How to learn online in the middle of a pandemic
– moneysense.ca
About five years ago, Angelo Dodaro and his marketing agency partner were sitting in a bar, meeting with a potential events client. They were pitching their video and photography services when the client mentioned, almost in passing, “Okay, but we also need someone to manage our Facebook ads.”
Dodaro didn’t waste any time. Given a few months to come back with a formal proposal, he dove head-first into online learning, to get up to speed on social media marketing.
The investment of time and money paid off: the client later said it was the best proposal for a Facebook marketing campaign they’d ever seen. Not bad for someone whose formal education was in audio engineering.
Even if you haven’t studied formally in years, the value of doing so today has never been greater. According to Statistics Canada, more than a million people across the country lost their jobs in March 2020 alone—double what some economists had predicted. Even for those lucky enough to keep their jobs, the nature of their roles, their future career paths and what they need to stay marketable may have changed suddenly…

Are the costs of owning a car worth it for students?
– moneysense.ca
Has there ever been a time when you and your roommates struggled to carry grocery bags home from the store on public transit? Did you ever impulsively feel like going back to your hometown to see your family and friends, but had difficulties finding a convenient ride? Was there a part-time job that you wanted to work but couldn’t manage due to the distance and time constraints without a personal vehicle?
For many students, the thought of owning a car can be extremely desirable because of the convenience and freedom it can grant you—but what if you knew how much the car would cost you each year?
As a student who has owned a sturdy 2003 Honda Accord for the last three years, I’ve learned how important it is to have a good understanding of the costs associated with car ownership, and how to weigh the pros and cons to decide if it’s a worthwhile investment or not.
How expensive can car ownership be?
According to Statistics Canada, the second largest expense for the average Canadian household is transportation…
