When you have to start work at 16 years old to contribute to the household budget, how do you avoid becoming trapped in low-income employment?
And how do you meaningfully re-enter the workplace as a young single mum?
In this episode of the Challenging University Podcast, IT channel legend Julie Simpson shares:
* The impact of her dad's death on her education and family circumstances
* How she carved out a rewarding career of her own choosing
* Why she and her husband sold their house to fund the creation of the business at a time when they had four children under the age of 12 between them
* The difference between being academic and being smart - and how she tests for this in interviews
* Tips for business founders on how to hand over the reins
Julie's story is one of resilience, confidence and being alert to opportunities.
