you boss. $$$$$ :fuckyea:

Haha thanks. I just started this position a couple months ago.

Oddly enough, it's about 70% finance/accounting/management and 30% engineering.. even though I have little to no experience in the finance area. But really it's just simple paper work and budgeting..

First job: mcdanks in the back where the action took place (man'd the grill)

Finishing degree now though

What's your educational background, UBC? Degree?

No degree, no UBC. If I did Engineering at UBC I wouldn't be graduated until I'm 23-26.

Originally I wanted to work in the music industry, but my mom being Chinese, and my dad being half Chinese, you could imagine how that went over.

So basically I just researched the highest salary with the most available job market, and found a 2-year Engineering program at BCIT. They had a waitlist, so I spent a year at SFU studying general math and physics and transferred my credits to BCIT. After finishing the program, I ended up with a couple Certificates, a Diploma, and a job with great pay.

I really did not care what the program was or what I was doing. I just needed a high-paying job to put myself through music school and fund this expensive hobby. Then when I graduated, one thing led to another.. And after some negotiations with the company, I fell into this position.

It is kind of odd, because ~80% of graduates from this program end up doing shift work at mills, power plants, oil refineries, etc. But I ended up with an office day job. :fullofwin: Given that, the people working in those environments probably make more than me.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the program as I don't wanna clutter this thread.

Wow, impressive I must say. Props to u for finding such a higher-end position with so little schooling and without a degree even at a such an age. This just comes to show how people with degrees dont always dominate in the market. You must be one heck of an outgoing fellow. I am inspired.
