Is it worth spending $10,000 per semester on a college program in Canada when I already have two master’s degrees
Hi everyone,
I’m feeling lost and really need some advice.
I have a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from my home country, but unfortunately, I don’t have any work experience—just an internship. After immigrating to Canada, I completed an MBA (Master’s in Global Business).
Despite my education, I’ve struggled for a long time to find a job in either field. Most biomedical jobs in Canada require hands-on experience and Canadian education, and jobs in business usually demand strong connections or local experience, which I don’t have. I’m now 34 and honestly feeling very discouraged.
I’ve been considering going back to school again—to study the Biomedical Engineering Technology program at Centennial College. But the tuition is around $10,000 per semester, and I don’t have permanent residency yet, so it’s a big financial commitment.
I’m afraid that even after completing this program, I might still struggle to find a job. I don’t know if it’s the right path or just another expensive detour.
If anyone has been through something similar—or works in this field—I’d really appreciate your insights. Is it worth it?
Thank you
