It's a good summer job and pretty good pay. Gotta love working for the government, lol.

My taxes pay your salary! Make me a sandwich! Seriously though, that sounds like a cool job. My current title is "environmental analyst" I think.

Haha, I'm eating a sandwich right now. Best part is I'm a summer student so I don't really have to do much. Though I'd rather do work then be at school, university is killing me.

Haha. I too am familiar with the greatness of being a summer student. Those were good times. Personally, I like school as well but summer work was always much easier. Just switch to the humanities (maybe sociology...it's not even a real subject!) faculty at school. It should reduce your workload (and employment opportunities) by about 94%.

I'll stick with my Mechanical Engineering degree, haha.

Whatever...have fun easily finding employment in high-demand fields with strong future potential and diversity chump. Mech is difficult though. I tried to solve a 4th year mech assignment that someone left on the bench in the gym in the time it took to tie my shoes. I was unable to solve the problem in those 3 minutes (I find tying my shoes very challenging) and concluded that mech is indeed difficult.

It is difficult but in the end it's worth it. Although I'm not doing straight Mech, I'm doing a Materials Option with it. So like metals and composites, and I want to do a dual degree which would probably be in Film.

Double major degree with mech engineering as one and film as the other!? Not to be a downer but have you checked the requirements for those degrees? They're unlikely to share any of the same core requirements, except maybe english so you'd likely have to spend 5-6 years in classes. Suppose spacing out your engineering classes would be a good choice though and you would join me in the proud ranks of those who possess two completely unrelated bachelors. Most of my friends in mech did their bachelors over 5 years.

At least you're not in electrical engineering though...that is in a whole other realm so far as difficulty. In my opinion, it is without doubt the most difficult bachelors degree.

Despite your obvious overqualifications in government requirements, you might be able to work for the government if you can satisfy this simple requirement that trumps all others: Do you believe in getting paid too much for pointless work (done poorly and slowly mind you), all at taxpayers expense and refusing to lose your job or take a pay cut despite the fact that your job has been rendered completely pointless or obsolete because you're a member of a quasi-communist union? If so, you're ready for a promising career in Canadian healthcare or other government organizations! Best of luck

I'm sure I can manage. What's the worst that could happen?

Haha.

I work at a local tire and mechanics shop. I just change tires mostly all day. Pays at 9 bucks an hour, which is pretty good I think considering I'm seventeen.

I work in a grocery store, I pretty much run the floral/ garden dept. If I ever quit I think they might cry cuz they need my hard working ass. I actually thought my boss was gunna cry today when I told her I was only gunna be working p/t starting sept. HA! At the moment im making 11$ and hour.

One bad/good thing about grocery stores are you have to deal with ALLL kinds of ppl, everything from a-z they all need food.

I currently work at Wendy's for $8.50/h, but I'm thinking of becoming a laborer for a local contractor for the summer. (lifting boxes, directing traffic, pretty much all the crap work everyone else doesnt want to do)
