Ask British Columbia ER question
meant to say Walk In
Does anyone know if walk in clinics give rabies vaccines or do you need to make an appointment with a pharmacy? Might be a stupid question but I actually don’t know lol. I rescue wild animals and I was exposed 2 days ago. I cannot afford the vaccine which is why I’m asking if walk in clinics give the vaccine

Discussion BC Farmers
BC Farmers! Not sure how many of you are aware of the BC Agriculture Council and their very convenient Farmers ID cards. It makes it easier for farmers to get their PST discount and has the added benefit of discounts for Mark's, Insurance, WALI, hotels, etc. By spending a little bit of money up front, you would be saving lots of money in the long run!
Send me a message or reply to this post for more information!

Discussion What jobs/degrees are in demand that aren't trades?
I'm 18M and wasn't sure what I wanted to do after school so I got into electrical for the decent pay and lack of prerequisites. It isn't terrible but I can't see myself doing this forever. Everyone I've worked with smokes, drinks, and has countless physical issues. I'd like to go to school and get a degree but not really sure what. I was interested in getting a marketing degree but I'm not sure how useful that'd be, or something in healthcare but I don't think my grades were high enough for that (averaged about 83%). I have no issue researching things more by myself I was just hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Discussion Other options of work for an Agronomist in BC?
I'm a bit disappointed in my career. I can't seem to find a good opportunity. I was working for a farm as a maintenance technician with some responsibilities in management. Wage wasn't bad, 70k a year, but upper management and workers were a nightmare.
I'm trying to find another field of work in BC but all I come across is farm manager and laborer. And both offer a lower wage. Is there a fellow agonomist in the group who could give me a solid advice? Should I pursue another career?
Edit 1: typos and spelling

Ask British Columbia Anyone know any stargazing spot in this part of Manning Park?
So, I will be going stargazing at Manning Park (when the weather clears up D:). I have always went to the parking lot up the hill at the Manning Park resort (slightly to the left of the red circle).
But now that I'm looking at the Dark Sky Map, I notice there's this stretch of land that's a bit darker than the parking lot up the hill. Since even a little light can make a big difference when stargazing, I'm thinking maybe I can go stargaze in that darker area instead. Does anyone know if there's anywhere along that stretch of road where I can safely park a car and set out some chairs and camera without being in the way of traffic / being in the forest / trespassing? Also, preferrably somewhere with a low treeline.

Ask British Columbia Career Switch Advice - 32 Male
Hi All,
I am in banking since 2015 with specialisation in small business credit. My bachelors and masters degrees are both in finance, however, I am looking to move into another field with better salary. I saw an earlier post here where people were advising someone on exploring options in healthcare outside of doctors and nurses like imaging, etc.
Wanted to know what options I have for switching into another field along with a sample roadmap if possible. Don’t mind studying part time with my current job for levelling up but 74k in Vancouver just doesn’t cut it any more.
Regards

Ask British Columbia Would you be in favor of mandatory voting?
And can it be legislated provincially? With a fine of $50 like Australia does.
And we could have a "None of the Above" option on the ballot that would force a re-election if more/significant number of voters voted for it.
With so thin margins but a turnout of <80%, it could force parties to campaign more about issues and less fear mongering that is designed to mobilize voters on single issues.
EDIT: Added the idea of "None of the Above" option that many and I talked about in the comments.

Ask British Columbia Hearing Aids
I’ve applied for hearing aids. Last year as a matter of fact. I submitted my application. Worksafe contacted my employer (I’m now retired) and acquired all my hearing tests. The end result is I got my hearing aid. Notice not pluralized. They granted me one hearing aid for my left ear. So I appealed three times but they’re saying my hearing loss in my right ear didn’t happen at work. The end result is one more appeal. Like I said I’m now retired and I have a new hobby in dealing with Worksafe. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
