TV? That's high cost. I like the crappy looking sign on the side of the road out by the Best Buy north of Yorkdale with just a phone number on it to become a cop.
We have problems with this in my company. We hire a lot of coop electrical engineering students. Then we find out they don't actually know what a resistor looks like, how to solder, or how to use a screw driver and they are basically useless in our department. I got a Bachelor of Applied Technology and we covered everything from programming, electronic design, electronic manufacturing, mechanical design, mechanical manufacturing and assembly, lean manufacturing, project management, etc so it was surprising to me to encounter these guys that had so much theoretical knowledge but absolutely no practical knowledge/skills.
To those that own houses in Toronto: where do you live and approximately how much do you make (if you don't mind me asking)? I thought I was doing alright (I'm not really in trades so I guess this is kind of off topic) and my gf works full time as well in an ok paying job but we're still struggling to find a home we'd be able to afford in a decent area. Then again, we eat out a lot, drink a lot, go on several trips a year, and I own 3 vehicles for myself (although they're all pretty cheap with low insurance rates). Although we cut back on a few other things like we don't have cable TV (just stream).
