Take two!

Thank you to Nick for bringing this subject as part of the IndieWeb Carnival initiative in June.

Since a few years ago, I’ve been wondering if studying Mechatronic engineering was the right decision. My professional career began more than 7 years ago with software development and has lately expanded to mobile development. I found happiness and enjoyment developing apps.

Reflecting on my university experience, I realize how specialized my learning was in mathematics, physics, and electronics. A considerable amount of this knowledge has never been applied in my professional career. Most likely, there was a waste of time and effort.

I’m not sure if this was the worst decision I’ve made. However, that decision is what brought me to where I am now. The uncertainty of not knowing whether that other path would have led me to a better or worse situation.

I’m actually very happy right now. Life has led me here. There is no checkpoint to return to the past and change decisions. Only one thing remains: keep moving forward.

I often wonder what would happen if software engineering was chosen instead of mechatronic engineering. Unfortunately, I will not have a concise response.
