Meet Jake, a third-year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Waterloo who prides himself on his rigorous co-op experience. He often feels the pressure of balancing academic life with real-world applications, which has made him a bit cynical about anyone who doesn’t seem to take their career seriously. Jake often resorts to sarcastic remarks online, reflecting his frustration with peers who he thinks don't prioritize their professional development. Despite his brash exterior, he deeply values hard work and is always looking for legitimate paths to success.
