If you had to fully support yourself aged 18, what would you do?
In this episode of university, challenged Liz Waugh describes how when her parents relocated abroad she decided to defer a university offer and simultaneously worked three jobs until she found her feet in the world of technology.
From starting out as a specialist in software asset management, Liz has forged an incredible career, taking on leadership roles that would eventually lead to her becoming Global Director of a large IT services organisation.
We talk about:
* navigating corporate life
* learning to own the fact you don't have a degree when everyone assumes that you do
* how important it is to have a supportive partner when combining a career with parenthood
Liz also shares her experiences of coaching a local U15’s female football team and how lateral thinking - and being real about money and lifestyle - helped her open up the world of tech careers to the players.
