I am so excited and scared at the same time. I am a stay-at-home mother of a 4yr old boy and a 4 month old girl. Call me crazy for starting this new adventure in learning but I love to be busy and I think I will be VERY busy for the next 18 months.LOL

Welcome to MTEC! Best of luck to you in your studies! I have a little girl who is about 5 months old so I kind of have a feeling of how hectic your days will be trying to fit in some studying.

| Hello there fellow Canuck! Mansfield is located 1hr north of Toronto. Well stuides are still going slow for me with 2 at home. Still in the TT of Session1, augh! My son is at his first half day of Jr Kindergarden and on Thursday he is at school all day, WOW. Now I just have my 6 month old daughter at home with me 2 days a week so I should be able to make up some time now. Happy studies to you. Krista

Hi everyone,
Also a Canadian here, who just started session 1. So far it's not so bad.
Already I'm concerned about getting a job... I don't know how many Canadian grads work for US companies, which is where most of the business seems to be.
Don't get me wrong I know there are a number of Canadian companies but there seems to be a much larger availability of companies, therefore jobs, in the states.
Any thoughts or words of encouragement?

Hi there,
I don't often look at this particular topic, so I just happened to see your post this evening. I am a fairly recent Canadian grad, working since July of this year. I currently have 2 IC contracts -- one with an American company, and one with a Canadian company. I had no trouble finding employment after I graduated, and I have been very blessed to have more work that I can handle!
Just keep studying and make sure you graduate with a really strong GPA.
Take care,

Hello,
Sorry I missed your posting back in November. I pop onto the forum regularly for updates in the announcement and break room threads more than this one, but I am glad to see another Canadian amongst the student roster. I agree with the others about the availability of work out there, there is lots, also the freedom of working remotely allows you to work for either a Canadian or American company. The testing you go through when being considered for a company is where you show your stuff and being persistent in your job search with followup email or phone messages a key asset in being hired. My neighbor has been a MT for 5 years now and has never been out of work with sometimes having too much work being an issue. She works from home and loves it. She has 3 full days a week devoted to work while her boys are in school/daycare, and she manages to work another 2 days with the boys home. We sometimes share the kids to get more work done on some days too. I send mine kids to her and get some studies in, and she sends her boys to me and she gets some extra hours in. You could not ask for a better neighbor/friend and the fact the she also encourages me and helps me see the "real MT world" is so great too. I hope you are enjoying your studies as I am. Currently just got back my Test#1 with a 96% and moving onward through the reading assignments of Session 4.
Good luck and welcome.
