For those talking about transferring, its unlikely Phreak will get much credit. NAIT and SAIT all dangle this and retarded 18-20 year olds with no clue what the real engineering program is like think they'll take engg tech programs and then just hop into 2nd year ENGG
I remember one chick who was ADAMANT about doing this, and one day I was "bitch, your grades fucking suck, you have no god damn clue, I looked into this, they'd give me maybe a 1/2 year worth of credits for two years of the engg tech program, and engg tech wouldn't prepare you in the slightest for the full ENGG degree because I did the full first year".
I had a 4.0 all years of my engg tech. Whoopdee doo, ENGG was soul destroying and my grades sucked
Just like Phreak, all I did was homework/study and it wrecked my life for a long time after, an actual change in my mental state.
Personally, I think Phreak is suffering from sunk cost fallacy. I don't really understand his reasoning for continuing to do the degree, especially at his age. A lot of people are being encouraging, but encouraging somebody to continue doing something that has them stressed out as balls for the next 3-4 years doesn't make much sense to me. Maybe if he wanted to open his own architectural firm or something, I get the need for the ENGG degree, but if there are jobs available for engg techs in the field, get the diploma, go work.
I think all the time about going back to University, but it would only be for something I ENJOYED, not something I was just "good at".
I'm not trying to encourage or discourage you Phreak. Just trying to lay out the options for you, wish I had someone to remotely walk me through my time at ENGG. Basically everyone said "fuck off" and the school said if I flunked courses, there was no retaking them. Haha shit, talking about it is giving me PTSD.
