maharlika,
you're doing the right thing. let me give u an overview. ang minimum wage dito sa ON is $10.25, un ung sa McDo etc... for students actually not a serious one. next the lowest in the food chain (sa healthcare) is yung PSW parang CNA sa US, they get about $14-$18 per hour, pero dapat may BLA or ALS ka, so if you have certificates, bring them with you. PSW lang muna inaaplayan namin dito kasi kakahintay sa assessment na yan. next, RPN mga $22-$24 per hour ang starting, with the salaray, u can buy a car and pay for the rent, u can send your show money back to where it came from (if nanghiram ka lang)... next is RN (now this one is tough, they'll make sure you'll get a hard time qualifying for this. reason: we only have 10 yrs basic education and the canadians have 12). 29 dollars sa homes starting 30 plus sa hospital. yung pinsan ko na kalaro ko lang nung araw, 24 y/0 pa lang $42 per hour! she has a nice JEEP patriot.. anyway, now, since mahirap magpa assess ng RN and kelangan ko na mag work, pinalipat ko ung assessment ko from RN to RPN, it cost me about $470. just think about it... mahirap mag PSW, back breaking work un...
