I figure I might do another year of field work (or two) and then think about a change. I could go to school in September for either electrical engineering technologist or mechanical engineering technologist, or whatever the 3 year program is. Lakehead University then offers a 2 year program to get a B. Eng from your diploma. Or, go to school and do a pre-apprenticeship program to become an electrician or an HVAC guy. The other option is go full time with the military and do something in a non-combat role, preferably with the air force.

School is a really scary thought, since that means up to 5 years of a not so regular income, not to mention the stress of playing catch up in math, since I'm a bit rusty given I've been out of highschool for almost 9 years now.

However, it is nice to be young, with a lot of options ahead of me. I can definitely afford to sacrifice for the next few years to be more successful after that.

Im same boat as you mate, im doing pre-med school with a full time job is hard af and taking more time. Btw if you go to the air force try to pay individual class of maths and shit, will be like a walk on the park
