<p>there are only two universities in canada offering this major + I know I will end up getting paid a lot lesser working in Canada compared to US + the income taxes in Canada are really really high.
so, I may end up getting paid very much less working in canada , but since I want to work in canada only ,
-will it be advisable to get the particular degree from a canadian university which I know will be much less prestigious than a one in US where theres a university even ranked first in the world for this major-yeah chances are that I might not be accepted to that university but many of the world's exceptional universities for this major are in US.
-or should I go to US for the degree and then try to get a job in Canada.</p>
<p>--I want to work in Canada only even if I get the knowledge from another part of the world.</p>
<p>--so which one would be a better option ?
thanks for your suggestions and time :)</p>
<p>You’re not trying to get into investment banking, it’s the oil industry. Go to a school where there is oil and you’ll be fine. If you want to work in Canada your degree from the UofC or UofA is going to be just as good or better than one from Stanford. I think you’ll find Canadians aren’t as obsessed with “prestige” as Americans are. One of my buddies here is actually going to grad school at Stanford and I know a lot of people getting jobs with the top oil companies, so you’re really not closing many doors going to the “less prestigious” Canadian University, if you work hard and get good marks the sky is the limit.</p>
<p>Also, you’re not going to be making a lot less in Canada, not sure what you’re basing that statement on. I have friends making 100k straight out of school working here. The taxes are pretty high in Canada but luckily for you they are relatively low in Alberta because of the oil.</p>
<p>hey thanks soooo much for the help that you’ve been giving me right through the day I decided to switch my location of work
and yea, I got your point and I just recollected that ours is an experience-based industry unlike the other one you just mentioned.
so if I am willing to work up there,it might be very much advisable to do what you insisted and after some years , I guess , at least in our industry , no one would ask which school I went to but the number of years devoted to the industry .
so thanks for making my decision easier
thanks again for all the additional help besides just this one :)</p>
<p>What I’ve learned is that you need to rely on yourself to make your own decision. If you do rely on others to help you with your decision, then there would be a good chance that you will regret it.</p>
