that pin is still making me laugh...

I want that on a t-shirt!

 

... trying to fin my report card so i can see what my average was last year. im gonna really buckle down this year

 

Dewit lol

and good idea Jordan.

 

average with options is 87.5 so 88%
without options its 71%

i got work to do first semester

 

when it comes to grades, they round down;
think of it this way - if you had $2.50 could you buy a $3 item?

that's the way it works...

but also, the marks are only about required courses for what you need as a prerequisite - your 9%5 in home economics won't help you out there


on a completely unrelated matter, I just checked out this page - looks kinda cool!

ok so ill do a recalc here....

 

68% im boned

 

here is the breakdown of it all. just to clear it up, cause i probably confused you guys lol. i hope they dont take much of grade 11 into account cause i didnt really try in my subjects


Option #1

- Take on an extra course and have 6 core subjects next year
- Average more than 80% in 5 of them
- Go through 4 years of post-secondary (college)
- End up with around $60,000 per year starting and the average salary is $120,000 per year

option #2

-Keep 5 core subjects and have an extra option
- Get at least 70% in all my core subjects
- do 2 years of post secondary
-end up with like $40,000 starting and an average of $65,000 per year

i really wanna do option 1

 

its all what you make for your self, i took the PET from SAIT and im in an Engineers's position and salary( Paper gets you in the door-then after that its up to you), so just remember life is all what you make it. Work hard and you can go places.

 

i wouldnt go with above numnbers- they take into account average Salary- most people in positions in the patch there salary is only 50-70% of the pay

Also if you want take the 2 year degree at SAIT, if you still like school you can finish you petreleum engineering degree at 3 different schools with just another 2 years of school ( good route encase you are sick of school after two years) Still only 4 years of school then.

You can also go to work after the two years, then get the company you get a job with to pay for you to go back..........

Option 1 also involves 4 years of being in sausagefest classes and about 1.5 years of co-op work (do co-op since u get paid 25-30 an hour to sit around and do nothing and have a hell of a lot better chance of getting a job right out of school) Once your in it's really easy since everyone works together on everything and basically just cheats off eachother. I've had a couple friends do engineering degrees at UofA. I kinda wish I went that route lol

 

If you can get your foot in the door with any oil company, the will let you try for anything if you show them you want to do it

 

so i should do the PET course, and then after a bit of work after that, go back and upgrade basically?

 

So what makes u want to be an engineer anyways?

 

i dunno its like a family thing sorta. i got a couple cousins in chemical and i thought meh i would like to give it a try

 

See if you can job shadow one of your cousins for a day to see if you'd like it. Most companies allow it if he's working out of a safe environment.

 

This is what my student advisor told me to do when I was torn between 2. Listen to the man. It works.

 

they are in saskatchewan

 

hoy!!!!! greetings from penticton..... got my toes in the sand watchin hoes play volleyball..... just thinkin of my buds and buddettes when i am enjoying +30 weather.... i be online later as i get drunk..... btw i need darker glasses ella keeps busting my wandering eyes..... hahahahahahah jks.... peaches are so sweet and the cherries are even sweeter.............

 

lol glad to hear your having a good time man!

 

anyone know where i can get the nozzles for the windshield washer fluid? mine are not working right

 

scrapyard would be my suggestion...

unless they ID you of course

(PNP has a min 18yo policy btw ~ not that it mattered when we went )

 

its 16. i read the sign last time. and me and my buddy (not the douche) went in fine. ok ill make a trip there tomorrow.

 

oh.

they must have changed their rules then;
when they first took over Pick Your Part, they instituted an 18yo (iirc) policy, didn't allow kids in the yard (but made a play room for them to hang out in, and started chargin admission... but made friday's "free admission friday";

IIRC last year they dropped the "free admission friday", and the kids play room turned into another garbage room, with a sign clearly stating kids were not supposed to be left unattended...

PNP blows goats... not to mention their sky-high prices (compared to what they used to charge) **** me off...

but meh... it's for the best the changes meant that I progressively went less (totally stopped going after they stopped free admission - unless someone needed something... and their sky high prices totally curbed my problem of collecting "extra" car parts...

 

ya, but that ECM was a good deal and those phasers. it depends on what you need i guess. ill probably just sneak out the nozzles cause theyll charge me like 5 bucks lol
