Hey Steph,

Sorry that you're having such a tough time

I can sorta understand where you're coming from with school, I also only have grade 11 math and really struggled with it and now I'm having a hard time figuring out what I want to do.

In my opinion (for what it's worth), I would hold out for what you really want. Even if it means you have to wait a while and save up to upgrade the course, I would do what you really want to do. Degrees are so expensive these days, there is no point spending a bunch of money on a degree you don't really want or that you're just "settling" for. I was doing that (I was also in a history program) and I have now switched to a Bachelor of Administration program through Athabasca University and I know it suits me much better. It's got a Health focus which I love, but not so much that I need all the math that I don't have

I think if you really want to make it work, you'll be able to find a way, you just might have to wait a bit longer.

As for jobs, have you tried applying through any temp. agencies? I don't know what it's like where you are, but here in Ontario, they're pretty popular, that's actually who I got my job with the bank. I worked for the temp. agency for about 3 months and then got hired on as a permanent employee. The one I dealt with was Spherion, if you google it I think they have a webpage.

Try and cheer up, I hope by the time you're reading this things are looking up for you!

Kelly
