Hello HN. I am going to be applying for a postgraduate course in Canada for the fall semester. I am doing so mainly because I want to immigrate there. I want to move to a more startup friendly place and my brother is already settled in Toronto. Also, it will be nice to get a postgrad degree in the process.
I am 24. I am a programmer. I currently hold a Bach of Computer Science degree. But mine is a three year degree which means I am not eligible for a proper MS. My options are postgraduate courses in colleges like Humber, Conestoga, George Brown, etc. I'll get a postgraduate work permit once I am done.
I am confused whether I should opt for technical courses like these:
The technical courses don't teach me anything new at all. Which means it will mostly be a waste. But it will also mean that I can sail through the course and use the free time to do something productive like working on my startup. I also get a technical postgraduate degree on my resume. The usefulness of this is certainly arguable.
But on the other hand if I choose a management course, I get to learn something new and thus it won't be a complete waste of time. I can pick up some skills which will help me on my entrepreneurship journey.
Help me make up my mind? Also Canadians here on HN, any reviews and suggestions for which college to choose?
