本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛我来加拿大的时间比较长。刚来的时候是为了拿学位，后来才决定移民的。
I am not very good at typing in Chinese. To go to bed before 1:00am, I have to type in English.
It took me over 2 months to find a job after my graduation. I really admire new immigrants who started to look for a job and found one as soon as they landed. It might be a coincidence, after I quit my first job and moved to Ontario, it took me another 2 months to find a job again.
From my experience, a Canadian degree gives me a little advantage, but experience is key. I have a Chinese collegue who doesn't have degree here but had years of experience in China and makes more money than me.
But if you ask me if I would still go to school if I were going to start over now, I would say yes. To be honest, although I worked in China for four years before I came here, my real career started here. I didn't grow much technically from the work I did in China. Also, school gave me a "soft transition". I learned English, culture, the way of life in Canada gradually in a much more relaxed environment. It is often overwhelming for a new immigrant to learn everything and cope with a job at the same time.
Of course, not everyone has the luxuary to go back to school, there are bills to pay. But for those who do, I'd say: go for it!更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
