Former barista Antony Manjali decided to change his career in lockdown and is now studying civil engineering at Witt. A New Plymouth barista who spent the Covid-19 lockdown researching how to change careers has quit his job and gone back to study. Antony Manjali has spent 15 years managing bars and restaurants and the past year-and-a-half memorising engineers’ coffee orders at Escape Coffee. Now he’s on a path to becoming one studying a NZ diploma of engineering (civil). “We had more time in hand to think about what we wanted to do and it was just the perfect time to change,” he said.
