partly, but i'm not interested in the subject at all, i feel like i'm not studying to learn, but just to pass an exam and i've looked into other faculties, but nothing really interests me too much
my dad's a handyman and he has a large customer base
going to give plumbing a try, seems pretty interesting, and lots of $$ |

Sadly I agree as well. SFU has definitely changed my views on school/learning in general.

Sounds like you guys aren't interested in your majors at all.
Curious, what are your guys' majors?
i can understand if you're feeling burnt out because its basically the same old shit every class. Take notes. Prepare for next exam. Take exam. Prepare for next exam. Take exam. Prepare for final.
But usually it comes to a point where you ask yourself if it's worth it. And if it is, then congrats, you're still motivated by the thing that brought you to school took the first place. If it's not then change your program. Posted via RS Mobile
It also grinds my gears when people blame the school for shit like this, when it's an issue that affects all students at all schools.
Just my two cents.

I came to university because I had to have a bachelors degree in order to apply for the graduate school i want to attend.
I was lucky enough to find a program that wasn't boring, and is actually interesting/on the cutting edge as far as technological advances in research are concerned (i.e. the stuff I'm learning is highly applicable in the real world if I were to go into pharmaceutical/anti-cancer/etc. research -- basically anything cell based) but the only problem is, it's also one of the most load-intensive programs in terms of sheer amount of crap you have to know.
So .. I'm in a program I love, but I'm not getting a 4.33 GPA every semester. Grad schools want someone with a 4.33 GPA -- so it's often a trade off -- either do something mind numbingly boring and convince yourself to study stuff you know will you never find relevant outside of your degree in order to maintain a highass GPA for grad schools, OR take a challenging degree that is applicable outside the realm of your undergraduate, that you find fascinating, but be forced to undertake a courseload that is significantly more than other degrees.
It's a tough trade off for a lot of people. Hell, I know a guy whose an engineer and all he does is first year physics all day LOL. He loves his job, but his entire degree past his first 2 years wasn't applicable to what he's doing now (or so he says).
So I mean ... there are some flaws in getting a post secondary degree, and post-sec isn't the end-all be-all to being in a rewarding career. If I didn't have a course of action after university, with 2 backup plans if I fuck up, I would have never even attempted it and probably would've gone into trades/done something else with the money wasted on university. You will never have the endurance/strength/energy you have in your twenties, apply it intelligently and efficiently otherwise you will have a tough life until the day you die lol.

I think SFU has it in the gym here for 15 a session (dont quote me on that)

Not at SFU or contract with a commerical gym. Just say how much a private trainer should charge a person.

Sucks that some of you feel that way about school. I guess I'm lucky enough to really enjoy my field of study.

B.Sc in Physical Geography and Spatial Information Systems. | You're in environmental sciences, Kevin.
Don't kid yourself. This is the branch of science is the furthest away from truest science and next to health science. Might as well call yourself an arts student majoring in the philosophy of the earth.
