You're sick of your degree, or you're a high school student
thinking about your future. Well, Mariya and Nat sit down with
four people who've all grappled with the same question!


 


- Rani Jiang, who ditched Information Systems to study computer
science ️;


- Teresa Feng, who started in Computer Engineering but graduated
with a compsci degree ;


- Raymond Wan, who came back after graduating to start a new path
in physics ️ ; and


- Issac Norris (Izzy), who skipped uni entirely and went straight
into industry!


 


You're asking - maybe they'll have the answer for you!!!
