Alas, dear chum, I am nowhere near this "after" you refer to. Sure, I graduated with a B.A. a while ago, but as it turns out attaining that particular level of post secondary education is equivalent to what graduating high school would have been 15 years ago. As such, I am doing several courses right now in order to go back and get a B. Ed. which at least is a professional degree and has a particular career path associated with it. Whether I'll actually be able to get a job afterward amongst extensive teacher layoffs is another question. I guess what I'm saying is that being a cog in the machine doesn't sound too bad from some perspectives; at least it's a reliable income. May I also say that, while it is reassuring to hear that you are having many of the same misgivings I (and I assume many of our generation) do, I'm a little unnerved by the fact that you have a couple more years to get where your going before you hit 30, while I have about 13 months. I don't know why that particular age seems like a finish line of sorts, but that's the way it feels. Anyway, glad to hear you're liking school, I've always suspected an education in something practical would be more rewarding in a lot of ways. Going to be in Alberta for X-mas?
