wow cool to see how many young people around my age are on here haha and i've been contemplating going back to school, i work full time as a service technician at a respiratory/pulmonary/biomed company, just doesn't pay as well as i'd like. i already went to a vocational highschool for electronics/computer repair, what a waste of time haha i learned next to nothing about electronics i should have taken one of their auto courses like collision, diesel, or auto tech, oh well. i just dunno what i really want and i don't want to become a poor student

Well, I finished my technical degree in 05 (at Dawson College...) and I now work for a government medical clinic (called a CLSC).
I'm in charge of everything technical: moving desks, installing billboards on walls or changing clocks` batteries...
It's nothing really exiting, but it pays ok. Lots of free time too. :wink:
Since my last post in this thread, I worked 1 year for Bell Helicopter. A 1 year contract to help in the mechanical lab testing hydraulic systems mainly.
I'm starting (for a second time) my bachelor in Finance at Concordia University, the John Molson school of business.
I realised that we all work to make money, so having a job about making big bucks is what I need.
Some courses have to be taken outside the John Molson school of business, so I will certainly take some mechanical engineering classes (30 credits or so).
Finance and administration students are together for the first year, so I will also look at the possibility of obtaining 2 bachelors in about 4 years...
I would like to also do mechanical engineering, kinda just for me, finance being for paying the bills and cars modifications...you know. :lol:

Reviving this from the deep freeze.
I'm within days of submitting my thesis to end my Master studies in Germany. It's been quite a crazy 52+ months since I hopped on a plane with my life belongings as my luggage and left Canada to do my M.Sc in Germany. Now I'm returning back to Canada, but my educational journey is not yet over... I'm doing a PhD in mechanical engineering in Quebec, to start promptly in the new year.
P.S.: It might interest some people that my Master thesis is on the subject of 2-stage turbocharging... and my PhD will also have something to do with engines as well.

Congrats man, I remember being jealous when you started on your journey many moons ago.
Will it be hard to leave Germany?

Since you asked, here's a peek... a further development of the work in my thesis is patent pending and will be used to build a 2.0 TDI with streetable 400 HP.

Very nice Justin! All the best with your family and in your endeavours!
I used to live in Lake Orion and work in Auburn Hills, located very close to the GM Orion assembly plant and Roush Industries.
UW Madison has some amazing research and faculty there. Prof. Rolf Reitz is a titan among engine engineering academics!

Well I completed my first year of college but then quit to go work for Giles. It's been 2 years and I've decided to move back to North Bay which will mean finding a new job or going back to school. I'm still very undecided.

Finish college. Even if you wind up in a different field, it still looks good on the resume! Got to be someone in the Bay that needs a part time fuel guy to keep the wolf from the door while you go to school......... Wait, that's not where you started the college thing, is it?

No I went to college in Sudbury. There are no fuel shops in North Bay but there is on in Sudbury. I kind of hate that town though.

Thank you,
when were you in the lake orion area? I co-oped at FEV from 04-06 which was just south of Lake Orion. the spent some time in Tucson developing Bows for PSE and was fortunate enough to land a job back in MI now working on V12 air cooled 1790 cubic inch Tank engines upwards of 1200 GHP:)
Good luck with your thesis,
Justin

LOL, I worked at FEV. That's the company I was referring to the whole time. How cool is that?! Who are some of the people you knew there?
