And why? What kind of career are you looking to start with this? Just curious to see what people are doing. Because I don't have one and i'm lost.

^ I went the EE route for 3 years. I learned more about electricity in that time than I ever wanted to know. I decided it wasn't for me and took a couple years off.

just so you know, i dont think whistler does jack for their park as far as diggers go (having been up there all summer i never saw one person maintaining the public park) so if you want a job as a digger better get in with one of the camps. pretty tough job to land though.

biology major ... pretty much the only person NOT planning on going to med school. so i'm thinking it'll take me into research stuff. because i have a concentration in the environmental side of things.

read this book,  business schools are only catching on now, and they are trying to teach kids how to be leaders and good managers, but what they don't realize is that leaders can't be made in the classroom.  but if you are naturally a good leader then im sure you will do fine.

I'm a geology major and I think it's the greatest major ever. we get to spend loads of time outdoors, all our overnight fieldtrips (with camping) imply large amounts of alcohol, and I get to travel all over the world (hawaii, canary islands, iceland, greenland, italy, new zealand, etc. etc. Plus all the people in the department are tons of fun, lad back, outdoorsy people. and everyone loves to ski.

Right now (even though I'm not out of high-school) I'm starting to think about something to do with sports psychology or physiotherapy, then move to some big assesed, cashed-up ski field and start up a practice their.

Easy money!

Either that or something to do with computers

speaking of sequences.. . . I'm in the process of sequencing some acidophillic archaea I captured from iron mountain.  running capilaries at the moment.  Should be exciting.  FISH showed some diatoms too, so we'll see where this goes. . .   though they utilize uracil :-/

Currently hold a double major in Business (Marketing) and English with a history minor (Early Modern Britain) at the University of Calgary.  I am probably going to drop the business major, i hate how they try and make you a cookie cutter bound for a cubicle and middle management.  I hate everyone's attitudes and how it matters what shirt your wearing etc in class, its bullshit and not really that useful anymore here as they are so common, my buddy who is a band manager has a zoology degree, while another buddy with a Bcomm was on welfare for a few months. 

Oh and im probably going to go back to school and get my emt and be a fireman lol, or do a masters in English back in Scotland if i can get in.

Biology (wanted to be a pediatrician).  Fine Art (wanted to be an artist).  Art History (wanted to teach art).  ANTHROPOLOGY.  I found my home, and I'm going to get my PhD and never leave college, teach.  Dig in the field, go to conferences all over the place.
