  1. Ok so I'm in a situation right now and I really need some input/advice. Long story short, I messed up big time at UofT, was suspended for a year due to a low GPA, took some time off to work and reevaluate. I explored a bunch of different career options and finally decided to go to GBC for a Honours Bachelors of Commerce in Financial Services. Now my previous background was in science/psychology, Psychology I liked and did well in, Chemistry and calculus destroyed me. My issue now is that my parents are apprehensive about me going to a college because they believe that a college is going to give me problems in the future ( Grad programs and hiring people will look at it like a community college degree and not a REAL uni degree) They would rather I go back to UTM ( and have a bachelor in psychology with a 2.5 GPA at most) and be unable to do anything and go back to my retail job after getting an expensive piece of paper from 'the best university in Canada'. I do understand where they are coming from and I'm sure it's not an easy road, but I am going to work extremely hard, I've done my research and I've spoken to professors at GBC and UofT. Does it really matter where I go to do my Bachelors? My only option at UofT is a psych major with 2 minors, I cannot transfer to another university, I cannot study anything else at UTM either. After completing the degree at GBC, I plan on working at a bank as an FSR and getting my CFA exams done. Maybe even applying for a masters program. That is the plan, for now, any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
