Life beyond Radford
Shayan Shahid
What does life look for you now?
I'm currently living up in Sydney, having moved here after uni. I'm working for a large consultancy firm, providing consulting services for government and financial services institutions.
Tell us what you are passionate about?
I love travelling,
What is your favourite Radford moment?
It's hard to go past year 9 camp. I distinctly remember hating it at the start, especially after we got lost on day 2 and missed our food drop! But it was definitely one of the best experience I have done. Year 12 review was another highlight.
How easy was it to decide what to do in life?
It was fairly easy for me to decide on what I wanted to do after school, and I have my year 11 maths teacher to thank for that. He was an actuary in a previous life before going into teaching and recommended I look into it.
Did your further study or career go exactly as you'd planned?
There have been ups and downs, and several instances of second guessing my choices, but I'm pretty happy with where I've ended up.
What advice do you have for current students?
School isn't the be all and end all. Take your time to have fun.
