If you're on salary and working 50 hours a week for $75g, then that's your problem, not theirs. That's a supply and demand issue. Don't drag another profession down because yours doesn't compensate enough.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

No, I was saying it is incorrect to say a teacher make $XXXX per year. You need to say they make $XXXXX per 9 months or whatever. or they make $XXXXXX * 1.3 per year.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I had a job posting up that needed minimum 3 years experience and we were offering 3 days a week at $30/hr and got plenty of 8-10 year techs with good references applying.
New engineering grads we hired 2 for less than that.

That's still their income per year, regardless of how much they've actually worked.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
A rigpig earning $200k in 9 months, while enjoying a 3 month shutdown, still makes $200k a year (except they get EI as well, while teachers don't)
Well, back when the rigs were busy, they'd work 14 or 21 13 hour days in a row to get 4 or 7 off. So in those 9 months they'd work a year's worth of hours.
Rigpigs in 10 years probably make less than teachers in total compensation.

Not actually relevant, but for a short while I was the company expert on how many days we could work the field guys and how few days off. It got silly and we did not get great results. People do some crazy stupid shit after the third week....

Total compensation I'd 100% agree. Hourly they probably make similar wage.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm sure there's some positions that still pay really well, but those are few and far between now.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I do know for a fact many of those companies have had large pay cuts, so they're a lot closer to the $100K mark than than the $150K now.
I still paid insurance insurance premiums while I was a sub. Only when you are on a fulltime contract greater than a month does one get the better plan and even that only covers 70%, its basically the same as a normal drug plan...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Which might add up to two months. After school is out there is work to be done (and meetings) for a week or two, and prior to school starting there is classroom setup for a week, plus lesson planning (at least for my sister who teaches grade 1; supposed to be one of the most intensive and hardest). She put in 60-70 hours a week pre-COVID and puts in more now. When I talked to her mid-October, she said she hadn't even been to bed before midnight since school started. Not to mention that she has always had to pay for a lot of supplies out-of-pocket. Of course, some of that depends on whether a teacher actually cares or not. And, of course, there are union dues ugh.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Having said all that, I think they get fairly compensated, but it isn't quite as good as everyone thinks, grade dependent, of course.
Other than that, as someone who has been looking for work for almost 5 years, I have come across a number of city jobs that only required a GED, a few obscure courses from who-knows-where, and minimal experience, either starting at or with the high end of the scale, paying more than I ever made doing mechanical design and drafting during the good years of O&G. Ridiculous.
Here is one now:
"As an Electronic Surveillance Interceptor, you will evaluate and prioritize information obtained from private communications of suspects collected through lawful telephone wiretaps. You will also compile details to create character profiles for investigators and accumulate a directory of names, numbers and addresses associated with each investigation. Specific duties include:

Research and document character profiles; accumulate and maintain directories of names, numbers and addresses associated with each investigation.
Monitor various forms of communication (for example: telephone based dialled number recorders, geographical mapping software) to track and relay intelligence.
Research police databases to provide investigative support as needed; identify and report system hardware/software deficiencies, appear as Crown witness as required.
Qualifications
High School diploma or equivalency (e.g. GED) and job-related coursework in Communications, Justice Studies or related areas.
3 years of experience in a police or security environment.
Intermediate level of Microsoft Office Suite is required.
General knowledge of police investigations or court processes would be an asset.
Be able to achieve results that make the best use of time and resources. Strong communication skills with the ability to work in a team environment. Have relationship building skills and remain calm in stressful situations.

I am over-qualified but just don't have the experience. Otherwise, I would jump at a chance like this.
Well there's your problem right there, you paid insurance on your insurance.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Rates are definitely way down. If you can even get the work (which there are hundreds of people with more experience than you also fighting for it), I'd say easily 25% less than two years ago, in a lot of cases, 35%+.
Extraslow doesn't paint an exactly bleak picture though. His rates work out to $60k/year to start, presumably with some sort of benefits and RRSP matching. That's not awful, and is generally inline with what I saw back in the early 2010's. I know a decade in, I am way below where I expected to be.
CPS has an extremely poor reputation in terms of work environment, not surprised that they have to pay such compensation.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Oops, see not an Engrish teacher here haha. No but seriously we still have premiums, been like that for at least 10 years now. Subs especially, cause they can't even choose to opt out of the blue cross heath plan which they are REQUIRED to pay for regardless of whether or not they actually work.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.
