However, that province is a sponge off the rest of us. Only Quebec would have students walk out over minor tuition hikes that still left them paying less than the rest of the country. Great to see students standing up for themselves. Post secondary should be free for high end students...... Canada needs them to stay in Canada....

PPS: Given my age, most people who are still entitled to call me 'son' are either all dead or close to dying.

Furthermore, Canadian Universities have absolutely zero interest in ensuring they're charging students for a useful education. There is no communication between government, industry and universities to plan and direct students into useful career paths. It's all about butts in seats. Relevance is a non issue.

Relevance is a non issue. the problem with useful and useless is far more so relevant depending on the field in question- outside of STEM field, its pretty useless in most cases. A son of a friend has 75K debt with a Bachelors in Philosophy. And i am like ' wtf are you gonna do with this ? this is saddled with debt for no good reason, you can read Neitzche or Kant from library all you wish'.

With the current massive teacher shortage in BC.... SFU just made changes to their teaching program to extend it from 12 months.... to now 18 months.... Can you say . $$$$$$ . Yet the BC government lets universities get away with this crap... Imagine now it takes . 4-5 years to do your BA ... then you have to get into a PDP teaching program. Another 18 months..... Then you can teach kindergarten / gr. 1 etc..... You do the math.... Loss of income for 6-7 yrs... probably 100,000 in university costs.... to get a job that pays you 1400.00 every 2 weeks.. You would cry if it wasn't this funny......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are trying to be a high-school teacher anywhere on the planet that is not a private school, you are in the wrong business if you are expecting to have any significant disposable income. If you wanna make money, STEM or trades are the only way or at worst, a BBA if you have amazing networking skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
