Postess with the Mostest posted:Inquiring minds are curious what degrees? I wish I knew how to frame properly Carpentry/trades was the before, during, and after bill-paying exercise for my English degree. Surprisingly, I couldn't find a job that utilised that degree very well. Strange, I know. So what do you do to make an English degree useful? Get an education degree! Call me Mr. Plan B. Except now most school divisions aren't hiring new teachers at all because of the deep cuts in the last provincial budget, so fuckin' lol here I am framing again while I pray for a phone call. Framing honestly isn't that hard. All the individual steps are pretty easy to execute. it is putting them all together in the proper order and keeping them square and true that takes a bit of a knack. As a rural landowner you should be scoffing at the notion of inspectors anyway! This link is framing in Canada: the book - https://www03.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/catal...r=1496671873109

What we do here qualifies as communication, barely, so you could probably puff up 'shitposting in canpol' to a half decent sounding volunteer position on your resume if you're that desperate. EDIT: "Volunteer contributor to a bipartisan political and economic awareness group."

The Janitor spectrum comes with varying levels of skill requirement, pay, responsibilities, duties and sometimes even a little prestige. The janitors and devs often hate each and disparage each other.

Let me tell you about teaching degrees, they are worthless in Ontario. Teachers that retire (in their 50s) can collect their pensions and continue to work part-time distorting the job prospects for new teachers.

Looking at grad school at U of T/OISE as we speak, actually. Any Toronto posters know the odds of getting funded to go to grad school out there? What's the average rent for a bachelor suite/1-bedroom? How hosed financially am I if I do grad school in Toronto?

Middle aged guy is always stressed and has to work long hours for salary for a company that has a culture where you just get your project done no matter what even it means 12 hour days and weekends at no extra pay. 3rd guy is nearing retirement and rich and had a great fun career and funnels his money into as 1,200 sq ft model train.  Yeah this is pretty much what I'm afraid of, if I can even land a job somewhere

I don't know about grad school, but you're looking at $1,200+ for a bachelor/one bedroom. It's rough here, do a teaching cert in peterborough or kingston or somewhere else reasonable. Living in Toronto is amazing, but I wouldn't want to do it on credit. Best of luck! e: I was in Manhattan with my wife last week and honestly Toronto cost of living makes that place seem reasonable even after the exchange. Maybe even cheap. So that's where we're at here, we make NYC seem affordable. Reince Penis fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Jun 5, 2017 |

Trump, Clam, Evil, PK, etc., sincere thanks for the help, y'all. Doing (roughly) the same job I was doing two degrees ago was making me laugh/cry. I hear OISE is globally renowned, so I would love to study there, but I'm so deep into debt I think I would classify as "too big to fail" if I had to carry that cost of living. Teaching is indeed the land of mediocrity and heartbreak but dammit I want in!

Same thing happened to teacher friends of mine in Manitoba, the worst part is you get passed over for full-time teaching jobs if you don't sub enough so they effectively got locked out of working for 2 years.

If you get an OGS or a CGS you'll be doing very well, but U of T generally funds its grads quite well. If you get accepted, I think you'll be fine.

Scheer straight up trolling half his party at the Press Gallery dinner lol quote:Scheer seemed to cough on his words as he told the gallery he wasn’t under influence from any fringe group: “There’s some suggestion out there that I’m beholden to a certain group within the Conservative family,” he said, clearing his throat. He then pulled out a carton of milk and took a swig, thanking Canada’s dairy farmers. Reince Penis fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Jun 5, 2017 |
