Default Do I need further education?

Hi,

I attend ESL and before 2 months I went with my class to visit George Brown College. We met 2 professors there who told us about their programs and assured us that we will be able to find a job before we finish the college, because they have programs to meet you with future employers and the employers are looking for students with good grades. I need to know is this true, is that the way to find a job in a prosperous company and most of all does it worth it to take a loan and spend the next 2 years studying? Do you think this will increase my chances to find a job?

Well I have a friend who attended college but not the full 2 year course, just a few weekends for 2 months, I believe. He got a license after the course and he found a job as an electrician. I don’t know what is your specialty but it may help you to finish a course or something. He didn’t find his job through the college but the certification helped him, so… you know if you struggle with the job search maybe it will help you J
And I’ve heard that a lot of students work during their last semester for a company in the field they are in, like a coop-student, so it will be a benefit for you, you’ll get to know some people, or they might like you there, you never know.

Yes studying always increases job chances.
There are not many circumstances where I would not recommend studying.

Even if you do it part time, it would be fantastic to have that on your resume

What are you interested in studying? I would encourage you to think long and hard about what your aptitudes are and try to study something related to them. It is discouraging shelling out a lot of money on school and finding out that you do not enjoy it. Good Luck!

Most courses do not cost alot, not at a college or a short course.
You don't know if you try, so don't let money stop you.

Learning is the fruit of life - you won't regret it.
