Life of a Computer Science Grad Student | Transition from Civil Engineering
from ItsKayToBeKaren Season 1 · host shruti_kx
In our conversation with Anthony Blower, whom we mostly know as Tony, has been working towards his Grad School education in Computer Science. What started off with a Civil Engineering Degree ended off as a Computer Science Degree program. With our discussion, we learn about how he went from Carpentry to then enrolling for his first degree in Civil Engineering to working for various companies across the West part of Canada to then pursuing his second degree in Computer Science. While working on them, he took his learning lessons from his first degree and then applied them to his second degree. His story is a story of rediscovering oneself and a living proof that one should never stop learning about what they truly feel passionate about. We hope that you enjoyed hearing about Tony’s eventful journey from his high school to where he has reached in life today.
