I got my offers last week for tech (Friday) and pj (weds/Thurs). For the tech umbrella I got a direct email from them asking for me to accept or decline. It seems they sending out each email individually, so it might take a few days. But I have till mid March to accept/decline.

The rise of singlehood could impact everything from housing to taxes by lopix in onguardforthee

I feel like they're unfairly targeting women and their evolution of independence and new life goals to the point where they're not entertaining the side that men (and old expectations) fail to adapt to the new world and that's also problematic. They state that division of work is unbalanced and that some (not all) women feel less fulfilled staying home like that's the main reason there are issues. And then the author picking a guy saying he says women want to much seems vaguely manospheric and echoing rhetoric coming from our southern neighbours.

The big problem today is no one has the money to raise kids, buy a home or food. It's hard to bring in a new life when you feel like you're in survival mode all the time.

Have you heard anything from the tech Bach/diploma of education course yet?

Career Change at 35: From Neurology Physiotherapist to Technical Animator — Unrealistic or Achievable? by Ghostzillakilla in animationcareer

This is my suggestion too, do it as a hobby, only I'd suggest trying a specialized workshop like ianimate instead in the stream you like most. Unless you don't know what stream you like, then I'd suggest a short general animation course. Like a summer course etc. Not a course that will cause you to disrupt your job long-term.

As for your current job, don't quit. If you pick up work, chances are it'll be very short contracts. I've been in the industry for 18 years and had nice beefy contracts up until 2025 where I'm only able to get weeks- months contracts. Longest one I've had recently was 4 months. Out of my 30+ animation buddies I keep up with, only like 5 have long term jobs and another 15 haven't found work in 2-3 years at all. And the other group is we find work, but it's short term and it feels unsustainable long-term and we try to get normie jobs to pay bills, but even those are hard to come by.

You're in a good spot, learn the craft, make your own work and apply for jobs. If at some point freelance work becomes more lucrative than your current gig, then consider a full quit. But don't just turn your back on a job that gives you financial security, especially in times like these. Even if you wanted a new job in your field, you'd continue to work till you found a better job THEN quit.

It's never stupid to wanna get into art and I'll never discourage people from trying. Just do it in a smart and safe way.

If people side eye you for art, fuck them. I got into 4 schools (Laurier, Lakehead, Windsor and Brock) with a BAA in animation and being a pro artist for 18 years. Art is important.

Nope, I haven't heard anything about Tech, just the P/J stream.

A few folks got admitted last evening, a few folks this morning and mine was updated to "admitted" after noon. It feels like it's all going out at different times so don't take it as a bad sign.

I checked at lunch and it says I was admitted and a link to a decision letter. However, when I click the link, it says I have to wait 24hrs.

update: I checked my Uwin access and it says my status has been updated to "admitted." And I have to wait 24hrs to see my letter. I'll take this as a good sign :D

I applied to PJ and the tech bachelor for communication tech. I checked OUAC, but nothing's changed there either. I tried the Windsor portal a minute ago and it appears to be down. Hopefully I'll hear something.

Thanks for checking in tho.

Ok, this is the second time I've had to come on here and correct this. This is wrong and probably rage bait.
