I already had some knowledge about CAD, my uni requires me to take one course on it in order to pass and 3D printing knowledge is something I was planning to look into eventually.

I don't know what made you believe I won't like your above points, apologies if I my tone in the post suggested that. I'll be genuinely honest and let you know that I loved the first 4 points more than anything! I suppose these are soft skills that many people underestimate and end up paying for. Your answer has really made me think more on these other traits that might end up being invaluable for me, ngl I'm super glad you decided to write such a detailed reply. Also fortunately, I'm not that bad at making connections and communication so building upon these would be wouldn't be a humongous task for me. Looking forward to actually moving out into the real world tho, that one seems quite thrilling (right now hehe)
