Pwc, yup, ill be able to get my bachelor's in 2 years. If you want it faster check out OSU CS online program. You get an actual diploma from Oregon state university and you have the option to complete it in 1 year. However, its very intense and most students spend 60 hrs a week studying and doing projects

How are you planning on doing fire at this age? I thought you had to get into that program at a pretty young age? Seems like a great job though. Helping people while also making a decent living.

EY1, I talked to a few firefighter at the info session in my city, and a lot of them changed their career around mid 20s or early 30s. Those guys are from a variety of backgrounds (teacher, doctor, trade jobs, etc)

FYI, I am a S2 in my mid 20s

Ouch OP. Ouch.

Makes it harder when ur 30+

EY1, good to know that we are not alone haha

I have started a side hustle with two friends. It's Climate Tech related. We have been working with it for the past year as a part-time hustle. We want to take it to the next stage.

My two other friends have a background in consultancy and one of them had a mentor who is really high up at a Big4. He would like to join the start up as a Partner. He seems really experienced and could help raising money, although he does not seem to care about climate change.

What would be a good offer?
