After graduating with an Economics degree, I was keen to create a start-up. Unfortunately, the rigidly logical approach I initially took wasn't helpful. Perhaps it was symptomatic of studying economics. I began to 'think on my feet' more as I got good at networking and listening. As I began to suss out demand, I realised that I would always be hampered by my limited coding ability. I had a friend who was doing the coding for our team, and as he went for a PhD, he encouraged me to go for a MSc. So I did! Long story short. I'm studying CompSci and got in largely because of the late-night coding I was doing on the side of my regular job.
