Financial constraints were a constant challenge for the family, compelling Hyde to engage in various odd jobs to support his education.
He spent his evenings carting fish at Abola and Jamestown beaches and trapping crabs in the Korle Lagoon to earn money for school fees, uniforms, and books.
In 1949, he enrolled at Scriba Commercial, located in the central business area of Accra, under the mentorship of Chikuchaka Sungo Adjei.
In 1958, he passed the Intermediate exams of the Association of Certified and Corporate Accountants (ACCA) and completed Part III in 1959.
He played a key role in implementing several applications, including the Social Security and National Insurance Scheme in 1965.
He worked in various capacities at the University of Ghana,[7] Kumasi City Council Property and General Rates, Valco, and the State Housing Corporation.
Hyde entered politics by joining the Peoples National Party (PNP) and became the Parliamentary Candidate for the Okaikwei Constituency in 1979, where he was elected as their Member of Parliament (MP).
