And my friend's brother went for an engineering degree and he's getting a job with a private school, so that's something.
And seriously, don't worry too hard about grade 12, I found a lot of teachers to be sympathetic to the "i need good grades to get into this university" feeling so they weren't too tough.
it's so entertaining! although, i feel like a total geek, walking around school with a book on punctuation.
& i know you've told me not to freak out, but my parents & teachers seem to like the scare tatic. & i'm not sure if that's because it works, or if they're just a bunch of sadists.
i'm sorry. my mother temporarily crushed my dreams of becoming a hairdresser. but i will cut your hair one day! i swear on my love for you. & i'm going to write you a letter & send it this weekend. you'll get it next weekend. w00t!
Engineering. Bah. There's so many different kinds, and all sorts of specialties that you could diverge towards. I doubt you'd have trouble finding a job. Especially now a days, with technology and advancement and oi. It hurts the head.
Just do something you enjoy. You're going to be paying thousands of dollars a year, you might as well like what you're paying for. It's not like you can't change your decision later. I'm sure you'll gain something out of whatever you choose.
After this year, all the maths and sciences; if you don't enjoy it, I wouldn't suggest becoming an engineer.
Then their's the whole idea of "trades" and such. Supposedly they're in demand. I wouldn't object to you fixing my leaky faucets. Good money in them, I suppose, if money is what you're after.
If all else fails, you could always become a ninja and extort money out of unsuspecting golf players. Couldn't hurt.

But I told you that already.
