I tried to get my one kid to do business marketing as opposed to media studies and publishing. Take a minor in publishing. My thought was the flexibility of a business degree would allow a path towards a CPA or if they land in publishing the marketing would be a very complementary pair. Lots of off shoot jobs could lean on it.
University can lead to a lot of debt in Canada too
Hi. My kids went to university in Ontario. Graduated 2 years ago. One engineering. One media and publishing.
My son had amazing high school grades. He had early admission to every program he applied to. Scholarship offers too. He picked a school based on employability and coop. He went to a program that the school specialized in. Some engineering programs have a general first year with program selection following that. While others have a direct entry to their selected program. Difference being if his grades tanked he would lose his ability to get top pick. Then the support they offered for coops. Some said they had coops but very little staffing, other had a building dedicated to it. Engineering and nursing have structured programs. So many hours of a subject as a requirement. The school reserves placement for them. Open degrees are a free for all.
My other child did the arts thing. Her program was so over booked she didn’t get any courses in her major the first 3 semesters. But she still had to take courses. Waste of money in my mind. The last year was a grind getting all her credits for her major. Work experience was also hard to get in her field. No support from her school.
A friend of an ours went to Trent. Economics. He had great grades and took the full ride scholarship they offer. He’s making really good money now even though people bash on the school.
Go to a school for a career. Plan for some versatility in employment. CPA Accountants can work anywhere where as nurses have limited employers- government.
Watch out for rent availability. Lot of colleges are packing in the students and rooms aren’t available. Universities aren’t as bad for this but one college can soak up all the free rooms. Waterloo is a great example of this. 2 universities and 1 college there. The college doubled their enrolment. Now things are a struggle.
Look at commute times. You can’t afford to spend hours on a bus or 2. No time to study.
Feel free to message me if you want to talk.
That’s exactly my point. Between the two choices available Harris is the only choice. A split vote will favour Trump who will enact more genocide
No they don’t. And how they were elected Hamas baffles my mind. People need to stand up to their governments rather than run away or cower to them.
Aren’t there still hostages held by hamas
What are they doing with them. Are they sending them back to Ukraine Do they have logistical support for the invasion.
Once the government changes policy will change too
