The CPS is a brutal workplace, I'm not sure that's enough pay. And woe to be if you're a woman working there.
Agree it's not bleak for those who get a job, in energy or whatever industry. What's bleak is those who can't get a job.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Overall, anyone who's got full time work is pretty damned blessed, and should be thankful, and saving like crazy against the economic implosion that canada will expereince in the next decade.

Oh, yeah, I was agreeing with you, if you are on a full time contract longer than 1 month you get coverage. But it only covers 70% and based on how I just got new personal health insurance as I am not currently employed with any board since my move to YEG; I figure that coverage only accounts to about 1000 dollars paid out per year. Manulife COVERme is like 84 bucks a month now and it covers almost exactly the same as what I had on a full time contractThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

It only covers $70/mo. For everything else there is a healthy health spending account.

Fancy neighbourhood! Parents not abiding by the no visitor parking rule? The most expensive vehicle in the parking lot of the school closest to me is a 5+ year old Audi. No other exotics.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Although teachers often suggest that they work a "full year", but packed into 9.5 months, because they work more than 9-5. Teachers seem to forget that many successful people work more than 9-5.
There was one New Grad position I recently saw at Ovintiv, that was a first in probably 2 years. From what I've seen of people getting hired in G&G during 2017/2018, it was ~75-85K/yr with a christmas bonus at major E&Ps. People had internships and Master's degrees. Miraculously they're all still working. After I finished my MSc. in 2018, I had a mix of 4-month contracts to a year long, ranging from 63k-94k/yr, some a mix of being considered a student (the 94k was a student contract technically if you can believe it).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I recently applied to Golder, and during the application, it asked about yearly salary expectations. Selection choices ranged from 45-50, 50-55, 55-60, 60+. Glassdoor suggested their pay for a Junior/Intermediate was more in-line with $55K, +/-. As I look at a lot of industries, it amazes me how many want a Bachelors's, 1-3 years of experience and <50K year.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If even if I say yes, I'll work for that (and I have), there are 200+ applicants (AT LEAST) you're competing with who likely are willing to work for the same peanuts. Internal references don't seem to make much of a difference these days.
Just gotta chin-up and keep networking and differentiating yourself where you can. Staying positive helps too.

My son's grade 1 teacher drove a shitbox echo to school... But the Camaro SS they drove at the car shows spoke volumes...
I wouldn't drive a nice car to work knowing what kids today are like.
I know many people who keep their lifestyles modest for optics reasons - or often have their fun stuff in Arizona or something. There is almost zero benefit to flexing anywhere, anytime...unless you are specifically in a business that rewards it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
have heard rumours of suppliers back in the good days that had to implement policies of leave your porsche at home when customers are visiting. I graduated in 2013 and have dreamt more of 711 compared to 911's
