In the summer of 2009, the now 36-year-old Arshia Bhageloe finished her degree in biomedical sciences at the university of amsterdam. “I remember that it was in the news a lot of the crisis was over, or the couches or standing, should continue to be. I didn’t mind doing it, but it had an impact on my baanopties.”
“Usually, you go after finishing my studies for a doctorate, doing research. But that might have responded, suddenly, a lot of students from all over the world, ten times as much as it was before the crisis. And it can be difficult to get through.”
‘For a long time for me to rest, that’
Seven months is a long time tried to Bhageloe to find something that is suited to its study. But then, when that didn’t work, she went to work in the sales department of a multinational company. “That wasn’t what I had in mind. It has taken a long time for me to rest was that I was not out in the field working and for which I was trained to do so.”
After a period of time when the multinational was able to find them at a large consulting firm. “I thought to myself, as I am really career want to make, then I have a different mindset to have. Seriously, get on it and let it go. You have to choose one of study, on the basis of your passion, and you want to change. And you don’t want anything to have had you in training. But I did not like it, you have to have a certain way of thinking, and that is the knowledge that you bring with you.”
“I’m pretty analytical, and it skills from my study, I also use it in the work that I do,” says Bhageloe. In the meantime, she is a program manager for an engineering firm. “I think that now I have more to earn than it is when I am in the biomedical field, it was left off. However, if you’re me, then it had to be asked, I would not be able to imagine any other work to do, he would be glad to get away.”
