Congratulations Emma!
I am 30 and am back at uni studying my second degree.
I've been an artist, worked as a executive assistant, a project officer and even momentarily dabbled in child care.
It's important for women in particular to break those societal norms - not just having more women in STEM roles, but to show others it's okay to not follow the invisible rules and guidelines set out for us by society.
All the best!
Wow that's so impressive! Thanks for sharing your experiences. It definitely gives me confidence when other people tell me they've jumped around a lot too😄
Neat ! Peter Roget, of Thesaurus fame invented the Log-Log scale on slide rules for determining routs and powers. At first glance an 'Humanities' to 'STEM' crossover; but on digging deeper, he started off as a physician !
Squiggly career means uncertainty and Coleridge says imagination is precisely uncertain, the mind wavering between two objects. When it fixes on one, then it becomes understanding. Someone oscillating between tech and Eng Lit does call the imagination into play. Did you ever watch The Ascent of Man series written and presented by Brunowski, a scientist who wrote a monograph about Blake. He presents the idea that scientific leaps forward are underpinned by imaginative thought. So, in this sense your originary degree is not that different from tech entrepreneurs inventing new devices. By which I mean the writers worth studying are those that make it new and have something original to say.

Sounds really exciting!! I’m getting to that stage at uni where careers are mentioned every other second so it’s great hearing from a graduate sharing their journey. Also love the squiggly career thing, I imagine I might have one of those 😅
Oooh best of luck with uni/career things! Lots of exciting things ahead🤗🤗
Congratulations from a fellow girly in tech! I'm excited to see some videos on your new role in tech 😊
Thank you so much!! So excited to be entering into the world of tech🤓👩💻
Must confess I didn’t see this coming but all the very best in the tech world and your new career direction. Definitely interested to hear how it goes. Ultimately I’m sure you’ll be successful in whatever you decide to do.
This has been the general reaction from most people around me and then when I explain the role itself and the skills needed and how I got to the decision it usually makes a bit more sense haha... Hopefully I can document my transition and it might explain things a little better😅😅
Love this! It takes confidence to transition to a new path. Best of luck!
Thank you so much!!😊😊
Hi girl! I am very very happy for you and for your new career path. I am a data analyst, I studied Computer Science and I have a master's degree in Data Science. It's a tough sector: it's constantly evolving, with so much to learn every day and where there's so much to see. Thanks to my job, however, I travel a lot, I see different realities, I learn the processes! I've seen how banks and telco companies work, the luxury industry, retail companies... it will all be extremely educational! But be prepared for very hard moments too, where you will wonder if the choice you have decided to make is correct, you will have moments of discouragement where you will see many people doing things in 1 hour while it will take you 10. But it will pay off.
I'm very happy for you! I'm sure you will do an amazing job! xoxo
That's good stuff. Wishing you the best of luck and endeavours in the future! ☺️💙
Thank you so much!!😊😊
At the first glance I would call it a surprising U-turn. But not fully surprised although I have only a vague idea, what the new job field looks like. Whatever you do, do it with the same passion and consistency as you do your vlogging.
Wish you all the best on your new path and a lot of fullfilling moments in and out your career.
Yes, it does seem unexpected! But the role itself combines all of my interests (customer-focused, commercially driven, innovative, fast-paced, future-thinking, agile, etc) and plays into the things I think I'm good at (like staying organised, managing stakeholders, problem solving, communicating well, etc). Hopefully it'll be a good fit!🤓
I feel the same passion for STEM, although my background is in communication and marketing. I am just amazed at the confidence you have. It is so inspiring. Normally I would have doubts about someone being competent in product management without being a tech person. But knowing the hard work you can do (from your previous university videos), I am sure you will do a great job. I think it is wonderful for tech people to have humanities graduates with them.
Aww thank you! If that's what you're passionate about, go for it and believe in yourself more🤗 Honestly, so many hiring managers said to me they like a mix of stem and humanities graduates in their team because they bring different skills and experiences to the table and bring out the best in each other
Congratulations on plucking up the courage to make the change. Success is a squiggly line.
Good luck!
Thank you!! I'm all for the squiggly career🤗
Congratulations on the big switch!! Wishing you the best in this new chapter!! 🤍🤍🤩🤩
Would love a video on your transition to the tech world!
Thank you so much!! I can't wait to get started📱💻
Good luck Emma in your future scheme 💪💪
Thank you so much!😃
Actually, you don't need a degree for software engineer.
Hello! I would like to see more videos about you switching the career path! I'm from Russia and there is quite hard for me to find a job where you can choose to switch the career parth. I've graduated from pr relations (there is no opportunity here to change path during uni degree :((()and work as IT consult in frontend sphere but it is still quite hard to find a full-time job as a frontend developer. So i chose the oposite - the second degree in CS.
So it would be really interesting and motivational for me how you become a specialist in tech sphere even without a degree*-*
I'd really love to do more content on my career journey and switching over! I didn't realise how often people switch careers and that it was even possible so would've enjoyed content like that myself when I first started this journey. Plus I like to keep it real on here and show everyone it's okay to change your mind and not know what you want to do (it's so common but people rarely talk about it!!)😊😊
Congratulations Emma, your soul searching is well explained and outlined. The new role sounds interesting so yes please share your journey and insights. Excited for you. Best wishes for your bright future. 👍❤️
Thank you so much! So kind of you. I definitely think it'll be interesting and challenging but I'm up for the challenge and very eager to be in a job where I'm learning new things all the time and gaining new skills😄😄
lol this story is WAAAYYY less dramatic than the title suggests :D good luck in the new role!
Got to love the clickbait😜
yh i wanna see ur journey. i like ur stuff. good luck ye
Definitely hoping to document it so stay tuned!!🤗🤗
I haven’t watched this yet but I just want to say that your makeup looks impeccable! It suits you perfectly. I myself am absolutely clueless when it comes to makeup unfortunately.
Okay I’ve watched it now-good luck! I’m sure you’ll do great.
Aww thank you so much! That's so kind of you. It's literally my quick, everyday, go-to makeup routine😅
I have had a very squiggly career so far - way, WAY squigglier than your current squiggle! - and I would highly recommend it to everyone. My life has been infinitely richer as a result :) I hope you enjoy your new path.
I'm glad you have positive things to say on the squiggly career! I'm really excited about it. I'm definitely leaning on my different learnings and experiences so far and seeing them as strengths that I can bring to my new role to offer a fresh/alternative perspective🤔💭
What watch you are wearing? It's nice
Olivia Burton! They're my favourites🌸🌼
Congratulations Emma! Tech world has its own unique challenges but I believe you will be successful! 💛💛😎😎
Thank you so much!! I'm so excited to begin this new adventure👩💻🤓
Welcome to the dark side (STEM) Emma, enjoy your stay!
Hahaha I've had this response quite a lot😂🤓
