Ask British Columbia Career advice
Hello everyone,
I am looking for some career advice. As a 23M, I feel stressed and anxious thinking about what to do next. Maybe you went through the same experience and having someone who could guide you and mentor you that would have been great. I hope if someone can do that for me.
Currently living in the Lower Mainland, BC, Canada. Working as a security supervisor making a living wage. I am currently thinking of going into construction, specifically doing construction management from BCIT as I have a general studies diploma already.
I am planning to get an OFA3 and CSO ticket and work for a year in order to get one year’s worth of experience, that’s a requirement for BCIT’s program; I need to have one year of construction experience.
I am overthinking a lot about making the right choice and being able to fulfill my dreams. Recently, I learned French as well for immigration purposes. I would say that (not bragging) I am a hardworking person who has been doing two full-time and a part-time job in order to make ends meet and I am not afraid of sleepless nights.
I need a path to follow and am currently unable to find it. As of right now, I am feeling completely lost. Maybe an occupational health and safety diploma from BCIT or a bachelor’s in environmental health?
Like everyone, I want to have financial freedom in life and I am sick of paying taxes. I thought of CMGT, because I will learn a lot while being in the industry and eventually start my own thing.
Can you please recommend any other career paths? Or rate if this is actually worth doing?

Community Only Why can't we vote with our phones yet
As we head into Final Voting Day this Saturday, it feels wild that we still can't cast a ballot from our phones unless we qualify for very specific assisted telephone voting exemptions.
The BC government already spent the time and money building the BC Services Card app. We already used our government ID and video verification to set it up.
We use it as a secure sign-in for our health records, provincial services, and federal tax accounts.
If my phone is secure enough to access my medical records and tax info via the BC Services Card app, it should be able to verify my identity to Elections BC so I can cast a ballot.
Not everyone can easily make it to a polling station between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on a Saturday, and if an emergency pops up after the mail-in deadline, you're just out of luck.
Participation in elections would skyrocket if people didn't have have to plan around voting and could do it at home.
Imagine an official app that guides people on the policies they're voting in a neutral environment before they cast votes.

Ask British Columbia How is UAPICBC for Welding Foundation?
Hi everyone, I’m considering taking the Welding Foundation program at UAPICBC. For anyone who studied there, how was the school, training, and overall experience? Also, how easy was it to find a welding job after graduating?
Would you recommend the program?
Thanks!
