Moving on after graduation
5 years later and here I am with one exam left on Friday and I’ll be graduating from engineering. No more semesters, no more summer break, no more reading week, it’s all coming to an end :(
I got a job lined up in June and am taking a part of May off to travel, most of my classmates will be moving to the GTA and have jobs lined up too. It’s gonna be really hard trying to keep connections and stay in touch, it’s like when we were all in London that community was just there but now it won’t be (if that makes sense).
I’m excited about what the future has in store but I’m also genuinely concerned. Like if I’m gonna get laid off, if AI is gonna take over, if my salary will keep up with inflation, if I’ll develop the skills to be a competent engineer, etc etc.
For the class of 2026 folks, how are you coping with the transition? Do you have a job lined up? What are you gonna miss the most about your time at western?
