I certainly wouldn't call this greed, you would be establishing a career for yourself with great pay at an early age, its not like your some high school kid that left school for a quick buck.
I think its important to recognize whether you would enjoy being a professor or if you just like the...
I'm sorry but what do you mean by "getting into pro school" Do you mean graduate school?
Look there are times where everyone has doubts and thinks about switching, but there is a difference between doubt and feeling like you don't want to do this subject for the rest of your life. For myself...
Its rather subjective which engineering discipline is the hardest, but honestly why does it even matter? As long as you enjoy the material and take your studious seriously, you'll be fine.
That's highly unusual for upper year courses
This statistic makes no sense, your school has a pretty small population, yet it has hundred plus students in 3rd/4th year physics classes, my 2nd year Optics & waves course didn't even scratch 50, and that's with a population of 36000 students.
That's true for first year physics, and maybe part of second year but after that most physics courses end up being graded on a curve.
Edit*
To the OP, you definitely should think about the enjoyability of you're degree when making a decision like this. There is a lot more to physics then...
I say just be honest with him. In my case I was roommates with a guy first year who was basically nocturnal with his studying habits, but was all around a pretty good friend who I shared many values with. However his habit, combined with the fact that he wanted to live in a really cheap/bad...
There is a big difference between a few companies offering a 12 month internship for the program, compared to every company offering a minimum of 12 months, which is why the PEY program is unique, and more often has a higher average payout.
Although 4 month COOP terms can lead to employment...
Considering what you wrote earlier
The answer would be no. You owe no one nothing, and she was a bad friend for asking you to go out on a limb, only to back out and get upset at you for suggesting that she help pay her share of the fees.
If you want to get a gift for someone it should be...
Unfortunately Ryerson doesn't provide COOP statistics, but UFT does.

The above link shows the placement rates for the PEY program, its like COOP except the employment terms are a 12-16 month...
Oh if you live in Toronto that changes things a bit. Ryerson isn't a bad school per say, its just that its relatively new and not as prestigious as UFT, hence in Toronto a lot of the COOP jobs would end up going to UFT, due to UFT's extensive connections with the industry in Toronto. However if...
It's definitely not a waste to go to any of those schools, well expect Ryerson. However I would highly recommend you do COOP during university to build connections and eventually land a job, otherwise going to a less reputable school with no experience would put you at a disadvantage.
Also...
Well in trying to avoid a fight, you've probably set the stage for a bigger confrontation, considering your reverse heel on the issue. You'll just have to explain to her that you didn't want to ruin her fun but that her behavior did bother you.
If it was only a matter of peer pressure, she...
Well I do agree that smoking marijuana is a deal breaker, but you did tell her it was okay to go smoke with her friends, why did you say it was okay if it bothered you? From her point of view it seems like you've changed your stance on the issue.
You should explain to her that you still feel...
