Bachelor or Diploma?

I’m currently trying to decide between pursuing a Bachelor’s degree or a diploma for MLS in Canada, and I’d really appreciate some insights from those in the field.

- Is a diploma alone enough for long-term career growth in MLS, or does it feel limiting over time?

- For those who started with a diploma, how easy is it to upgrade or move into higher positions later on?

- Do employers actually differentiate much between bachelor vs diploma once you’re licensed and working?

I’m also specifically considering Ontario Tech University vs Michener, so if anyone has experience with either (education quality, clinical placements, career opportunities, etc.), I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!
