AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the dilemma of choosing a college major between passion and job security. The individual currently enjoys a stable skilled trades job but is considering a degree in Science or Engineering, initially leaning towards Electrical Engineering (EE). Concerns about job outsourcing in EE are raised, prompting a comparison with fields like Medical and Biochemistry, which are perceived as more stable. The consensus suggests pursuing one's passion, as it may lead to greater fulfillment and success in the long run, despite the realities of a global job market where many positions can be outsourced.

I currently work as a skilled tradesman. I enjoy the work and the stability of the job but I'm going back to school for some kind of Science/Engineering degree. I was sold on EE but I've been reading a lot about those jobs being outsourced. I can't really decide on to major in what I like (Physics/EE) or what is here to stay (Medical, Biochem). Any input? Thanks.

Everything can be outsourced... This is a sad fact of life in what is becoming a global economy and job market.

I say go for your passion, because that is what will best serve you in the future.

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
