Driver's license in BC

Full UK license for less than a month
Sorry if this is not the place to post this I just can't find any info...

Hey everyone, I wasn't sure who to ask as I'm getting confused online.

I'm British, moving to Canada soon with an IEC visa.
I got my full manual UK driver's license a month ago and it seems like I can't drive in BC because I haven't held my license for 2 years.

I just don't understand the whole swapping for a graduate license and the restrictions are confusing.
My job stipulates that I need to be able to drive on my own, so I'm a bit worried about all this. Do I need to pass another test? The waiting times look so long in BC as well and I don't think I would have time or money to do enough driving lessons to reach the threshold for their graduate programme.

Does anyone know what the rules are exactly? I'm finding hard to contact the ICBC...

Not sure about this career

Hey guys, I'm regretting everything. I'm about to graduate vet school and I am completely lost. I never wanted to be a vet growing up, I always wanted to do physics and maths but for some reason during COVID, maybe I missed being outdoors or panicked at the thought of choosing a career in those fields, I applied to vet school, got in and started. I hated most of the course, barely made it through, took a year out, felt lost and regretful, went back and locked in for rotations, passed the NAVLE and finals and got very good feedback on everything. I'm a hard worker and deeply afraid of failing so I stuck to it because I had a responsibility and a duty of care, I wouldn't want to harm any animal but I am genuinely not interested in veterinary medicine. I care about minimising animal suffering, I care about having pets, I care about farm animals and horses and the environment but I have no interest in medicine or biology.

At school, I was good at maths, physics, philosophy and languages. I didn't mind chemistry. I made an effort in biology and other subjects because I wanted to be top of the class.
I'm not a maths or physics genius, I understand concepts easily because I make an effort to do so, from there, it comes easily. I am just interested, I like doing maths, I like the process, I like sitting for ages and just thinking about one problem.
I tried to incorporate physics into my vet degree, did some research projects on biomechanics of flight in falcons but nothing more, because I felt like there was no point.

I just don't know what to do, I'm not from a wealthy family, I heavily relied on student loans for my studies and feel like I've lost most of my abilities because my level in maths is still that of a 17yo at school. In the last month, I've been trying to relearn, and I feel so stupid having to go back over things I used to find easy. I don't mind it though, it feels safe and I feel comforted in what I'm doing, just upset by my age and my ability.

I just wish I'd gone into maths at 17 like I was supposed to, I wish Covid never happened and I wish I hadn't been so scared of failing in something I like. I compared myself to 8yo maths geniuses and assumed there was no place for people like me who were just good for their age and interested.

Please anyone who has felt like this, can you advise me on how to move forward because this feels like a turning point in my life and I really don't know what I'm doing

New grad vet and I regret not doing maths

Hey guys, I'm regretting everything. I just passed my last year of vet school in the UK, I'm now officially a vet and I am completely lost.
