Wait until after college
My biggest mistake was attending an American University. Canada is so much cheaper epically if you have Canadian citizenship
mmmmMMmm hello
Canada is only cheaper if you're going in with American currency.
Oh hello there
green guy
I technically dropped out of college though. I outsource my programming skills and such now.
I wasn't learning anything I didn't already know, and decided to invest the money I was paying into other things.
,
I want you to explain your logic on the USD/CAD college price thing. Because it doesn't make sense to me
CAD is 70% of 1 USD
1 USD is 1.33 CAD
A person in the USA could attend a Canadian University with a dollar that can go much further provided they have the money already there. Wheras a Canadian is screwed for money no matter what.
Thats before living costs are considered.
Yeah, so if a Canadian went to an American University (I have duel citizenship so I don't know the international rates offhand) they'd be in even more debt than if they stayed in canada
In that regard, yeah, Canada would be cheaper.
So why would you say Canada is only cheaper if you're going with American currency?
I'm confused I want to understand
oh my harambes grandma died
I didn't think my statement through 😛
Or wait, I might have been lumping living costs in the mix.
Like for business and such, I'd much rather establish company in the USA and earn a stronger American currency than stay in Canada which taxes the hell out of employers, has a weaker currency, has high tax on purchasable goods, expensive housing no matter the province, and high income tax rates.
Canadian healthcare is also terrible.
For serious illness Canadians end up going to the states to get proper treatement.
We're 10 years behind in medical training and equipment.
And because the healthcare is government run, theres no competition to want to get better.
Yeah a lot of my friends in the states don't realize that
The funnier thing is, our healthcare is only "free" because of how taxed we are.
And the healthcare isn't universal throughout Canada either
Its per province.
I have to get travel insurance going outside my own province.
I didn't know the last part
All I know is I love my dad's insurance and I wish I could stay on it until he retires
I don't need a doctor's referral to get a massage on my dad's insurance
I outta try out a massage one day.
So tight on money though.
I give great massages yo. No homo
I dont like being touched unless it's a guy I like or a dog
So I don't go as much as I should
*clears throat* yeah I give pretty good massages
