In summary, the person is from Toronto, Canada and is considering getting a certification in PLC technician and Robotics technician from George Brown College. They have a scholarship from high school but are unsure if it will help them find a job. They have been out of work for 6 months and are considering going to Alberta in January or pursuing a M. eng or M. Sc degree. They have also been told that there is a high demand for engineers in Alberta.

Hi I am from Toronto, Canada and as its pretty hard to find a job at the moment. Should I get a certification in PLC technician and Robotics technician from George Brown College. I have a scholarship from them from High School. I don't know if they will help me. These are 32 weeks online FT programs. I have been out for 6 months and no jobs yet :(. Or should I just keep applying. Or go for M. eng or M. Sc ?

Sigh ...
