If you don’t have any real passion for your subject, you’ll eventually run out motivation. You might struggle to attend lectures and complete assignments, and will feel generally miserable. Life’s too short to feel so down studying something you have no interest or passion in. In the long run, it’s better for your sanity to choose a subject you love to begin with. Same goes with when it comes to finding a graduate job!

You need to be realistic and try to think sooner rather than later about what career/s you’re interested in. Hone your skills in your field as much as possible, build contacts, look for work experience opportunities and internships to give you a taste of the working world.

And there’s still a shortage of women in technology – so if you’re a woman who really loves tech you should go for it. Don’t let anything hold you back
