I had always been interested in engineering since I was very young, and my family encouraged me to pursue it as a career. College has taught me so much, both in the field and in general. Having gained this qualification, I am now undertaking an apprenticeship in Civil Engineering and, after that, will hopefully go on to study for a degree.
