Taken from Doja's post on MindSET Magazine's blog:
A few weeks ago, I told my story of how MindSET came to be, briefly mentioning that I am studying engineering but didn’t want to be an engineer, but obviously that makes no sense, so there’s no better place to start than from myself – where I began and how I got to where I am now.
The build up to my interest in engineering began while I was still in secondary school. My parents had been prepping me up to become a doctor (as they do), giving me some PhD-level book to read in my spare time to “enhance” my knowledge in something I had no interest in whatsoever. It wasn’t until they actually asked me what I wanted to be that it occurred to me; exactly what did I want to be? I knew what I liked; there was just no name for such a career.
As a child, I was curious about how electronic things worked; disassembling, “assembling” then taking back to Argos (with the receipt and a lie) to get a new one. So I told my parents I like electronics and would like to do something where I could build such things.
“Oh, you want to be an electronic engineer?”
Wait, what the hell is an engineer??!!!
