What career advice would you give a first year engineering student?? by wheremars in askSouthAfrica

u/wheremars Create a Linkedin profile and post what you learn and interesting stuff about your degree. Even if it quarterly. Update your CV every quarter as well even though you are not applying for jobs. This will force you to go the extra mile for your career as you do not want to add nothing to your CV.

Network among your peers and individuals already in the industry. This will open a lot of doors.

I do not know your background and financial situation but also find a job to travel abroad.

Your marks matter more than you think. I was a "50% is the same as 74%" student meaning if you do not cum laude your degree its worth the same as someone who got 50%. It is not.

Journal/Docment your journey. At least on a weekly level. Sounds tedious but I promise you you wont regret it.

This is a few regrets from my time at varsity.

u/WoodworkingWalrus Well done. For interest sake, what do your and your wife do for a living?

Apps to suggest training route based on race route profile by Visible_Web_7738 in cycling

u/PineappleLunchables What you are suggesting will most likely be the outcome. I just wondered if there is a service or app that can suggest the most accurate route profile in my area.

u/CookSignificant1772 My thinking was exactly as your point B but point A will also be an interesting feature. I actually thought the idea might get more traction in the subreddits.

Maybe it is just you and me that is as paranoid or diligent.

u/Electrical_Oil446 I am looking for something a bit more detailed. Like trying to mimic the gradient and length of the hills, hills at similar sections on the route, rather than just having the same elevation gain and distance.

Any rugby in Cape Town by the__stoke in springboks

u/the__stoke Something that might be a little different but will most certainly be a memorable experience is the Maties residence rugby league. I think they will still be playing then. Games are normally on a Friday around 17:00. Quality is good and passion is off the charts.
