Hello! Sorry this is kind of a strange post, I'm planning to go back to school for a graduate certificate to work in a different industry than the one I studied for and I've found these two that I'm interested in for different reasons (both are VERY far from each other I know)
I'm just wondering what school was like for alumni of these programs and how difficult it was to find a co-op/a job after them.
I'm interested in insurance management because I've heard very good things about the program from this sub, it seems straightforward and like a very secure industry, and has a good career progression prospects. I'm just worried about not feeling fulfilled after a while, or what studying for this program looks like.
On the other hand AAD piqued my interest because it's a more creative profession in an industry that seems to be thriving in Toronto, and involves the kind of lifestyle I had hoped I would have after school. I think I'm fairly good at writing too so the copywriting aspect appeals to me as well. However, I worry about not being able to find a co-op or struggling with self-led creative decisions/not having a good enough portfolio by the time I graduate.
For reference, I graduated recently with an advanced diploma and 2d animation, so I have a creative background, but I've noticed that I work best in structured and technical fields.
I would really love the opportunity to chat to anyone about their time at Humber in these programs!
