What are you studying for, or what are you planning to do?
Me, I'm doing electrical engineering, and I'm on my second year.
I'm most likely going to focus on power electronics and power systems. So anything from regular electronics, to electric motors, to power grids, to computer power supplies.

Well at the moment, I'm working as a cashier at Home Depot.
But as soon as I go back to school I'll be studying performing art, because I have delusions of becoming an actor someday.

Why are they delusions?
Even if you never became an actor, you can always fall back on teaching lol

Well Right now I work at a Computer Repair shop, I would post our website, but its embarsing plain and pathetic, wouldn't really maind doing that for a while, but definetly don't see it as a lifetime job... Maybe a side job when I'm older, but nothing more...
As for what I'm studying, right now I'm just going to a CC for my generals, but as soon as those are done I'm planning on going to a college called Ex'pression College for Digital Arts, and I will be taking their Digital Visual Media course (3D Modling, Texturing, Lighting, Animation etc... etc...)
I would have already gone, but I think I'm going to try and save up for the $60,000 before then...

Is that $60,000 in total, or per year?
That's quite a lot either way.
Mine will only end up being around $35,000 for 4 years, and it's still a bit more expensive than other programs.
Maybe it's because the Canadian government covers half the fees. International students pay twice as much as me, for the same thing.

TOTAL, if that was per semester then I would defienlty not go there, that would be $240,000... No way in any kind of hell would anybody ever pay that for this kind of education...
But yeah it is expensive, but they have about an 89% employment rate in the feilds that the students graduate from, and I have taken a turn thing there, its amazing the kind of equipment we get to work with... and most of the teachers there have already worked in the feild so they know what they are doing, some of them still do work too... hell... Pixar is right down the street...

That's cool. I don't even know what my schools employment rate is, but I know we all need revelant work experience to graduate, so chances are it's pretty high. Because if you can't get a job, you just don't graduate. Easy way to skew statistics isn't it.

My dad want's me to go devry, and get an education there. I don't really pay attention to cost or anything like that, cause I'm not really thinking bout college right now.
I'm focusing on my art, so that I could be a character designer one day. ^-^

I work full-time in a hospital as a food service worker/b***h to the kitchen which i'm mostly a dishwasher, and I help stock supplies.
I make 9.46 an hour, nothing too bad.
But my real intention is to go to a community college [1-2 year college] and get a degree in Accounting. It's nothing flashy but it's what i'm good at; information.
Plus I work at a hospital so with a 1-2 year degree/diploma/certificate I could get a job like that, interal placement FTW.

Yay a post!
This forum was being neglected...
That's pretty neat, I'm still trying to figure out how to get a job.
Time is running out too neutral
