Colleges, schools and careers in Manitoba

More than one million people live in Manitoba, the fifth-largest provincial population in Canada. Its wide open spaces, free health care and education systems, and highly diversified economy make it desirable for many prospective college students. This diversification also strengthens its economy: the unemployment rate in Manitoba in 2010 was 5.4 percent, considerably lower than the U.S. unemployment rate of 2010, which was 9.6 percent.

The province is known for its diversity: It's home to Russian Mennonites, Icelanders, Ukranians, Germans, Asians, Africans, South Americans and people of Caribbean descent. Additionally, there are more than 115,000 people of Aboriginal descent. More than 200 languages are spoken in Manitoba.

You'll find four-year colleges and universities, both public and private, as well as community colleges and vocational or technical colleges. Tuitions generally range between $6,500 and $10,000 Canadian. Tuition fees in Manitoba tend to average lower, than in other Canadian provinces.

The diversified economy of Manitoba gives it strength, which many students find appealing. One of Manitoba's largest employment sectors, manufacturing makees up 12 percent of provincial employment. Manitoba is home to the country's largest furniture, door, window and cabinetry production facilities. It is also the continent's largest producer of busses.

Business services make up another large percentage of employment, thanks to two of Canada's major financial corporations being located here: Great-West Lifeco and IGM Financial. CanWest Global Communications Corporation, one of the country's largest media companies, is also located in Manitoba. Accommodation and food services, as well as health care, round out the top employment sectors. The average hourly wage in March 2011 was $20.25.

What Sorts Of Careers Can I Go Into With A Legal Degree?
Demand for people who work in legal careers is expected to grow faster than average (U.S. Bureau of Labor; Occupational Outlook Handbook). There are three main areas in which you could specialize: community work, administration, or within a corrections facility. Some legal degree training is vocational, meaning that you will receive training for a specific role. A corrections, parole and probation degree can offer you an education suitable for work in a penitentiary. If working in the community appeals to you, then investigate becoming a Law Enforcement Officer by graduating from a criminal justice or a law enforcement degree. You could also become a Paralegal or Nurse Paralegal working in administration; there are specific legal degree courses, which cover these areas.

What Will I Learn During My Legal Degree Courses?
What you learn during your legal degree education depends largely on whether you have decided to follow a specific vocational legal degree or a more general alternative. The following are typical legal degree courses which may or may not be exclusive to your chosen legal degree: juvenile justice, criminal justice, corrections, probation and parole, legal issues, psychology, sociology, police administration, criminal investigation, criminal law, loss prevention, private investigations, investigative techniques, investigative interviews, security systems, staff and line operations within the police force, law enforcement, technical and report writing, American government, communications, and interpersonal skills. You may also learn how to safely handle aggression and violence.
