The things we have learnt at college hasn't helped me in work at all except from soldering which is the only thing that has helped me so far in work. The math's hasn't helped with any of my work that I'm doing neither has electrical principles.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
