the young salesman, asking if they were hiring. We got to talking, he was still in college, I gave him the usual “don’t major in design” lecture (he’s not), we talked about the bleak economy and he said that when he graduates he’s going to move to his father’s native country to find work. I asked what country was that. He said Ghana.

Wow. He has to move to Ghana for economic opportunities because America couldn’t offer any. 

I think that’s pretty fucked up.
