5:15 – 7:50 Why was I traveling for my work since before I even started my career?
In this section, I speak about how my initial career passion, and how I got to India. Initially, my passion was to work as an international student advisor. I was told I should study abroad to qualify for this job, but lacked the actual skill for this work that I had so much passion for, so my career took a bit of a detour, or so it seems, for sometime. While this detour may have deterred me, it was a critical stepping stone to getting back to what I really loved to do and wanted to do.
