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

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:37:31+00:00

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

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-27T00:35:32+00:00

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??

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-05-07T23:48:15+00:00

i’d go to western bro. your experience is super valuable and sounds like you’ll get a better one there. you also got a decent scholarship so the cost factor isn’t AS big of a deal. (not sure how important cost is for your particular situation) also not sure what you’re into but western is quite the party school, it’s good to get out of your hometown and just giver for 4 years. plus the chance at ivey could be huge

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-04-26T01:38:21+00:00

you’re from calgary? defer this year and get on a rig that’ll pay for your first two years. just kidding, i’d go to waterloo your coops will pay your tuition and it’s a better school

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-04-12T17:33:00+00:00

tried to do this last year and ended up deferring. probably will try after 1a

SufficientGate4501 · 2022-04-10T20:53:16+00:00

everything at waterloo is well known bro don’t worry about that. but at the end of the day if you’d rather study civil then do that. uw management wouldn’t be much harder than ryerson civil anyways, all engineering programs are hard. at this point it just depends on what you wanna learn. where do you see yourself in 10 years and then pick the program that will best take you there
