Fuck College

[Cops]

the biggest thing i've taken away from this thread is that way too many people worry way too much about college. furthering your education, if you choose to do so, should be an experience, not a pile of anxiety and stress.

if there is a system that is stress free I'd like to here about it :]. I'm actually at a semi-good point in my life. I worry but not more than others that surround me but then again I'm 19 and I've taken a lot of extra time to get where I want to be, I think I have way more life experience than someone who applies to college fresh out of high school.

Oh no, I'm not teaching, I'm a student. I decided to go back to school and entered Humber's post-grad journalism program.

that's awesome, the teacher that I was talking about before name is Wendy, my mother can't remember her last name which probably makes it near impossible for you to figure out which teacher I'm talking about.

how is humber? i wanted to go there to study the performing arts, that kinda thing, but i realized that i'm not sure that that's what i want. plus i probably don't have the cash to go all the way to toronto for schooling.

[Cops]

You should come to Toronto Jeenyuss, I'd run over to your room and un-plug your computer so I'd get subbed in :] Tuition isn't that bad compared to University and the Rooms look sick.

p.s OSAP?

You guys are placing too much importance on this, after you hit 27-30 no one cares where you went to school.

[DoTheFandango]

Well, considering I won't be 27-30 for ten more years, I think I need to care.

[Facetious]

Yeah but it's really only six years after you get out.

[DoTheFandango]

If I look forward to futures where nothing matters, I might as well be a fatalist and say that nothing matters because I die eventually. That's such a shitty way of looking at stuff.

the nicer school is just a springboard with a bit more unf. after that its all you. i went to a very nice school, so im starting out pretty solid at age 22. but if i dont perform well, i could be doing the exact same job in 10 years. once your foot is in the door, its all you from there. at least in this business (engineering)

alot of you guys are talking about performing arts

cant help you there

Not necessarily, although I do agree that the want to get into a certain school and thinking that there's no point of going to College or University if you don't get accepted shows a clear sign of idiocy.

In Canada there's certain schools that look really good when you're applying for a job such as McMaster in Canada for any health science related field or Ryserson for Journalism, also the Universities and Colleges have employers come to them and help find them find prospective employees.

I have to place a huge importance on where I want to go, the school that I'd like to go to (Humber for Journalism) offers little prospect for careers, I've spent the past year or so discussing with many teachers and individuals throughout my community that went to or knows someone who went to Humber for Journalism and the general consensus is that it's better if I get a degree in Journalism or try a University-College program that will better my chances of ending up where I want to be.

I know how gay this is going to sound, but I already know this because I saw that you joined their Facebook group.

[DoTheFandango]

That's cool with me, that's kinda the reason I joined those groups.
