Story #74
Q: How did you decide on your undergraduate course of study?
A: Because I was diploma holder in Bioelectronic in Singapore Polytechnic. To cut one year of studies in NTU, I need to select EEE in order for direct entry into second years.
Q: In retrospect, what did you think were the most useful lessons/ skills/ knowledge you'd gained from your undergraduate education?
A: Entrepreneur mindset. I took minor in entrepreneurship in NTU and co-found a student run cafe Pitchstop in university. It is the most useful lessons to me.
Q: How has your undergraduate education influenced your career choice?
A: Nothing from EEE but yes for my minor. I believe that your tertiary education should not be a limitation when you come to choose your career. It will be just another better option for you, not compulsory.
Q: Briefly describe your current job scope.
A: Running digital marketing agency Icecube.asia & a student portal DigitalSenior.sg. Doing sales & digital marketing consultation for clients.
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: More humanity and social aspects. More general education.
