Video people could have done a more tactful job, but I found it interesting about the 100 million Christians killed in communist countries in the last 100 years and that it's still going. Isn't that bad?

Sure it's bad.

However, the implicit point of that video is that Jesus of Nazareth must be God because some atheist leaders have killed more people than some Christian leaders. It's an argument made with extremely poor logical form, because--as well as being a form of ad hominem--it operates on the presumption that the number of people one murders is a valid measure of the level of truth contained in one's philosophical or religious beliefs.

That logic is flawed, but the data isn't.

So, which is a better career choice: Electronic Technician or Electronic Engineer?

That's what I'm going for. It's a two year college course as opposed to four. Technicians both repair and operate things; engineers are more like designers.

I'll be the slave driver and coordinator.

So, you really want to be a manager? In what field?

I really do. I haven't decided which field, but I'm very adaptable in the sense that it doesn't really matter which industry.

Being in charge of manufacturing aircraft would be cool.

Nah, not engineering. I don't have any specialist engineering qualifications. I really am more suited to being in management/ office work.

I can get a general grasp of how things work, take advice, and change things accordingly. I am also good at coming up with practical solutions.
