On one hand, that is pretty annoying. On the other, I think it's the universe saying "time to put your feet up and grab a drink while you wait"

I had body aches and a mild fever, sick enough to take the day off work, but not too sick to play video games all day haha.

It's very hit and miss. Some people's immune response is more inflammatory (pain, fever, etc) than others. I don't think there is any evidence to suggest symptoms are related to effectiveness, but I like to tell myself that if you feel it, at least you know your immune system is responding to it.

Check out BCIT's software/programming or accounting/finance programs. Lots of options for 2 year diplomas that will land you decent jobs. If that's not your thing, look into the skilled trades. 

Edit: I just read your reply where you said you were interested in medicine. Check out the medical imaging/nuclear medicine programs too. Being an Xray/CT/MRI tech is a great career, and I believe it is still a 2 year diploma and not a 4 year degree. 

Edit 2: I looked it up: Yes, "Medical Radiography" is a 2 year diploma. Graduate and start working in a hospital at ~$28 an hour and the option to work as much OT as you want. Salary goes up to ~40/ hour as you gain experience and seniority. 

Full NMC too. He'll have too be one of their 7 protected forwards in the Seattle expansion.
