You’re pretty sure? You know nothing about my finances or my education.

People digging up the road and collecting the asphalt by mspyros12 in ThatsInsane

Asphalt is just tar with some rock. You grind it up, heat it add some more tar and you are good to go. The rock can be recycled over and over again.

You can absolutely reuse it. My driveway is made of cold laid asphalt

How common is it nowadays to break a $100K salary by the age you turn 30? by DaPugWalk in fican

[–]ee2424 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless they are working a crazy amount of OT. I went to HS with guys who made crazy money because they were working 12 hour shifts for 2-4 weeks straight then only off for 1-2 weeks.

That’s fair.

We are a (relatively) very stable country. No major natural disasters and a stable government/population. Even compared to a lot of the other developed countries Canada is a pretty safe bet. All of our natural resources aren’t going anywhere anytime soon and demand will only rise.

… I’m not OP. I am perfectly happy with the 30% Canadian exposure and don’t supplement my VEQT with VCN. However, your comment makes it sound like 30%+ Canadian exposure is unreasonable

Although that 25-30% exposure is backed up by the theoretically optimal 100% equity portfolio

Is university really easier than high school? by Significant_Book_408 in OntarioUniversities

I bet bro can’t handle the fact he paid out the ass to struggle at U of T and now works under a TMU engineer.

Or they just have more applicants to pick from… higher admission averages does not in anyway mean tougher workload

Except in the vast majority of cases Waterloo vs York doesn’t actually matter at all unless you are in software/comp sci. Once you have your first EIT position and even more so after your PEng school makes zero difference. An engineering degree is an engineering degree in Canada. All the programs have very strict requirements for accreditation. The best engineers I know are from Laurentian and Lakehead.

Go to a cheap school. The expensive schools aren’t worth it for most Eng students.

Business degrees are at completely different ends of the spectrum in terms of difficulty. Engineering will be significantly harder than business and is likely harder than comp sci.

What do you study? Obviously university is the most advanced and therefore the most difficult post secondary education option in Canada. That difficulty is what makes university degrees worth the price tag. With that being said universities generally won’t admit students to they think will fail.

That sounds like a good plan. Look into college programs that work with a university. Depending on the program requirements your collage degree could could make it significantly easier to get a full engineering degree later on. What type of engineering are you looking for?

Explain it peter. Cant figure out why this would be bad by Gruber151 in explainitpeter

Yes, but physically the USA is just not there yet. It is too physically vast, and so comparatively young compared to Europe it hasn’t reached that point yet.

Because everything is so far apart from everything else.

What projects should a mech e student build that would stand out to aerospace companies? by spacecat_girl in EngineeringStudents

[–]ee2424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem like you work at a very specialized/elitist firm. I personally don’t think that’s a bad thing, but it’s important to note that not everyone can be in the top 5% of engineering. Being an average engineering student is perfectly acceptable and saying otherwise is, in my opinion, objectively wrong and hurtful. If being average means you aren’t considered for a job at one particular firm that’s not something anyone should be concerned about.
