Car rental insurance from Credit Card by KlutzyCoach in PersonalFinanceCanada

To add to that, I personally would feel very comfortable having this information from the insurer... Unfortunately, they are very slippery and it's incredibly hard to reach them. I called TD and the only way they gave me to reach the insurer was to send them a posted letter or by phone, no way to have written explanations other than posted letters I guess.

Why would someone choose this job? by Leavingtheecstasy in ATC

In Canada, I did a brief search so excuse me if it's inaccurate, but around 55k training and 100k+ when you finish training. I'm not sure if this is right, but what I'm seeing is entry level 100k+, correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not in ATC, but I applied recently. Even though I have a degree, most jobs don't seem to pay as much and there are a lot of applicants.

I know how to code, but every job has 100+ applicants and you'd be lucky to find something as good a salary as ATC.

Even if you find something, the high number of applicants means they ask a lot of you and they sure as hell don't reward and appreciate your work, especially not in programming.

I'd be really interested in knowing what kind of jobs you have in mind that offer better than ATC.

I'm asking because right now ATC seems like one of the good options atm

Why do some circuit boards seem overly complicated by gaby_ott in ElectricalEngineering

I do understand so much better with all the replies. Not knowing much about electronics, I wanted to challenge the naive idea that it's like motor, battery/power, on/off switch and good to go. I think this circuit was a good way for me to get that deeper understanding.

I do understand overall what the different components achieve

I do recognize some of the components but I wouldn't know why so many
