back to school
 

wow 2 more weeks to go, and it's already back to school. You guys returning students or starting a new course? :dizzy:

returning :okay: .....is it me or does the first semester of the year go really well and then after christmas break once you start 2nd semester everything goes down the shitter? ...last year i did really well first semester but 2nd semester i effed up. same thing happend in highschool

:fuuuuu: my brain can't take more school, good luck to you all!

Starting a second degree program at UBC. Government hiring freeze so my first degree somewhat not so useful right now.

Returning to school after 2 years of lab work... not excited to start hitting the books for the first time in a while.

Uh....I'm writing finals right now? Excited for my 2 week break!!

Same here, sucks to have a degree and it not opening doors you thought would be.

My summer break just started lol. Have no motivation for school yet I'm unemployed. Taking half a year off to figure out what I should take. I wish I didn't have no direction. Yet I don't want to step into school taking something I don't like/not what I really want. FML lol anyone been in my situation? :okay:

The first 2 years you're just taking any courses that interests you. You don't declare your major until your 3rd year anyways.

I recommend just going to Langara since they have one of the best transfer programs imo and they accept most ppl.

mee tooo dude :( i just finished my culinary programm.. not sure if i wanna still do it.. im just sitting here everyday thinking what should I take

Yep, I'll be going through the second year of CIT at BCIT this year. Still deciding whether I should follow up with a btech after or not...

School :fuckthatshit:? It'll be another year before I go back for level 2 Automotive Technician apprenticeship. Until then, it's all work for me.

all you need to be is 19 years old and do well on the LET test to get admitted to most classes :)

Lol, I haven't really stopped going to school. 1.5 more yrs to go and I should be done, I hope.

back to school? was never out of school

I'm actually excited for school. been working in and out of town all summer, made really good money and got offered a job to keep working without finishing my degree.. i was like f that see u next summer LOL:D

I had a double major in Political Science and Economics with a focus on South East Asian Development/Conflict Management but I wanted to work for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade - but no job postings this year, and CIDA wants Master's or equivalent (4-5 years of field experience minimum) for even entry-level positions...

I am going for the Bachelor of Computer Science (Integrated CS) second-degree program at UBC with a focus on GIS.

Excited for school to start back up :D Took summer semester off and volunteered in a research lab, realized that I really love what I'm doing. First year at school was a waste, but spring 2010 was my best semester ever, only way to top it is to do even better this semester :)


Btw, 3 months summer (almost 4), flew by way too fast.

I'm thinking about doing the same thing....I got my BA, worked for 6 years in my field then the economy crashed and work slowed drastically. I started doing residential property management which could not be further from my degree and my "career" job.

Now, I would really like to go back to school but I am almost gun-shy that the same thing will happen. I am still paying off my student loans from the first degree. I thought about going to BCIT to try and get something fast, but I wouldn't have time to work and therefore, could not afford it.

What I am doing now pays better than what I did for 6 years, but it is a little brainless. The plus is I make 60k+ and work at max 2-3 hours a day but I really don't feel like I am living up to my potential, but am scared to go back to university.

I should probably fail myself as I am sure most people would like to have this problem.

ugh.

Last two semesters of undergrad for me as well! After that is a different story.
