A
young
Ghanaian
man,
known
on
TikTok
as
Ben,
has
taken
to
social
media
to
proudly
share
his
job
as
a
“trotro
mate,”
whose
daily
income
is
higher
than
that
of
many
peers
in
other
professions.
In
a
video
posted
on
TikTok
and
spotted
by
GhPage,
Ben
revealed
he
makes
a
minimum
of
GHS
200
a
day
from
his
work
as
a
conductor
on
Ghana’s
commercial
buses.
Displaying
GHS
260
in
cash
from
a
single
day’s
earnings,
he
challenged
the
common
perception
of
the
job
and
emphasised
how
it
allows
him
to
live
comfortably
and
support
himself
independently.

In
his
own
words;
“I
heard
someone
asking
in
the
media
which
job
pays
a
daily
wage
of
GH¢200
a
day,
well
look
at
this
money,
It’s
GH¢260.
This
is
how
much
I
earned
from
working
as
a
mate
today,”
Ben’s
video
has
sparked
conversation
on
social
media,
as
many
viewers
have
expressed
surprise
at
the
high
earnings
he
claims
from
this
role,
which
is
often
perceived
as
financially
modest.
