Question: when did you know you wanted to do the job you are doing now

I never knew Health Data Science was a thing until my second year of my Master’s degree! So not very long, but that is okay as I am thoroughly enjoying it and really glad I took this leap into doing something different. I have expanded my skills so much more than I would have if I stayed in the department I was familiar with (Psychology). So, if you know what you want to do then that’s great, but I for one had no real idea, and just kept trying out new opportunities until I found something I was really passionate about 🙂
