Should I continue to be employed or go for master of Public health in Asia?

Hi,

I would really appreciate it if any of you can give me some opinion as a 3rd person point of view.

I graduated from the Uof Toronto with a B.A majoring Health Studies and Human Geography in 2014 June. During this 12 months, I spent 3 months for vacation, and 6 months doing courses in order to apply to a 2nd Entry Nursing Program, meanwhile and the rest of the 12 months, I took on some part-time and temp jobs here and there, as well as applying to jobs in my field. Unfortunately, I have no luck with the nursing program, nor job searching. I did not get interview that is related in my field.

Recently I received an offer from the Chinese University of Hong Kong for Master of Public Health, but after asking all of the people around me (who is already in the field), they said they didn't come across anyone with an Asian master in the job market. That comes to a conclusion that either I take the MPH and be stuck in Hong Kong for life, or I don't take it and continue being Idle in Canada.

My dad said I complicated the situation because it is a simple decision - "if you really dislike Hong kong, why bother to think of going back". And yes, I dislike it, the wage, the culture, the weather.. I just simply prefer Canada. But I am jobless here.

People, from your own point of view, what would you do? Go to Hong Kong knowing that life would be easier, or stay in Canada, continue looking for a job and try to do more certification?

A million thanks with your opinion!

Your father is correct. However, there must be more going on than you mention. You have a BA from UofT
and you can't even get an interview??
I think you need some advice from a service that can look over the whole situation and determine what
you need to do to at least get an interview. Hopefully they would first consider your general appearance,
your attire, your grooming and the way you carry yourself. Then, your education and qualifications. Then
your ability to speak and converse with people.
Stop listening to people around you, (other than your father). You cannot know if they are undermining you.
We all know that qualifications and knowledge are supposed to matter first, but in reality it doesn't work that
way. You are judged by first appearances. So if needed, get those fixed first. If you had included a photo,
I could have been of more help.
參考: Knowledge.
