CAPE - Testimonial - Property Valuation / Civil Construction - Charlie Le

Charlie Le

Don't give up - find what fuels your fire

“The journey never ends. As long as you feel that you're doing the right thing, then I think that's the right choice.”
Charlie Le - Bachelor of Property Valuation

Charlie Le’s parents wanted him to pursue a career in medicine or another traditionally ‘prestigious’ field at university.

Unfortunately, Charlie had no real love for what he was studying.

“Eventually, I discovered a passion and love for property,” Charlie says. “And that's when I decided, ‘You know what? I'm going start doing property valuation!’”

In his second year, Charlie was fortunate enough to get a graduate position at a leading bank.

“You have to really think about what you want, and don't be scared to make mistakes. You're going to have to make mistakes to find out what you want.”
