you should have gone into IT.

my baggy jeans that I'm wearing have a hole near the crotch, and my collared polo shirt has a skull on it.

why not try and push photography?

combine that with marketing yourself with a portfolio to people for emotional times in their lives (ie pics of preggos, newborns, etc) you can make very good side money and leave the rest of the of week to try and figure out what you want to do on a regular stable side.

Ain't no money in a business diploma or degree.

Yeah, I'd still be in school is OSAP didn't screw me over! SO now I need a job to try to make some money so I can go back to school. I only took business because I had no idea what I wanted to do (still don't) It was an easy out!

you realize you summed up your 'boat' and why you're in it.

1. OSAP didn't screw you over, you screwed yourself over by committing to a contract you didn't understand, chose not to, or didn't bother to understand.

2. Taking 'business' with no clue is a massive waste of time. A lot of people equate money with business and don't realize most successful business people wouldn't be going to a college to learn something. college is far too slow for that.

3. You still don't know what you want to do, but you're talking about school.

--

steps to finding a job
-work in a few industries, and if you don't like it, find something else before you quit
-don't complain with your mouth, you don't like it, do something about it
-don't use anything as an excuse.

I have one friend who quit his job cause 'it sucked' and he's now been unemployed for 2 years. he has an honours business degree from york u.

school is meaningless if you're not applying it at all.

matt, you can do certs to get a quick head start.

get your A+ and Network+ if you really want to go into IT.

You shouldn't have a hard time finding a crap service desk position. From there, get the company to pay for training and do an MCSE.

In 4 years, you can be making $60k no problem.

A+
Network+
MOS - dirt easy - cheap books off amazon (now called something else)
Microsoft XP (MCP) (towards MCSE)
Micosoft Server (towards MCSE)
Security+
three day course ITIL V3 foundations
about 2-3 college courses (MCSA) (towards MCSE)
about 2-3 college courses (MCSE)

assuming you can speak non-broken english, you'll be a step up from the competition as well. college is absolutely useless for IT unless you want to be telling people to cycle their router at home.
