Wunderkind

„Wunderkind“ comes from the German language and means a person who achieves great success when relatively young.

This definition aptly describes most tech entrepreneurs these days, usually young, eager and success-driven. Trying to be break out of the “career building” mould of going through college and getting an education — preferably Masters degree or above — and then entering the workplace and building a career over decades to come.

This time tested career model worked for many years but it is slowly being replaced by “life long learning”. Education and skills of today could be obsolete in 5 years time or less.

Computer programming was the career choice of many at the turn of the century, today coding and becoming a data scientist are hot career tracks.

Constant and continuous learning are the only way forward in today’s highly competitive workplace and with the advent of artificial intelligence and robotics, it is going get even more challenging in the years to come.

Ambitious students entering colleges and universities realise the challenges ahead and all too many decide that it’s good to get a good education but even better to be independent and successful as an entrepreneur.
