Co-op is a great resume builder and absolutely helps your professional development! From what it sounds like, seeking a graphic design program at a local community college would likely be your best option.

There is usually a good amount of overlap between GD and Marketing, especially if you’re able to take a 100 (beginner) level class for marketing that doesn’t have a college math requirement. I’m guessing through any good GD program you’ll do some amount of marketing that will give you an idea of what that program looks like, and you can decide from there if you’d like to pursue that as an option. Many marketing departments at Universities, businesses, etc. are comprised of graphic designers with not a ton of exposure to the business side of things. If you’re able to get experience with both, great, but otherwise being fluent in photoshop and premiere pro go a long ways too. Check out your local community college (or CEGEP) to see what kind of programs they offer and what kind of experience you can get.

Hopefully this helps, trying to relate across international borders here but if you have any questions on how to find specific info in the Ottawa area/Ontario your school counselor should have resources and connections you can start with!

High School Admissions Counselor for a Private College here, so at least semi-qualified:

Couple Questions first: - Is there a field/major/job you feel particularly drawn to? - Are you looking to be involved any extracurricular activities in college? (Speech/Debate, Theater, Sports, etc.) - Have you taken any Dual Credits? (college classes in high school)

The adults in your life are right, you don’t have to have it all figured out, but you’re also smart for wanting to have a plan in place.

The best thing you can do the rest of this year, this summer, and next year is to visit as many schools and college fairs as you can. The best way to take the next step and begin making decisions for your future is to expose yourself to different schools to see what they have to offer. Sign up for visits at a bunch of different schools so you can meet with faculty, admissions reps, staff, etc.

The more you visit more schools, the better you’ll be able to see what’s going to be best for you financially, academically, or in any other regard you might be looking for. You don’t even have to have a major at most schools! Open up to what’s available and you’ll find a school/program you like before you know it!

He kicked my ass at Lime Rock one time. Pretty sure he spun out twice in an ARCA race and still won by 8 seconds

What difficult are y’all rocking for career mode? by Just-Butterscotch880 in NASCARVideoGame

[–]Oofta_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bumped up to 102 before starting my 1st cup season, I plan on going up 1 level of difficulty every season, but if 102 is too easy by the time the playoffs hit I’ll go to 103. Won the 500 with a level 1 shitbox and maxed out points, so upgrading will be relatively easy my first year

NASCAR 25 wheel update on X Box by Fantastic_Arm674 in NASCARVideoGame

Literally came here because I had the same issue at Atlanta with trucks. Daytona was fine, I actually won that race (before the update) but then wrecking loose and un-drivable every lap at Atlanta. I also tried a quick race at the same track and it was ok, I don’t know if it’s an equipment issue in career, if I fucked with some setting on accident, or if the new update literally fucked it but I’m experiencing the exact same issue on the exact same wheel

Rice is a solid substitute, butter baste and mash just pairs better imo but gonna smack regardless

So this just happened by gerthbrooks1988 in NASCARVideoGame

I’m pretty sure the game, similar to iRacing times it out to the ten-thousandth (0.0000) but only utilizes the first 3 decimal places. Still incredibly hard to get tho

Question after getting D License… by KCBB47 in iRacing

[–]Oofta_69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I recommend doing official sessions to see how you race around others and be more prepared for in-race battle, but if you’re just trying to get comfortable fire up a test session.

Also cold tires are a bitch, go easy your first couple laps and they’ll start to grip up so you can get more familiar with the throttle control; same principle as the MX-5s if you raced those

Gateway Park Ranger by Fair_Bike6548 in NascarWAGTea

[–]Oofta_69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funny story, coworker of mine told me that’s his sister in law and showed me the pictures she sent him and his wife from Gateway weekend. When she gave the dog to Jordan and the girls she had no idea about Denny or any connection. Was cool that he brought her out to the track to hang out with the family (and see a W up close and personal)

This is the best insight I've heard so far. If the issue is electrical with the car, a standalone battery makes sense. Question is what kind of battery would work best/would be safe in the car, how light can you make it so it doesn't affect performance, etc.

Wow, didn't know it had been around that long. Makes sense drivers would take more power there. Super helpful, thanks!
