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.

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.

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

sorry, what degree did u initially have? and wat are u getting now?
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.

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

I went to UBC for a year for their Arts program, tried to transfer into their business program but no luck because one course fucked me up the asshole. Now, I'm going to Langara for a year because nothing in the UBC arts program (not even Economics, CompSci, etc..) really interests me. Trying to do my second year and get into UBC Business.

school is even cheaper in germany. i'm here right now for vacation and my cousin is goin to university for about $250 a semester LOL. they said that if your family's income is not so good, the government here will just give you money to go to school. and if you do student loans, they really dont care when you pay it back. i found it cool that they treat the students here so nicely. but we live in vancouver so just gotta roll with it!
anyways, i'll be startin first year at sfu in the faculty of environment. kind of interesting and i think it'll be useful in the very near future.
