1. Muskoka, Ontario
2. Honours Political Science with Legal Studies and Criminology
3. I guess 4 years tuition would have been about $20,000 or more.
4. Zero loans.
5. Pretty good at the moment.
6. Yes.
7. British Isles mix, but many generations removed from Europe.
8. I'll return someday, I don't know. Could be in two years, could be in twenty.
9. Government.
10. Already done and paid for.
To address you, if you expect to get a good job with only a Bachelor's degree, you are going to be very disappointed. Canada has one of the highest post-secondary education levels in the world. Market yourself, get a better education. To say Canada is not a 1st world country because you can't get a job actually makes me laugh. Every one of my friends got a good job after graduating from university and that wasn't that long ago. |

1. Yarmouth, Nova Scotia
2. B.Sc. Physics, B.A. Music
3. Not entirely sure, total debt accumulated = $47'000CAD
4. Yep, student loans. I'm paying them back, but with a source of income other than my teaching job here.
5. In Nova Scotia? Abysmal.
6. About as proud as I am about being from anywhere. I've never understood the patriotic mentality.
7. White
8. I definitely intend to return at some indeterminate point in the future.
9. With physics and music? Not much. I still can't figure out why the government gave me nearly $50k to satisfy my intellectual curiosity.
10. I've considered various programs: radiology, B.Ed, acoustics technician. I don't think I have the stomach to be a student anymore. |

Good for them getting steady employment after graduating, they are all winners. So you must be going to Korea to teach English for the experience rather than to save up like myself? I noticed that you're from Muskoka, are your parents rich?  When I hear of Muskoka I think of million dollar cottages and real estate.

I've heard that radiology & these other health tech jobs are another 2 yrs. They pay 50K starting which is pretty good after getting a B.Sc. Physics is actually the most prestigious of the sciences. If I were you I wouldn't mind doing an MA and phd and Physics professors get paid the most out of all science professors with Biology professors are at the bottom in salary. But I understand you have been a student for a long time and professor jobs can be competitive.
B.Ed is good if you willing to work anywhere outside Ontario. Ontario is saturated right now to the point that there are only jobs for 1/5 teachers.
