What do you do for a living?
- I am an estate agent at Skandiamäklarna in Linköping and I am very happy there. It is a stimulating working environment with very fun working tasks. Considering the fact that I have wanted to be an estate agent since I was 15 years old, this feels like a dream come true.
Why did you choose the real estate programme?
- Since I was certain of what I wanted to work with at an early age means I also had a very clear plan.
