When did you know it was Maths? - Kate Wenqi

"Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone."
Not every mathematical epiphany, the moment when you decide you love maths, happens when you are young. In our second 'When did you know it was Maths' film, Kate Wenqi describes how she left maths for a career in finance, only to return when the stress was becoming too much.

Being stressed and wanting to cry when coming home from Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan sounds about right

[@aaabbb-py5xd]

"Goldman and JP Morgan are trash" sounds about right.

her family is rich， this life is not for normal people

[@ichael5844]

But being rich doesnt make you genius no

[@gold9994]

@@ichael5844 Yes, but it helped you rediscover yourself.
Have u ever wondered why those world class pianists, violinists came from rich families.

[@yaacheese8643]

​@ichael5844 Genius? Everyone can study anything if they have an interest and time and money, but guess what. Rarely do people have all 3 at one time.

Random comment on a video that has nothing to do with what you said

[@ILoveMaths07]

So you want women to learn nothing, not contribute to society, sit at home and just feed your belly?
