And it may be as for other university students sometimes that being in university
isn't actually what they need to do to prepare themelves
to have the job that they'll ultimately going to have
I have a video on here that I didn't show you of a woman with
Aspergers from the UK who went to univeristy struggled through university
Had a really tough experience. Got through, you know
managed and eventually to get through and realized afterwards that what she really
loves is driving. Right? And she has now become
the best, no kidding, the best
highest award driving instructor in the UK
Right? And she didn't have to go to university to do that but she's got
like awards of the yinyang for being the best driving instructor
and the really cool thing is she is now teaching other people of Aspergers
how to drive cars. Right? Which if you can imagine is a
really difficult task for a lot of these folks. I mean think of all the executive function
stuff that we talked about and all of the stuff you got to keep straight
Right? So I mean now when she talks about it she's
says I realize I didn't have to go to university at all
I should have just followed my passion from the beginning, I always knew that driving cars
was my favourite to do. Why did I let them talk me into
going to university. So it is important, again back to
it's not our job to make sure people get a degree
at UBC, it's our job, if you will, to make sure
people have really good lives and if half way through they realize
"Oh I don't need to be here, I can go do something else, I need to be at BCIT." Right?
"I need to go to technical school, I really want to be a plumber, I need to apprentice." That's ok
We haven't failed. We've helped people have really good lives.
That's the point.
