And so how did you know you wanted to get into engineering when you finished high school?
2:46
You know, to be fair, I really didn't know that.

I originally out of high school spent 10 years working in oil and gas.

But after the third economic downturn, I decided I wanted to do something else that's more insulated against layoffs and job losses.

And when I was picking my major, actually, I just took a notepad and wrote down all the individual topics that interested me.
3:14
Then I browsed through all the majors on the University of Regina website and And picked one that covered all of them.
3:20
And at the time that was environmental systems engineering.

Michael, what was it when you switched? I think you said earlier you had also heard an announcement that this program was being launched?
