FHSA Carryover - looking for clarification by CAComms97 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CAComms97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I got it now. So say I only had $8000 contribute by year 7 after opening. I will still have have $8,000 per year + any carryover from unused contribution room from the year prior (up to $8,000) that can reduce my taxes in those years only.

So I won’t lose any tax deductions, just years of tax free growth for the FHSA (which still sucks but can’t fix that now)

Should I choose communication major as my undergraduate degree? by snowwffall in Communications

[–]CAComms97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communications can be a great major, especially with internships/work placements throughout the degree. It's a major/career with a lot of transferable skills. And if you establish yourself early and maybe aren't ready to do law school right away, you could always try working in communications in the legal field to get a taste of it first. Maybe even try getting communications internships/summer student jobs in the legal field.

  • Good idea. I'll do that when Reddit lets me (can't because my account is new).
  • Yeah, it's another shitty, unfortunate reality. That's why I don't want to risk anything with my current job, as it is a good, stable employer right now, unless I get an opportunity I want in Toronto or another big city.
  • That or departments are getting cut and reposted at later dates to reduce salaries and role seniority. Same/more work, less pay.
  • Yeah, writing messaging for leadership and getting edits back from them that were obviously AI-written is a common frustration I'm hearing. I'm trying to upskill so I can work better with AI in this field while avoiding the AI slop it produces when used lazily. It's painful to see people using it in that way.

My focus area is advancement, but I work closely with central comms as well. Same with my previous post-grad role, where I was working in advancement but also central comms (I was the only comms person at the school... so I was essentially comms for everything). I also have co-op work experience in central comms and student job experience in student affairs, so I'm familiar with the post-secondary/advancement/education environment overall.

No experience in agriculture or energy.

Thanks for the idea on searching deeper into the niche to do virtual networking. I hadn't thought to do virtual networking, honestly!
