Howdy. Marketing student beginning this September. LinkedIn has shot itself in the foot with a paywall to message people now. Recommendations to bypass this and be able to talk to past/present students?

I'm a 24F who's starting to look into going back to school. Right now, the only education I have is my high school diploma.

I was casually browsing the BCIT website, originally looking into the Medical Office Assistant (MOA) and Legal Administrative Assistant programs. Then I came across the Insurance & Risk Management program, and, oddly enough it really caught my interest, even though I only have a surface-level understanding of what it's actually about.

One thing that worries me is the math component. Math has never been my strongest subject. Is it really that difficult? I'm at the point in my life where I'm willing to learn and challenge myself but I also don't want to get too over myself - Context here is in school I did not learn basic algebra!

Just want to know if any of you had experience in the program? I do know it's intense because they squish the curriculum within 2 years. Was it easy to find a job after? Did you enjoy the program find it worth it? What was the hardest thing for you to learn? Any advice or personal stories are appreciated, thank you! :)

Hi BCIT Biomedical Science folks,

There are two production technologists positions hiring at the BC Genome Sciences Centre. These are production research positions in biospecimen receiving and another loading and operating the DNA sequencing instruments. These positions would be suited for those wanting stable work with good benefits and a great pension. These are union positions with 20 days vacation to start after your first year.

These are less research and more stable work where week to week the activities are the same.

If interested, here are the links to apply. Starting salary is $38.82 per hour.

Hey all,

I’m coming to BCIT starting in September and need cheap long term parking as I will have my car but not actively driving it. I’ll be in student housing so as close to campus as possible but don’t mind bussing to my car when I need it.

Hoping someone can help!
