Understand there are hundreds of ways to reach your end goal – so don’t be disheartened if you face a roadblock along the way. Keep researching and keep soldiering on as this hard work and determination will definitely be realised.
An engineering degree is the foundation to this role, however much of the hands-on learnings allow me to apply and build on the academic learnings of university.
