| So from what I am understanding, you need a university degree and my college diploma in Canada means jack squat. There is no other supplementary courses I can taken and I am pretty much S.O.L?? |

Dave...from Canada you need a B.A.
Thats all.
Some universities (ex: University of Montreal) grant 3-year B.A.'s and that is acceptable as well.
If you only have a College diploma, then, you just might be S.O.L. indeed. |

Be aware that some recruiters don't know the difference, especially as we use the terms degree and diploma interchangeably sometimes. I had a hell of a time trying to explain this to my friend who's a recruiter, and he has a BA from the US.
By the way, it doesn't matter what your bachalor's is in - arts, science, nursing, theology, law, whatever - but to get an E2 you need a degree that says bachalor's, master's, or doctor(ate) on it. |

I'm 36 and felt the same way you did and got a job here. I guess it took me 5 more years than you to realize I hated dead-end cubicle jockey jobs.
Being unmarried and 36 gets a few strange looks from the kids, but other than that it's not been a problem. Will the hot Korean girls write you off as being too old? Maybe. Can you get a teaching job? Absolutely. |
