What have you been working on since graduating from LUMS? I’ve been a media professional working in print, broadcast and now film. I actually tried on a bunch of hats while I was still at LUMS interning everywhere really except for banks, because I just don’t get numbers (true to a SS stereotype) to test how far my Social Sciences education would go.
