The Reality of Becoming an Engineer | Live Podcast | University of Dundee

Josh sat down at the University of Dundee for a live podcast in front of students to hear Reese’s story and it’s not the typical engineering path.


From leaving school with no qualifications, working at McDonald’s, and going through college, to eventually breaking into university and now working as a Project Engineer in subsea engineering, this conversation is about what it really takes when things don’t go to plan.


We talk about failing exams, repeating years, paying for extra support just to get through university, and what it actually feels like to see others progress while you’re still trying to catch up.


Reese also shares honest advice on internships, breaking into industry, dealing with rejection, and why university doesn’t always prepare you for the real world of engineering.


If you’re a student who feels behind, unsure of your path, or questioning whether you’ll “make it”, this episode is for you.
