1. Okay so you just finished graduate from University, now you working at a very cool and distinguished company, does that make you think that every minute of studying paid off or do you feel this is the stepping stone to your big career plan? Every minute of studying absolutely paid off. I’m so proud to be working at a place where your opinion counts and you earn enough (maybe not yet) money to be able to do the things you couldn’t do as a student, e.g. buy a BMW (ok second-hand but it still counts). You get to meet very interesting and diverse people.

At the moment feel like a glorified secretary. A high school student (ok I am exaggerating a grade one) could be employed to do the work I am doing and…. At a much lower cost.However we all know that after these 3 years the world is literally at our fingertips. So need “ to keep our eye on the prize”.

I think both apply equally, all my studying has paid off in the sense that I have accomplished some major goals such as getting the opportunity to do my articles for an established firm as E & Y, together with the fact that this opportunity can and will be used as a stepping stone for launching my career, in which ever way that may entail.
