Story #72
Q: How did you decide on your undergraduate course of study?
A: By eliminating subjects I'm not interested in. I came to a choice between Science or Engineering. Then it's another round of elimination by flipping through the career guide to read up on jobs I can expect to get with a science degree or an engineering degree.
Q: In retrospect, what did you think were the most useful lessons/ skills/ knowledge you'd gained from your undergraduate education?
A: Presentation skills. Ability to find the right books/websites to learn on my own.
Q: How has your undergraduate education influenced your career choice?
A: I didn't exactly "chose". Except for sales jobs which I know I'll be bad at, I applied for all the jobs which either needed an engineering degree or any university degree, and took the first one offered to me.
Q: Briefly describe your current job scope.
A: Drafting contracts.
Q: To what extent is your current job related to your undergraduate course of study?
A: Not related at all - Majority of the skills required to perform my current job was acquired through on-the-job training.
Q: What are some additional areas you wish your undergraduate education could have covered?
A: N.A.
