Not everyone can start school and finish without taking breaks. I went to college for two years and then dropped out. I worked at McDonalds and couldn't find another job. After working at McDonalds for a couple of years I realized I didn't want to spend my life working fast food and started school again part time. At that time I thought it was a big deal because I was delayed in getting my degree but really now I can see it was minor in the scheme of life.

I am not familiar with Canada's schools. Is it easy to get grants or loans for tuition there?
