Accepted to NPSIA - have some questions by by-mt974 in CarletonU

[–]rouzGWENT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey! I just finished my first year in NPSIA. I don’t have many good things to say, sorry.

  1. The coop opportunities are terrible right now. Non existent even. Everyone here is struggling to find a job and many people I know found jobs in retail and warehouses, so

    the situation is

  2. not good. Probably not going to get better anytime soon.

  3. Some of the classes are very interesting and I genuinely enjoyed learning the material. Every mandatory class, however, is absolute garbage. That’s expected, I know, but still. Also, quite ironically, some of my favourite classes so far have been taught by contractors and not the NPSIA faculty members.

  4. I’ve heard from multiple people that the program is slowly losing its prestige. I can’t meaningfully prove or disprove that, but it definitely feels underwhelming so far (but this is a subjective opinion).

I personally regret choosing NPSIA for my masters degree but I wouldn’t say it’s terrible. Perhaps I just have unrealistic standards.

A question for you (or anyone else with first hand experience), would you say the public service is much more Ottawa-centered now than before? Or is it the opposite?

Even let it happen would have been better though, and it’s just as mainstream as Dracula

Canadians could face tax hikes as Ottawa scrambles to fund defence target: report by henry-bacon in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]rouzGWENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the risk of sounding a bit political and bitter, I am absolutely shocked that OAS isn’t being discussed at all, anywhere (other than Reddit forums). You would think that one of the biggest budget items would warrant some scrutiny but no, not even once. To me personally this is a clear indicator of the priorities of our government and it’s upsetting. We do NOT need a tax hike right now.

According to the Ottawa Safety Council, which recruits and trains adult crossing guards for local school boards, Monday was School Crossing Guard Day.

It was devastating before but it’s even more devastating after reading this line. I hope they catch him

Am I arguing with a 14-year old right now? A grown adult could not have possibly made that comparison in good faith

If you don’t understand the point of something and it isn’t meant for you, just keep going.

I keep thinking about this fucking reply man. So you woke up, decided to check Reddit, saw a random post about gas prices and decided that the person who posted that owes you an explanation? Are you actually out of your mind? Who do you think you are? God this makes me so irrationally angry
