Why/Why not Waterloo?
Pros
- Best-in-class co-op program—because no one will hire you without work experience these days
- Lots of similar-minded individuals—I do lots of nerdy things, Waterloo attracts lots of nerdy people
- Intensive program—Because school will be a lot of work, I'll be accustomed to a lot of work before I get a job.
Cons
- Lots of competition—Many students at Unionville want to go to Waterloo, lowering my chances.
- Intensive program—I will not have much social time because everyone will be studying.
- Constant presence of geese—Even though they have become an unoffical mascot, they're still dangerous.
Career Options
- Software—building web applications, game development, industrial systems, internet of things (IoT), etc.
- Consulting—designing electrical systems for residential, commercial and industrial buildings
- Manufacturing—designing electrically-operated machinery and devices
- Telecommunications—designing the circuitry for telecoms equipment
