36 yrs, mba canada west, visa prospects and july intake

[Buina]

Its not that hard to get a job after PG diploma or at least a lot of people do it everyday, especially true for IT/Programming because it translates well across countries. Covid will likely affect things.

You can do this neat thing on LinkedIn, search for the school you want to go to, click on their Alumni option, then you can search people who did your program and see where they ended up.

Following this conversation as i'm in a similar situation, To put it into perspective-: I have a Bachelor's degree in Finance, MBA, work experience 10 years in Finance( all overseas) -i will turn 37 by end of 2020, what are the possibilities of getting university admission in a totally different field i.e Social Sciences. I don't want to crunch numbers anymore - i want to do something i actually enjoy. End goal is PR and yeah just like the posters above my CSR is low.
Any replies will be appreciated

Pretty low. It actually need to make sense.

Good ones cost 50-60K a year

I know but my planning is if I don't succeed in Canada I can come back India and easily resume my life that is why I keep my budget at low.

No matter what you study you are likely looking at around 25-30k a year if you add in travel and living expenses.

Is this possible PG diploma for 2 yrs with first year fee 10-12 k so that I can manage 1st year around 25k

@Sumitmongia18, it's very possible to manage a $25K but you should be looking at a 14k-16k yearly fee for a PGD and besides you might be very lucky getting a paid job in covering the cost of feeding and housing expenses. My advice is to give it a shot or probably opt for a year pgc since you already have a 25k fixed in an account but still you also need to wary of the second year tuition.

Congrats ! I remember being a part of this chat and people discouraging you as you enrolled in UCW. You should make a post in your leisure time of possible on what worked for you as a success story. It will help rest all pre conceived notions some people have in this group.
