Which path should I take?
 

Hello again everyone!

I have a question I am looking on getting opinions on. I am trying to decide whether or not to continue with university or to enter the work force. I did one class this jan-april and it went pretty well. I got a 75. However it was a struggle. A lot of headaches. It took a lot of time to study since I couldn't go for more than 30 minutes at a time. I am happy with my grade but I am unsure of how well I will do with 2 or 3 classes. I already spent a very large percent of my time studying and I only had the one class.

If I continue taking 3 classes a semester it will still take me 3+ years to finish. I already have been going to school for 3 years prior the brain injury.

What kind of jobs are available to someone like myself and is there anything that has an opportunity to advance to a decent paying wage? I live in ontario, canada. I originally wanted to do something academic but I am afraid that is not a good path for me to be one given the amount brain power a job like that would take

If you have only taken one class so far, I wonder if you have yet mastered your 'new you' learning style. You may benefit from some educational assessment/counseling to help you understand how to learn. Cramming is not a good way for most people to learn. Finding the proper cadence for study could be a big help.

Do you have Vocational Rehabilitation Centers available to you. They could asses you skills and suggest a direction.

You are definitely right. I still have to master exactly how I learn best these days. I just don't want to spend the next 4 years struggling if I end up not even using a degree anyways. Which the whole reason I went to university was to get a job in research which I don't feel I would be able to do the required work anymore.

I do have a vocational worker. I'll be meeting with her in the next few weeks to discuss options.
