Posted via RS Mobile | 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.

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

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 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 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.
