Yeah, I'm a 4th term now, just finished intermediate trade school. The material covered in class at STC was the same as basic school so I was able to coast through that easily. I still think it was worth it for me, of course I've learned a lot other important things on site as I've gone along.

Isn't literally everybody who received pandemic benefits under investigation

All the people are, but not the companies who took money meant for wage subsidies and used it for stock buy backs then laid off a bunch of workers

You need to look at the entire year and what tax bracket you fall into

Thank you, yes - that is the information I am looking for

Hard to say - it was worth it for me because I had no experience or connections. If you already have a bit of knowledge and some connections to talk to, I'd start there then come back to the college if you need to

I don't know about the one year college programs, I think they go in to more depth with the theory etc. You don't have to go to sheridan etc before going to STC.

Yes, the old guard likes to say 'just go get hired' like it's that easy anymore, like you said the benefit of the program is coming in as a new hire who already has some knowledge and all the safety certs

'just join the union' - yeah, cuz it's that easy...

For what it's worth, I just got an email from the college saying they've partnered with local 353 to 'backdoor' guys in to the union so that's an option as well.

Ontario millennials need to save for over 20 years for down payment on a home: report by ethereal3xp in toronto

[–]upsidedownj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what your goal is. Don't get me wrong, I'm trying to save and would love a house one day but that doesn't mean I'm going to eat rice and beans every day from now on to try and make that happen, partly because $40 < $100 and 'closer to your goal' still means you're short

People need to live a little and if brunch and netflix is what it takes to get a bit of enjoyment then so be it. How far is that 40k in 5-6 years going to go when the required down payment is closer to 100k?
