Advice is to be a good team (scan for smart & dedicated people in the set) so you won't have to pick up other's slack.
For people who have done Finman 2nd year is there a lot of team work/projects just like 1st year?

If you're taking audit then there is a group project at the end of the year. They also introduced some bullshit 2 week integrated course last year where you have to work with people from different sets. Not sure if they're going to have the integrated course again this year though.

this reminds me, need to finish student loans | good program but i wouldnt really recommend it because you'll almost have no chance finding a job as a cisco network admin. you'll prob end up doing something like being a systems admin with almost no networking practice. there are 10 windows admin jobs for every junior network admin job. people dont really like hiring network admins who have no experience.
if you get the chance, switch to the linux option if you take 2nd yr

Sounds like you just grad this June, are you also getting your Accounting Btech at BCIT?

i know its harder to get a job as a cisco netwokr admin, but looking for anything networking is good enough
as for experience i have no worries about that, b/c of the big ass project i get at the end of my last term

First month will fly by and then a cement truck is going to crush you with homework, projects, presentations, midterms, etc. Second term you have the big financial planning presentation to worry about.

i took the network option too and its not that i regret it, but the instructors make you think that everyone is going to get a network admin job, when the reality is, probably only 5% of the class actually did and the rest ended up in systems admin or similar jobs.
