After accomplishing this milestone, he aims to enrol for a masters qualification with the aim of becoming a Geotechnical Engineer.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by people such as his lecturer and fellow GIBB colleagues, Kalula encourages aspiring engineers to follow career paths that will bring them absolute fulfilment. \u201cYoung people should be passionate about both their studies and careers.
