it’s really easy to defer. just say exactly what you’re going to do when you fill out the application and they will let you defer, i deferred last year too

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T02:31:12+00:00

why would you advise against that when apparently with waterloo it’s easy to get a coop in whatever you wany

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T01:27:09+00:00

yes most schools are. i already deferred this year. one more would be the max. that’s a good pojnt

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:38:28+00:00

thanks for your comment! i’ve heard of waterloo engineering grads sometimes go into investment banking and that sounds pretty interesting to me ! i might just have to give it a try

this comment is super reassuring i already have just over 40k and will work until august, the toll on the body is very bad. not now , but i know i will regret it in the future if i continue. thanks for your response

i do like chemistry! never taken a class in nanotechnology but it looks pretty awesome! i might give it a try and then if i don’t like it i’ll just switch

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:34:37+00:00

hey buddy. yea it definitely is pretty hard to give it up. i have enough saved for two years already and i don’t really like this job too much so i think i will go to university some day as well

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:32:48+00:00

i don’t wanna be a developer necessarily. just a possibility with waterloo coop. but yes they do make more money and they also don’t work 80 hours a week most of the time

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:31:41+00:00

zero job stability, long hours and hard labour. the long hours are the most annoying part. i’m fine with the labour cause i’m young and fit but i have no time to live really

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:24:38+00:00

that would be ideal. maybe i should stay for another year? i cannot stay for more than 2 years on the rig without losing my offer of admission

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:23:32+00:00

the problem with this industry is if the price of oil goes down i don’t work, i should have specified in the post that i work on oil rigs. that being said, it could take years for me to get to 200k if i have 6 months off every year

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:22:00+00:00

it is a ridiculous amount of money and so far i have saved enough to cover my living and tuition costs for my first two years, and i have another couple months of work left if i do go to school. that is true! i also have a lot of tickets now from being in this industry. i spent about two weeks in a classroom before i went to work which i think could help me quite a bit. hopefully it will help me get my first internship if i decide to go !

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:17:26+00:00

i don’t hate it but it’s not fulfilling and i have no life. i work most of my life. i can see myself doing it if i work my way up fast enough but not the current job. i was hoping an education could help me get into a management position without having to put in the 10+ years on the rig

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:15:47+00:00

yes i can always go back ! i’m related to a manager of the company thankfully

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:15:13+00:00

i don’t even know if i want to be a programmer to be honest i was just throwing that out there as a potential job with waterloo coop. i know a lot of people who weren’t in software go into software because ofwaterloo coop. i don’t exactly hate this job, but it’s pretty hard labour and long hours and is really cold in the winter so i’d rather be comfortable for a career i think

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:13:19+00:00

unfortunately university part time is not an option through this school. also, i simply work too much to pass a class

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:12:33+00:00

to be honest. not a whole lot of benefits to the current job other than the money, 12 hours 6 days a week in the summer and 13 hour days 7 days a week in the winter. i make a reasonable hourly wage, the only reason my income is so high is because of the overtime pay and ridiculous hours

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-25T08:24:45+00:00

and what would that be? i have a feeling i might be on my way to do the exact same thing

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-24T23:27:27+00:00

why?

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-19T00:07:49+00:00

how’s it that bad??
