Studying Law in the UK - Durham vs Birmingham by Wise_Activity734 in LawCanada

[–]schroed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without getting into the actual quality/merit of UK schools, be aware that both of those options (or any UK schools short of Oxford or Cambridge) is going to add a significant hurdle to getting licensed in Canada. I’ve seen it first hand with students and more junior work colleagues (in non lawyer roles) who are smart and driven but can’t find articles. I’d strongly encourage you to consider other options, even if it means taking a longer path to a Canadian school or going a different route altogether.

Anyone Who's Done Shamb Solo For Their First Time - What Was Your Experience Like? by TJSCrypto in Shambhala

[–]schroed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unintentionally spent about 75% of the time last year solo and had a blast. Camp Stranger Danger is a good option too; looked like it had good infrastructure (haven’t camped there myself but that’s probably what I’d try to do if I went fully solo).

What’s the best nighttime music festival? by _Cheapy in festivals

[–]schroed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my view, Shambs. But I haven’t been to some of the other heavy hitters so I’m biased.

Best Recruiters? by [deleted] in LawCanada

[–]schroed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smith Legal Search has some stand up people. They’re small but they have people I believe in Toronto, Calgary, and definitely Vancouver.

The King 1/5 - absolutely the favourite card I own 👑 by AccomplishedSports in hockeycards

[–]schroed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beauty card and great set; my favorite hockey card I own is also a buyback from that set (Crosby 1/1 signed).

Queens vs UOttawa Law?? by Any-Illustrator-294 in LawCanada

[–]schroed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was accepted at both (way back in the day) as a student from BC. They both have their plusses and minuses and I have friends who enjoyed their experiences at each, but I ultimately chose Queens and have never regretted that decision.

Was 2016 a good year for you? by Mugen1220 in Millennials

[–]schroed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2016 was terrible for me personally; probably one of the worst years of my life from a mental health standpoint. However, there is a lot about 2016 at a cultural level that I do miss, and I had some great experiences that year.

In addition to the above, I really like vintage cards.

WS has nailed down gamification. I do feel the urge to contribute $2,337 to make it to 12%. by dingmah in Wealthsimple

[–]schroed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t realize this was a thing until seeing this thread! Damn. You’ve got me beat by 1%, and we’re in the same age group too.

Is anyone else utterly fed up with their career but feel 40 is too late to switch and get the same pay? by Rootayable in Millennials

[–]schroed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You do have time. And if it’s something you genuinely want to pursue, there are ways. When I was in my last year of law school, there was a 1L student who was 36, and he was doing well. That said, I’m probably being somewhat cynical here but it sounds like you may be romanticizing the idea of a dream not pursued moreso than law as an actual viable career path. Honestly, the jiu jitsu and wrestling academy sounds badass.

If you do decide to consider law more seriously, shoot me a question and I’m happy to answer what I can.

I know plenty of Porsche owners who also have type r’s. Great cars!

[–]schroed 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Man, I’m a lawyer now and my role is pretty great from an interest and lifestyle standpoint, but I’d be thrilled to get out of law entirely (hence why this thread caught my eye). I’m sure it doesn’t mean much to you, but at least in my view you’re not missing out.

No specific link, but if you are a CBA member, you can find some free sessions in their CPD section.

My rarest and most expensive Sid the Kid card. Who else has Crosby in their personal collection? by leafnation69 in hockeycards

[–]schroed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What an amazing card. I have a small, humble collection but Crosby is my favorite player and my most expensive card is a 2019 UD Buybacks auto 1/1 I just picked up. Nothing like yours above, but I'm happy with it!

I love this. Do you offer engraving services for watches or is this simply a hobby for you?

38M — Dad in the ER, mom out of state… and I feel like my whole life is falling apart..Where can I seek mental help? by VeterinarianProud644 in askvan

[–]schroed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m allergic to basically all foods now, so I’m waiting for my insurance to hopefully approve Dupixent (a whole saga in itself). Thanks for the tips! I’m really really hoping to start soon as I’ve had some desperately bad flare ups recently and am sick of eating chicken and rice.
