It's unfortunate that the rich seem to get rich and the poor seem to get poorer. I mean even in Canada it's hard for many people to access education. I have been lucky enough that my parents co-signed a loan for me so I could attend school. I worked through out university to try and keep my debt down, though 4 years later it is...huge. Even though I have completed my degree I still have a line of credit and OSAP to pay back. Unfortunately, because of this I will likely not complete a dietetic internship within the next few years (until I have paid of my debt and made enough money to support myself without income for a year...). So that sucks. By the point where I can afford to complete it I might need to take a refresher course too. I could go the route of completing a masters, because then I wouldn't have to start paying my debt back (cause I am in school). But I don't really want to, plus I'm not sure if my marks are good enough (I'd love to blame that on the fact that I worked through out school, but I know other people have too).
It sucks that to become a registered dietitian they make it so hard. I don't simply mean that people have to be smart, but you need to have access to money.
But I guess that's how it is for a lot of occupations, and I could be in a much harder position then I am right now. It still is discouraging though.
Maybe there is something hidden in the system that could help me out. Haven't found it yet, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

So, did you ever go back to completing your dietetic internship?
ReplyDeleteIt is actually possible to maintain interest free status on your OSAP loan during your dietetic internship...not a commonly known fact until you are an intern.
