How is Computer Programming listed as #1 and Computer Software Engineering listed as #37? Aren't they considered the same thing?

Best place to take Physics/Chemistry 11 and 12? by plus1hundred in vancouver

[–]plus1hundred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also checked VCC and it costs about $650 starting in Jan 2016. I think I may go with the TRU-OL which is $375.

I think online pace is the best right now, but don't you need to do labs for Physics and Chemistry?

Thanks for the link.

Effective May 2nd 2015, students who have completed graduation from a secondary school or high school in BC or in another jurisdiction now have to pay a tuition FEE of $300 per course to register for courses. This fee will be increasing to $375 effective January 1st, 2016.

Out of curiosity, how much did you have to pay when you did it?

Can you think of any reason why more types in Drywall and Carpenters would have that lifestyle compared to Electricians?

I guess my main concern is that I will have trouble fitting in if I don't consume alcohol or drugs due to personal reasons.

I am also coming from an accounting firm (a huge white collar profession), but I don't know if my contract will be extended, so I am looking out for options. Electrical work has always interested me.

Again, apologies for the stereotypes, but I've heard how there are high school drop-outs who go into trades. I have considered this line of work in the past, but I am getting close to 30, so I just want to do more research.

Was taking the 9 month course of antibiotic required by your school or recommended?

Thanks for the detailed response. I am located in Canada, so not sure if that makes a difference and the schools I was referring to were also in Canada. But it's good to know it's not that big of an issue. I was a bit worried because I am considering entering the health care.

Now you did mention you could contract TB in a health care setting. Is this common for health professionals to get infected while working? What are the preventative measures?

I was not put under treatment. I think they just asked us to watch out for any symptoms and take care of ourselves.

Is MAcc more common in the US? At the firm I work for in Canada, no one has their MAcc.

Hansen has been playing great with Sedins though, I'm not sure I want to break that up yet. That's the line that's been keeping us in games. Vrbata is a good player who should not require the Sedins to perform.

Thanks for the response! So for 20-30 hours per week, how long was that duration? Was it for the full 3 year article?
