u/TotalOutrageous

So I screwed up and only registered for first semester. I for some reason thought second semester registration was later on. A class I need, ENGR 141, is full, and I can't even waitlist because it says that is full too. I'm already in my second year undeclared because I got a 58 in Calc 2. I known I can still declare without it, or so i'm told, but it is going to delay things even more. Does anyone have any insight as to how to deal with this?

I'm going into my second year of engineering, still have not specified my choice yet. But I keep wondering back to the idea of a trade job. I've been framing houses for 4 years, there's good and bad days, I don't want to do this forever but still like the trades and love the people.

My Family owns a decent sized HVAC wholesale company, my Dad thinks I should get my degree. But the Job market for engineers is terrible, the pay is mediocre, and I'm not sure if I want to sit at a desk.

So I was looking at Gassfitting (Class B, then A) and then seeing where I can go with that, if it's HVAC/Refrigeration or other. The pay is pretty on par with engineering, if not more too be general, and I get to build things.

I'm still in engineering because I'm not sure what I want to do and engineering has that kind of "it'll pay off" thing to it. I am also not typically a fan of most engineers/white collar people. I live in a small town and just about everyone here has a trade.

I've never done this type of work before so if anyone has and has any input for me that would be greatly appreciated.

Looking at one of these right now, 15k km's, some basic aesthetic mods, a slip on and tune, $8500 Canadian. Looks like a great bike but before I consider buying it I was wondering how reliable they are, and also how expensive they are to own (assuming you're keeping up with maintenance).

It seems like a good deal, but don't have experience with these sorta bikes so any help is greatly appreciated!
