I’m applying for universities this fall, so I’ve started to do research for them. I don’t have any experience with this, and I don’t really know what I should be looking for. Right now I have found all the major universities that have Bachelors in the field that I want to go into (Mechatronics), and I have added a little bit of info on each as well as their requirements in an obsidian doc, but what other info would be worth looking into and adding to my document?
(Edited to include my field of interest)
I tried to get my one kid to do business marketing as opposed to media studies and publishing. Take a minor in publishing. My thought was the flexibility of a business degree would allow a path towards a CPA or if they land in publishing the marketing would be a very complementary pair. Lots of off shoot jobs could lean on it.
University can lead to a lot of debt in Canada too
Yeah not an easy place as a parent there. On one hand you want them to do what they enjoy doing, they should get whatever degree they want. On the other, they have never experience the real world and have no idea what the job market is like - and you don’t want them to leave college with a piece of paper that’s worthless either.
