Uni would teach me endless amounts of expertise, huge intellect and a lot of professionalism.

When I was done with that, I would feel very grown up and start a successful career.

That's roughly what I imagined a few years ago as the result of my studies.

It didn't quite work out, but I still learned a lot.

However, there are some things I would have liked to know earlier, so I would like to share the most important of them here.

Small spoiler - most of my learnings do not come from the lecture hall and maybe it gets a bit sentimental.
