Telecommunication, digital companies and jobs

There are so many career choices and paths.

Most push for higher degrees and we see often on social media, those with degrees complaining and not satisfied with their education. However, there are many other choices. Let's touch upon technical careers.

I'll touch upon telecommunications. Here is the salary scale of telecommunications technicians.

It's great to see the breakdown and description of each specialization. Most of the time you would see just the mention of the technical career, without much explanations. As if "you are supposed to know about it". A clear explanation is extremely useful for those not involved or familiar with that field.

Salary.com gives an amazing breakdown and explains it so clearly!

Robinhood is cutting about 23% of its workforce. The layoffs equate to about 800 employees. The cuts come just after Robinhood's crypto unit was hit with a $30 million fine by the New York State Department of Financial Services for failing to implement proper security and money-laundering prevention. 

Meta has been quietly testing a new livestreaming platform. The product, called Super, would allow users to host interactive livestreams, engage with fans, and earn revenue. Meanwhile, Facebook is shutting down its live shopping program and shifting its focus to Reels. 

The cross-chain token bridge Nomad has been drained of nearly $200 million in funds in a security exploit.

How to Make an SVG Cut File from a Picture

By: Angie Holden  |  Published: August 9, 2020 

Websites to Make an SVG File

All of the following websites will allow you to make an SVG file from any picture. Some of these are better than others depending on your picture. I am going to walk through each of these in a video so you can see the differences.

• Inkscape – This is free software that you can download for making SVG files.
• PicSVG
• Vector Magic
• IMG Vector
• Cricut Design Space – Yes, you can just use Design Space to convert your images.

All of these websites are free to use and they all offer up a different result. It really depends on the look you are going for when it comes to your project.

How to Convert a Picture to an SVG

On each of these websites, you will need to upload your picture then use the tools to convert it to an SVG file. You can actually watch me use each of the programs in the video below to get an idea as to which you want to use for your project.

=====================

What is SVG file?

Svg stands for scalable graphic vector. 

If you only have a jpg or a png image, you can still use the image for your project.  

All you have to do is convert the image to an svg format. Otherwise, if you don't convert to svg, your prints will be grainy.

TIP: It’s best to use an image with a clear background. An image with a complex background will be harder to convert. 

 

How to Make SVG Files in Canva for Cricut The option to save your design as an svg file is currently only available to Pro account users.
