I chose this course, thinking that I wanted to keep my options as open as possible for my later life. My law studies, together with those of the fiscal college, have led me to start my real professional career at KPMG in Antwerp at the request of my fiscal law professor.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At KPMG I learned an incredible amount about the ins and outs of business.

I succeeded in becoming an auditor at the age of 26.
