There were people on the BC Ferries thread advocating for a no-frills ferry service. I frequently see this type of philosophy being spouted in the media, on the internet, and so on. There is nothing wrong with this general operating principle; people just need to keep their mouths shut if buses don't come with A/C, or if GPS technology is not available, or if Skytrains run on reduced service in freak snowstorms, for example.

First off, good for you I can always respect someone who goes for more education to further themselves. Are you doing your masters program here in BC? I guess it'll depend what school you go to and the program itself since I don't think you could suck in an engineering program or be weeded out easily compared to a master's in history for instance.

Thanks. I'm doing a Master degree locally and it is in a basket-weaving (i.e. non-technical) discipline.
