man I will look into it I never thought of that, I finally had my mind set on accounting cause that was really on of the few courses I like in Highschoooll but that doesnt seem bad at all, retail is retail but working for two different companies that run different you can tell which companies treat the employess better, workin for Roots i made , I needed my city job to make what i felt was comfortable, for the FOOT i amke double what I made, like ot keep my options open thanks for the advice much appreciated |

Yes, accounting is fun. And it pays very well. My aunt just got her degree in accounting and is going to be a CPA. |

Wow...wide variety of jobs here!!
I work out of my house, which is AWESOME....i work whenever i want (meaning when the weather sux or i need cash!!!).
I'm an interior designer and I have my own business (w/my roomate), people call us and we go to their houses and for $50/hr we tell them how they should redecorate!!! Pretty easy $$$, plus it's fun!!
I also do contract work for an architect, designing cell phone tower sites......not really fun work, but since I work from home, whenever I want....it's good!!!:tongue2 |

Electrical engineer. I work for a company called Cimtek, we design electronic test equipment for companies that cant test their own stuff lol. The core business is automotive electronics, but the latest customer is Microsoft, we're doing all the test systems for Xbox 360.
Great place to work. Just gota sacrifice weekends every now and then which sucks. |

Very cool! Which hospital do you work at? Alot of the guys that come into the men's shelter make frequent visits to St. Micheal's in the downtown area. It takes a long time to work you way up through the
ranks. I am lucky that I have had the opportunities of working in the areas that I do, because there are not many third year students working in these places. Good experience too. I did some volunteering last summer at Sick Kids Hospital here in Toronto in the Burn Unit. The nurses in that department were very nice. |
