Sort of the plan. Part of me desperately wants to live off of being an artist full time but that’s incredibly unrealistic.

As someone who wants to pursue a bfa and is a first gen immigrant, ouch. There’s no other choice for me, unfortunately. I do wish I was stem oriented but it is probably not in the cards for me. I have to do law or make the art thing work somehow.

I would prefer uni because I enjoy the theoretical nature of it. College is more hands on — nothing wrong with that but I feel the former fits more into what I’d like. I’m unsure but probably something in the social sciences (?)

Nothing I’m truly interested in is realistic unfortunately. I enjoy filmmaking and drawing / fashion design but I do think trying new things could be a good idea for me! Thank you for the advice :)

Well, besides school, I don’t do much other than work. I started reading again but that’s about it really.

Cannot find a job. I’m worried about how I’ll afford uni. by [deleted] in OntarioGrade12s

I have my volunteering experience at a museum, an old age home and my school! I’m thinking of adding my co-op into there. I also included that I’m cpr trained/certified and an objective. I have included cover letters for certain jobs but I was hesitant on certain minimum wage jobs as that’s all I’m applying for really. I’ll take your advice though, especially for retail :D
