In your position, it's harder to say. Waiting lists for BCIT really can be ridiculous.

I was able to get into the Electrical field a lot easier than most, since I started out apprenticing for my father. He told me that it's better to get a trade under your belt, then you can do whatever you want after. Once you have a trade, you can always fall back on it.

I'm not sure if I would do it again if my father wasn't an Electrician, but I do love what I do and look forward to the future.

One thing I would suggest not doing is constantly changing your career decisions. I have friends that still haven't got a clue what they want to do after all of the years of starting a new career or school, then quitting and doing something completely different 4 or 5 times. I know it's important to enjoy what you do, but some people just waste a lot of their time and money trying to find it.
