Hi everyone,
I am lacking of luck in job search/ education these days and find myself in such tough situation. I would really appreciate it if any of you can give me some opinion as a 3rd person point of view.
I graduated from the University of Toronto with a B.A majoring Health Studies and Human Geography in 2014 June. During this 12 months, I spent 3 months for vacation, and 6 months doing courses in order to apply to a Second Entry Nursing Program, meanwhile and the rest of the 12 months, I took on some part-time and temp jobs here and there, as well as applying to jobs in my field. Unfortunately, I have no luck with the nursing program, nor job searching. I did not get a SINGLE interview that is related in my field.
Most of my classmate they faced the same job search issue and switched to other fields, even though I still would like to pursue healthcare as a career, I wonder if I should just go for whatever job in Canada. Recently I received an offer from the Chinese University of Hong Kong for Master of Public Health (MPH), but after asking all of the people around me (who is already in the field), they said they didn't come across anyone with an Asian master in the job market. That comes to a conclusion that either I take the MPH and be stuck in Hong Kong for life, or I don't take it and continue being Idle in Canada.
My dad said I complicated the situation and frustrated myself because it is a simple decision - "if you really dislike Hong kong, why bother to think of going back". And yes, I dislike Hong Kong, the wage, the culture, the weather.. I just simply prefer Canada. But I am jobless here.
People, from your own point of view, what would you do? Go to Hong Kong knowing that life would be easier, or stay in Canada, continue looking for a job and try to do more certification?
A million thanks with your opinion!
