   THANK YOU SO MUCH dishes. This is a very very valuable piece of advice. I will certainly try this though I live pretty far from Bloor. But then you also said I could try other children's rehabs too. I will do that. I am already volunteering at a chil...

   Thanks for your response loriangel14. I understand what you mean about not being allowed anywhere near patients. Will have to think of different options then. And about not addressing comments on legal working age, there are 2 reasons. Firstly, I ha...

   Oh ok. Thank you for your response NotReady4PrimeTime. So doing PSW looks like the only option around. And I can take that up only after 2 years or more. In the meanwhile I am wondering what to do. Should you have any advice on what I could do in the...

   My thoughts exactly. Thanks much :) So keeping this as the base, do you think if I do a course in US over summer of 2015, I can get someone to hire me as a volunteer at least?

    Thank you once again NotReady4PrimeTime. In US the cut off is 16 years. I thought it would be the same here. In this case I will alter my plans then.

    Thank you once again. I am in my 10th standard and 15 years old. So if I wait to do my course after I graduate I will be at least 2 years behind my plan. Next year I will be 16 and can legally hold a part time job. So instead of working in part time ...
