I don't regret university. I had an absolute blast and it does teach you to think and form your own opinions.

Even if it goes against the grain and ruffles some feathers.. As evident by the infamous 9/11 thread.





But as far as job prospects, trades is the clear winner.

Zero hot chicks go to college. The ones not smart enough to get into University go straight to the Pole...

this is precisely what i am talking about

I just think there are too many variables to say one way is better than the other.

For example, location and willingness to travel/move for your job. I have two close friends who decided to make career changes to become electricians. One stayed in London, ON area and is having a real hard time finding a company that will give decent hours. While the other went out East and did some work on oil rigs, and did quite well while doing it... then he also got laid off, and is now not doing any electrical work...

Even in my field, I know if I went to the States I could likely easily double to triple my current salary..but I have reasons that this does not appeal to me...

Well, no, but I should get an interview before you do.

Lies!!!

Surprisingly, chemistry has a good number of attractive females.

Either that, or my lab glasses are in need of a clean...

I purposely took psychology classes and film classes as my electives just to get away from the nerds in my comp sci classes.

I'm pretty sure that's his point. It's either University or the champagne room for hot chicks, no in between (vocational college).

Yes I enjoyed them too

but like Im trying to argue with Bruce is that, despite not starting my actual career as of yet, my education background has landed me a few promotions over the past year/two above people who had years of experience here with limited/no education...so even though the career Im striving for could still be another year/two away, im doing quite well while I wait because the skills I learnt in Uni are transferable...and this is coming from a guy who is telling many of his cousins to get into trades

Never managed to fit in a film class...rock and roll class had fatties, litterature mostly guys, and archaeology more than adequate ladies.

I hope I can get in that fashion class this Fall.

And my main program, geography, has some quality as well.

I blame Breaking Bad

I blame it for ruining shows like Dexter.

HEY!...oh, vodka, I thought you said beer...carry on.

ok ok ok.. i should clarify my position here

someone like you, who most likely analysed the job markets before deciding on your university direction would do quite well.

what gets me 10 ways from sunday is a person goes and majors in english lit and then steps out of university expecting to land a job making 150K a year

yeah... librarians dont get paid that.. oh.. and you're surprised nobody cares enough about you to make you a legitimate critic.. yeah.. sorry bout your luck.. go find some menial job to pay off your student loan and likely end up doing that for a large portion of your life.

there are so many examples of that in university.. it should be illegal.. cause highschools and post secondary institutions practically pitch what they sell on the fact you will end up with your dream job... when the guidance coming out of highschool should be how to analyse the work force, find a gap or area that is understaffed and choose your direction accordingly.

the employment marketplace is more important than following your dream.. sometimes a student needs to recognize that their dream isnt going to buy their home, or feed them, etc.

that is my issue with post secondary institutions. whereas with a trade.. you will make a comfortable living and be able to do so without putting yourself severely into debt.

the employment rate for trades schooling is far far far higher than that as the general post secondary graduate.

Have to correct you Dozz. The Head Librarian in Milton does make $150,000. Saw it with my own two eyes.
