EP001 - Dealing with the challenges of moving from the DRC to South Africa to study and work-in engineering

\\n

In this episode, I speak to Eric Ilunga about his engineering journey. We talk about his experience from struggling to get a job in the Democratic Republic of Congo to the barriers he had to face in South Africa.

\\n

The other inspiring aspect of Eric's journey is how he eventually completed his degree, got a job in South Africa, and now works in the Czech republic. 

\\n

Eric's story is one of grit. There will always be challenges in pursuing an engineering career. The important thing is to persevere and push through the pain and challenges. 

\\n

I hope that this episode can inspire a student in the Democratic Republic of Congo to take up engineering as a career and never think about giving up.

\\n

I hope that this episode can inspire a South African student to take advantage of the many opportunities we have as South Africans. I hope that this South African student will realize how privileged they are, and there are zero excuses not to achieve your goals.
