She noted that she took the course for four years, plus a strike and COVID-19 break, for a total of five years.
Her words:
“If I had known it’s zobo I’d end up selling, I’d have not wasted 5 years of my life in LASU. 4 years taking the course, 1 year struggling with strike, including corona holiday. I'd have just started this thing since.”

"I really don’t feel bad that I’m doing something different from what I studied in school. My degree a waste not at all. Being enlightened gives you a different outlook on life and handling life. There are skills that I learnt from school that are transferable to life and they can be applied anywhere, all the grit we learnt from school, communication, problem solving, critical thinking, and all other soft skills can be applied in business.
"With all the connections, learning with people from different backgrounds, doing projects, time management, resilience, the university changes you, makes you strong and if you’re smart you know that no degree is a waste."
