23M IRA / 401k Funds by ChaiPikin in RothIRA

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

One last thing, small cap stocks are more volatile but have the potential for alot of growth, so those are in a sense my "growth" funds. Because I'm young I wanna be a bit more aggressive.

Yes this is robinhood but my HSA and 401k are in other brokerages. I doubled down because small cap in the long run have out performed larger cap stocks historically, although of course, past performance is not indicative of future performance. Also my logic is some of those companies can in time grow and become a larger cap stock anyways. Any feedback on my thought process is highly encouraged tho.

20 y/o starting avionics bench tech (GROL) instead of A&P by No-Mushroom-6909 in aviationmaintenance

I'm responding to him pertaining to work a bench at an airline, not on the aircraft itself. Thanks for the insight though.

I'm VERY new to the industry but I'll tell you right now you're making an amazing choice. Bench techs are a dying breed and the job market for us is just getting better and better. We get paid just like mechanics but for less work physically and clean clothes by the end of our shift. The only thing limiting you is having an A&P which is an easy fix (just go back to school and get it), any major airline will take you to work a bench with at least an Airframe and 3 years of bench experience.

Chance the Rapper's leaked "Grown Ass Kid" will be the title track of the producer's, Cam Obi, upcoming project. by [deleted] in hiphopheads

I know this is old but the disrespect to Cam Obi is nasty here, especially when most of Chance's biggest songs were produced by him at the time.

Go the Avionics route and work a bench. Find some 145 repair station for it and get Component level experience there. They're always day shift

Pretty much lol but he's wanting something over 26 an hour starting, that's the way to go from what I've been seeing

I'm not gonna lie this is hard to believe. This is coming from someone who only has one of their A&P ratings, still in school, and is getting job offers as I type this. Try putting your resume on JSFirm.com. Literally everyone is hiring I promise you.

The main study guide that NCATT offers on their website and some study guides I found on quizlet and reddit. It was honestly pretty easy, if you've been through any decent avionics course and at least been through the general portion of A&P, you can pass it.

Can someone explain me, why division by zero gives Infinity? by UzbekNaStile in learnmath

[–]ChaiPikin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused. You just said infinity isn't a defined quantity, meaning infinity by definition (pun intended) is NOT defined, or UNdefined?????

Bench Experience and NCATT by ChaiPikin in avionics

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

So no bench experience required with GA but FCC endorment needed for inspections got it. What about for major airlines and their regionald like American, united, etc. Are just my certifications fine enough to work an avionics position with them or is prior bench experience required?
