Soon, ifyoudidn't do a certainamountofinternships, couldn't graduate.
I did.
Thioprincessas a chemicalengineeronduringthe 1st 1 I didn't reallycarebecausethisisthefirstjob.
I washot, had a job.
Butduringthe 2nd 1 I reallystartedthinkingwhether I likewhat I wasdoingornoton.
I didn't reallyenjoyedthework I wasdoinganddidn't reallycareenoughabouttheconcept.
Andwhenstrokeyoubad.
Thisiswhat I couldbedoingaftergraduatinguniversityforlike, a longtime.
I juststartedgettingreallyscaredthinking, Okay, thisisnotwhat I wantedto, butatthesametime, I wasreallyconfusedbecausethereweresomanythoughtsinmymindwhat I couldbedoing.
I thoughtfinally, managementmaybebusinessorsomekindofothersortofengineering, but I wasn't.
Thatwasseton.
Whatisthat I couldbeinterestedin?
Becauseunlessyoutry, youdon't reallyknow.
Afterdoingthatinternship, I haven't tobe a livingat a residenceoncampusthatwasorientedtowardsentrepreneurship, and I'llbeseeing a lotofentrepreneurialventures.
Thereweretechrelated.
That's thewayitis.
Space.
And I wassurroundedby a lotofpeopleexcitedsoftwareengineering, computerscience.
And I thoughtstartupscenewasreallycoolontechnology, wascoolandsoldsomanydifferentproblemswiththat.
And I wasthinking, Oh, yeah, maybe I shouldgetintothestartupscene, but I wasneverthinkingthat I wouldgetintobutWorldas a programmer.
Becausetobehonest, I tookprogrammingclasses, thispartofmychemicalengineeringcurriculum, and I absolutelyhatedthemnow, lookingbackatitand I'm thinkingthatit's becausetheproblemsweresoldinwithworkinginthatloveandlikeworkingonsomeescalationfactoryand I justdidn't reallycareabout.
Butthensomeofthosefriends, softwareengineering, computerscience, majorfriendsthat I hadwerelike, No, youshouldtotallytrymaybetakinganonlinecourseincomputersignsandseeifyoulikeitornot.
And I wasalwaysfinding a lotofexcusesastowhy I wouldn't doit.
Butthen, attheendofthatsemester, I waslike, Okay, screw, letmejusttakeweptaboutHTMLCSSSuperLowbarrierandthreecourse.
Andsomeprogrammersactuallydon't evenconsiderit.
MeltedlanguagewasClaire, butanyway, I decidedtogoontocallAcademyandthatdevelopmentforceand I completediton.
Andthen I waslike, Okay, thisisactuallynotasbadas I thought.
So I coincidentalitagainhappenedtogotoGermanymorewholeyearonacademicexchangeafterconcludedthatsemester, theresidentsandthatdevelopmentithappenstobeaboutthechemicalengineeringcurriculuminGermanywasmuchlighterisatthechemicalengineeringcurriculuminCanada.
So I decidedthat I shouldjusttake a gambleandtryingtostart a softwareengineerandreallypart, andmygoalwastogotaninternshipas a softwareengineertoseewhetheractuallylikedit.
I foundthatit's youmightliketheforces, buttheworkthatyoudorealworld, myviewormostofthetimesisverydifferentfromtheacademicstudiesintheuniversity.
So I decidedtotake a gambleonstudy, reallyhardtotrytogetaninternshipwith a softwareengineer, andas a result, insteadofhavingfunandtravelingalloverEuropelike I wasexpectedwhen I wasgoinginexchange, I wasjustinthelibraryeverysingledayforourstudyingcomputers.
