      I properly decided when I was about 13. I went through a lot of different ideas before then (including archaeologist and doctor!) It wasn’t for a while after that until I decided what type of engineer I wanted to do, I even did one degree (Aeronautics and Astronautics) and then changed my mind to Biomedical Engineering! I was 20 when I made that decision.

      When I was 20 years old and in university. I did have a career change when I was 25 and then decided again at 28 engineering was definitely for me!

      I decided to be an Engineer when I was about 14, but I wasn’t sure which degree I wanted to do, so for University I applied for both Biomedical Engineering and Electronics Engineering. At the end chose Biomedical 🙂

      But looking back from a very early age, I always loved my lego.

      Also I remember being about 7 and discovering what screw drivers were for….I then took apart all my toys to see how they worked 😉
