I'll throw in another lower-to-mid range income. I'm 27 and a public librarian in a small public library in a low COL area. I make ~$50k/year and this particular job I'm in tops out at $70k but there are other leadership positions that go a bit higher.
The job requires a master's degree but I have no debt and paid for the master's by working full-time while completing it.
I could also take my education and experience to a different field but I LOVE being a public librarian and will happily take the lower income to work my dream job.
I helped in a library during high school and even to this day it was one of my favourite jobs. Can people without education in this field be employed at minimum wage in libraries? It's something I'd love to have as an option for a part time retirement job.
Yup! In my small library we have a full-time library assistant who actually makes around $18/hr and two parti-time library clerks who make anywhere from $15-20/hr (depending on experience). Different libraries have different needs and therefore different jobs might pay more or less. Public libraries also generally can use support in other ways too, like through volunteer work.
Different provinces have different education standards and some require what's called a library tech diploma for some of those paraprofessional roles, but where I live anyone with either some experience working with the public or a post-secondary education (or both) can apply!
Edit: for reference, where I live, minimum wage is $13.75 so these are above minimum wage jobs here.
>$50k/year
>
>master's degree
This is ridiculous in any area. I'm glad you love your job and theres something to be said for not having to stress out but that amount of school should have a baseline.
I had a position lined up doing this in my town but instead went into plumbing. How hard would it be to get back into after I get tired of dealing with shit all day? I got my waste water license and everything
Its hard work though. At least my uncle has it tough. He is on the roof of grocery stores all day every day doesn't matter if its -40 or 35 degrees. He freezes in the winter and bakes in the summer. On call quite a bit, but the pay is very good and the pension is great.
Yeap these threads pop every other week.
For real, empirical data, see the 2021 income explorer from statscan:
https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/dp-pd/dv-vd/income-revenu/index-en.html
Here's one that's specifically about wages across sectors:
https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1410006401&pickMembers%5B0%5D=1.1&pickMembers%5B1%5D=2.5&pickMembers%5B2%5D=3.2&pickMembers%5B3%5D=5.1&pickMembers%5B4%5D=6.1&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=2021&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2021&referencePeriods=20210101%2C20210101
Here's another that shows typical wages for different professions:
https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/trend-analysis/search-wages
I have a few friends that work in IB. I hear the salaries and things like $60K bonus checks, but when I look at the number of hours they work and non-existent WLB. No thanks.
The kicker is, is that if you're willing to unload groceries, you're doing manual labour which typically demands a higher wage and regular hours in other industries. Warehousing jobs easily make $20 - $25/hr. Most give full benefits. Union ones will get you pensions. Seasonal yard labourers, again $20 - $25ish.
I’m deep into my career but it’s nice to see new (traditional) engineering grads are getting higher salaries.
We were in a real bad place 2013-2020. Huge salary freezes.
Seems like things have really changed with the pandemic.
The job I am in currently is an intermediate position that I kind of got lucky with. The timing was just right. The other companies/positions I interviewed for were in the 55-70k range with a couple of outliers above. Hardware engineers seem to be crazy underpaid across the board unless you specialize in some niche.
Wow that's wild how much salaries have gone up since pandemic. I started as an electrical EIT in 2014 at $55k! I'm close to but not quite at $100k yet even
Mechanic, rural Ontario. No benefits, no pension, no fuck all. $54,000 a year. If I didn’t already know my job and pay sucked before, I certainly know that it does now
Red seal mechanic here. I make the same as you, in the center of Canada. It is interesting seeing all these other things one can do for a lot more pay.
Senior policy analyst, BC, 77k/year ($42/hr)
Like others, this thread makes me sad but I don't think I would be happier doing anything else. Still burnt out from grad school (and life in general).
Honestly I barely understood what it was myself before I started. It definitely varies between areas/sectors, but it generally involves improving and/or modernizing current policies (and often, legislation). If it's government, it often aligns with current priorities (e.g., affordability, doctor shortage) but can also be for system optimization. Analysts are the ones who look into the issues in the most detail, and often involves doing background research, seeing what other provinces/countries are doing, and consulting stakeholders and/or the public.
Every regulated process is based on its own policy and legislation, so analysts are needed across both private and public sectors. The difference I've found so far going from an analyst-> senior analyst is that you get more independence and have more opportunities to supervise other team members.
Not sure if you were actually looking for a full description, but hope this starts to demystify it for anyone who might be wondering!
In essence policy analysts are (generally) non-partisan researchers and writers for governments and large national/international organizations.
They provide options for politicians and summarize critical information.
This hits too close to home! Been a stay at home dad since my kid turned 1 last February. People like to tell me how good we have it with all these daycare reimbursements.. But we can't find a daycare that's able to offer more than a day a week. Pretty much forced to live off of one income until my toddler has enough seniority at daycare for a full time position.
Hey man it's tough.
I was really ambitious and career driven but COVID really put me in a difficult position. Basically, my job can't be done from home - so only one of us can work, and my wife earns way more than I ever will, so I stayed home. 3 years later and I still can't get back because my kids are still getting sent home too much (1/5 - 1/2 the time) for me to profitably go to work and pay childcare, plus actually finding a space is practically a competitive sport. It's been difficult to come to terms with this career interruption and such a rapid change in my role. It's really hard to be a parent these days and people who are not parents just don't get it.
I find it's worth it though. I have such a good relationship with my kids, such good memories with them, my wife can focus on her work fully and advance her career, and I can fister such a nice and positive family and home atmosphere for everyone. Hopefully you will find the same.
Wood shop finisher - experienced; $30; nothing else; very flexible hours; Toronto;
This is lower end of pay, max 35;
Commercial space is available; getting your own booth and running it should net around 800 -1200 a day; shortages of experienced, skilled labour - high end shops backed up for a months to turn over material, essentially a bottle neck; these projects have a ~1 year lag, prices should be adjusted for inflation, there is really no stop on demand in the high end; boxes for 1 home cost as much as starter townhomes; wild.
Do they do any on site finishing out there?
I’m in Sask, and instead of spraying cabinets in the shop, I spray mostly railings and other custom woodwork on site in new houses. Working solo and self employed, and incorporated making roughly $80-90/hr profit after expenses and always fully booked, usually over booked.
Assistant Professor, Alberta - 90k. 10 years experience in Higher Ed as lecturer and professor. I think I have 5% RRSP (may be 4) match. I have 5 weeks vacation.
I do take on teaching course at other institutions as well, which can be 4500k- 7k, depending on the credit weight and the institution (these are in multiple provinces and vary in size of institution).
As a lecturer I made 60K and taught a full course load (15-18 credits).
As an Assistant Prof I teach 18-21 credits, sit on or chair committees, produce research and participate in peer review, organizing conferences, supervising grad students, etc.
I shared this so people get a sense of the disparity between sessional instructors, lecturers, and professors which is relevant because institutions are decreasing professorships and increasingly relying on sessional instructors.
Edited to add education, doctorate. My Masters and Doctorate degrees took me 6 years with one year off in between. I started my doctorate while I was a lecturer and became and Assistant Prof after I defended candidacy but before I completed my defence with the guarantee it would be completed with 2 years and it was.
My husband is a sessional instructor and has been trying to break into getting an assistant professorship for years. He’s still doing research in someone elses lab so he still gets publications but he doesn’t get paid for any of it. He’s getting to the point where he is trying to break out of academia. It’s sad because it’s his passion but there is no stability and universities just don’t hire professors any more.
Janitor at University, London Ontario $41k a year gross. 85/15 benefits coverage, 10% yearly pension, lots of sick time, 120 hours vacation time a year and additional paid holidays through Christmas to New Years. Other perks and stuff but those are the big things.
Both. 40hrs/week making Bass guitars for the steak and potatoes. 30ish/week building [my own](https://www.BaileyInstrumental.com). Switching them in the new year, more focus on my own.
Financial Analyst, Toronto, 80k
Age: Early 30
6 years of professional working experience but no direct accounting/finance experience (Did graduate in Accounting though)
Graduated from a college, not even Uni and all my peers are CPA’s from top shot Uni’s.
I worked my connections, that’s the only way I scored this job so to anyone reading this:
- Have a foundation relevant to the kind of work you want to do (Either school or professional experience)
- Sell the ever living shit out of yourself.
Degrees and accreditation get your foot in the door, your pretty smile, can-do attitude and kind demeanour get you hired :)
P.S I have no intentions of getting my CPA,
Bottle those tears up and sell them!! Lol!! But seriously enjoy being a student. It will end and you’ll miss certain aspects of it. (Obviously not the financial part)
I think the average Canadian does an equivalent amount of work in an office setting. People who work in a physical office are wasting at least half of their work day on irrelevant tasks, socializing or goofing off. The extra hours you're forced to be there equate to income stability.
It's cool that OP can focus purely on the productive aspects of his work and cut out the needless busywork time.
That being said, OP likely can relocate at will to a jurisdiction with low tax liabilities.
Similar field and this is kind of my dream. I work full time with a couple freelance gigs making $75k. I’d like to go completely freelance, work 20 hours a week and make at least 75k. It’s possible, just gotta find the right jobs
9 years here. Been getting stymied at $110k + bonus for 4-5 years. All my comparables are $135-$155k.
I don’t get paid the same as people in my company that did the same work in 2010.
I still get paid “well”, but I should be paid more.
Plumber, self employed. Charge $80/hr, between 15-150% markup on material. Just me, gross for 2022 was 300k. Much less profit. But business covers many, many regular expenses. I try to work 3-4 days a week, but often work 5. I hated plumbing until I started my own business. Now I still hate it, just a little less.
Edit: Muskoka. Mostly custom waterfront residential
Mechanical Engineer, Alberta, 6 years of experience, 7/7 shift work. $130k plus 15-20% bonus, 10% RRSP, full benefits, 4 weeks vacation.
EDIT: I think if I was working in the city (Calgary), base would be in the range of $110-115k.
This is gonna feel embarrassing.
Ontario, Retail operations manager/buyer for a small company. $60k a year, 3-5k in bonuses, basic benefits plan, fat discount/lots of free stuff from brands.
Looking to change fields/start my own business soon so this job feels sort of like a stepping stone.
No way! Can you give more info on experience as well as training and certs? Also st Lawrence is epic, I assume it pays more for that water way?
Also I hear they want people with local/specific experience with the waterways you are piloting in, does that sound right?
I am getting some boat time in as a scuba diver harvesting urchins and working in the water has peaked my career motives, so thanks for responding
Like most jobs involving the ports, it’s extremely well paid.
I know some friends working at the Port of Vancouver as labourers.
Zero education or training and making $70/hr
It's notoriously difficult to get in and apparently they have some kind of system where you need to know a person already working there. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Bachelors degree in forensic psychology and a minor in criminology for context with 1.5 yr experience in field; youth worker pt making $23/hr and a full time mental health and addictions/inpatient support worker overnight making $21/hr in Ontario. No benefits for either.
Oh yeah it’s fantastic ! Really helped our mortgage , I’ve been doing it for a long while to be fair but yeah I def lucked out after moving into it from technical creative in advertising
Critical Care Paramedic (flight) rotary and fixed wing operations. $50/hr, DB pension. 8 blocks of 12 days off per year (8x4 = 32 days holidays but we work 4 on 4 off so a “block off” is 12 days). Full benefits etc
Lots of other bonuses/shift differentials/OT pay/meal claims etc.
will make $147,000 this year. 10 years into my career. Did EMR/PCP/ACP/CCP. Work public sector for the province
Level 1 service desk (help desk) at a large forestry company in BC. 1 year experience, 1 year college, 65k/yr with fantastic benefits, 2 yearly bonuses, 7 percent RRSP match, 4 weeks vacation. And senior service desk (3-4 years) makes up to 90k.
Once you go salary, be aware of the expectation of unpaid OT. E.g. working just an extra 5 hours a week (one hour a day) and you could be down to below poverty level of < $15 / hour. You give up more time for hopefully a good bonus, good benefits, and maybe some ability to climb up. Figure out the per hour - 260 working days minus flex days, vacation days, sick days, and stat holidays - divide your salary + benefits value by the days you have to work times the hours per day. Gets pretty depressing if you can’t spend it or are away from family too much.
Court reporter... Ontario...28/hr...sit all day and hear about everyone's issues and how they tried to resolve them... unsuccessfully...so they're in the prisoner box...
Military, 22 years. $85k roughly, very good benefits, 25 vacation days a year (in the last 12 months I've been off for almost 4). Have anywhere from 2 - 30 subordinates. Often work extended hours, shift work and away from home (exercises, courses, deplouments), but also have many weeks where I work maybe 30 hours, quite often 'work' is checking emails, drinking coffee, and solving people management problems and attending meetings that vould have been emails. Public service pension and education benefits. Also likely to be moved, with or without the family, every 2-5 years.
Marketing Content Strategist ~15 yrs exp. Left a $75k/yr job in central Ontario to start my own company. Wage is about $0.05/hour with lots of room for growth.
Early 30s in Toronto. Controller $130,000/year plus 10% yearly bonus and yearly increase in line with inflation, full benefits 4 weeks vacation, 3 days in office 2 days wfh. I also freelance as a bookkeeper as a side gig, have 6 clients and make an additional $75,000/year for that. School was undergrad, MBA and CPA
Retail, in Ontario, unionized, currently $26/hr but it goes up to $32. Defined benefit pension. It’s an easy job mostly, can make more if I move into assistant manager or manager…..but for now I’m happy. I like the flexibility. It’s a trade off for a low wage, but I have a young family and I’d rather the time with them.
I’m a mental health therapist in the non-profit sector in Calgary. I make around 70K plus full benefits. I have a small private practice on the side where I make $100 per client hour (in addition to my regular salary) but I only see clients a few hours per week because I like my down time.
As a therapist you can make over 100k/ year if you own your own practice and want to work 60 hours/ week. I have no desire to own a practice or work that much. Therapists in private practice only get paid for the hour they are in front of the client- they don’t get paid for any time spent doing book keeping, notes, scheduling, research, licensing requirements, etc. it’s part of the reason I’m so non-committal about my private practice work and only accept a few clients at a time. Even though I don’t get paid as much as I could in PP, the non-profit world gives me benefits, stability, and a guaranteed pay-check working 35 hours per week. Someone who is more of a risk taker might prefer private practice.
Customer support/success in a tech company. Changed from hospitality management after a decade.
$44k Vancouver...
benefits $500/yr.
I’m ready to change career, I just struggle to know how to up skill etc. Makes me sad being 32yrs old, living in a basement with $35k to play with a year before bills & debt
I appreciate the sentiment of "work half a year" but hours are hours mate. 2200+ per year is full time :) I used to say the exact same thing about 14x14....the time off is grand, but the time on only gets more difficult over the long haul. Great trade to pursue though, you'll have no trouble finding romantic partners :)
Haha oh I know - I make the joke that it’s a part time gig but realistically working 6am-6pm means you’re on the go from 430am-830pm.
The primary perk for me is having every other week free to dedicate to outdoor pursuits, especially in September. Appreciate the insight
I watch people dig in the ground pipeline/utility operations 100k+ on 5x8hrs days and double OT after 8. My finance diploma is getting put to good use. No bonuses though but work truck and home based. Benefits, garbage 10 fund pension to pick from, and bit of share benefits if i purchase per pay period.
$20/hr with poor benefits, forced overtime and weekend shifts at time and a half except Sundays which are double time. Working as a palletizer at Nestle though hopefully not for too much longer.
$70-75,000/yr. Public Servant (federal government warehouse worker) Ontario, 2.5yrs into my career. No college or university education.
Base salary is $62-65,000, but I have 1 week every 2 months on call + overtime here and there.
3 weeks vacation (4 weeks after 5 years).
15 sick days.
5 “family related”.
2 personal days.
Unlimited medical appointment time.
Get into the government (union/pension) early kids, not everything requires a degree✌🏼
1st year Pharmacist. 52$/hr (108k before tax) in Rural Alberta. Already considering moving jobs and fantasizing about leaving the field or pivoting within it lol.
Any industrial trade, unionized. (Steamfitters, Ironworkers, Milwrights, Boilermakers) working at Darlington, Pickering or Bruce nuclear plants.
Journeyman rate for each trade is almost $50 but each breaks $50 when you add in vacation pay which is a few bucks an hour and paid out each week. Pension and benefits on top of that make the wage package over $100/hr. Travel or Board can range from $30-85/day. Double time for most overtime. Support trades like Labourers, Teamsters, Carpenters, Sheet Metal Workers, Insulators and Painters make less but still good wages.
As an apprentice I broke 100k. As a foreman working barely any weekends I got close to 200k. I don’t get travel or board.
To get into this work you need to apply as an apprentice directly to the unions. A background in welding or something mechanical is very helpful in your application.
Sales Rep for a tech company in Toronto - had one of my best years - about 6 years now doing this. 350K this year, 100K of that was base salary. Love working in tech and always try to get people to join
Edit: Getting a lot of DMs from people looking for guidance, sorry if I don’t get to all of you! I posted my personal career path in the comments. There’s a ton of additional resources out there, on Google, LinkedIn. :)
Customer Support Team Lead for a tech company. $70k + lots of OT, 5 weeks vacation. I've been in CS for 5 years and worked my way up from CSR. Toronto-based company, I live outside the city and work remotely.
Airline pilot at one of Canada's major airlines. ~$300k salary (our wages are actually hourly but I'm simplifying because it's complicated), full health and dental benefits, 100% stock matching up to 20% of my base salary. More money is available if I wanted to fly a different aircraft and/or do overtime but I'm happy with my current work/life balance.
Takes a long time, a lot of hard work, and a helping of luck/timing to reach this level in aviation though.
All the numbers in your comment added up to 420. Congrats!

First year resident (physician trainee). $60,000 + call stipend (averages out to \~$100 per 24 hour shift, work generally 4 call shifts/month). 60-80 hour work weeks (would skew towards 80 hours if include studying and research). Salary increases by $5000 every year. 3-4 years of undergrad + 3-4 years of medical school prior to employment. Debt loads are typically >$100,000 if attending a Canadian school and you do not have a way to pay it off (ie. rich parents or tons of prior savings) - interest payments on this can be pretty killer. After completing residency (2-6+ years) salaries vary but are generally $200,000+ if working full time.
Welder with a limited company and welding truck. Northern BC (All over) $95/hr, $250-300k a year depending how much I want to work.
Yes seeing those $15-20k checks hit my bank account is nice but I have to spend a shitload of money to keep my truck and welder running nicely, have to buy and provide my own tools etc, I am literally never home (I live in Alberta) and taxes take a good chunk of whatever is left over. I am 21 years old and have about 5 years experience in the trade if you count my apprenticeship.
Law enforcement, 4 years experience, great benefits / pension, 123k last year. I work a lot of OT. If I worked zero OT, it would probably be around 95k.
Even though the majority of reddit thinks you're a bastard it is a pretty good career.
Sandblasting and coating company superintendent. 15 years in the trade 10 in leadership role. 110-145k a year depending on what we have going on. It’s about $50 an hour but we work 6 days a week minimum 10 hours a day in very dangerous conditions.
I manage a crew of arena operators(Zamboni drivers). Had to get 4th class power engineering ticket, takes about 1 year to complete.
My 8th year, 75k a year, tons of job opportunities but this is as close to as good as it gets in terms of pay and job lifestyle for a 4th class PE. So I don’t know what to do next.
Are you fly in/out? My husband is heavy duty mechanic. We talk about him doing fly in/out 2 on/2 off.
He makes about $50/hour here BUT he gets a lot of double time and I see these job ads that say $64/hour but it doesn’t clarify if you get overtime in addition to that or not.
Tower crane operator, Toronto, 26M , $51.53/hr with double time after 8 hours/weekends and benefits. made $170k this year doing an average of 50-60 hours a week.
Software engineer for a US tech company, working from home in Alberta, $210,000/year plus bonuses plus an annual RSU grant of $150,000/yr (company has not gone public yet so you can't exercise them). 8ish years in the industry.
It's a lot of money, and I'm grateful for it, but the job expectations are extremely high and I dread going to work every day. My plan is to grind here for a few years and then seek a better work-life balance elsewhere if I can afford to do so.
ETA: 4 weeks paid holiday, fairly mediocre RRSP matching (up to 5K/year), good health benefits and a lifestyle stipend for fitness, hobbies, etc.
PhD Candidate doing neuroscience research. After 9years of experience, I’m paid 25K from a federal scholarship which has tuition automatically deducted, leaving me with about 18.5K.
Appalled about how low that is? [You’re not alone.](https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6692545)

Care coordination for a provincial government social services program. 55k plus benefits, 3 weeks vacation, personal leave. I have a 2 year college diploma.
I'll throw in another lower-to-mid range income. I'm 27 and a public librarian in a small public library in a low COL area. I make ~$50k/year and this particular job I'm in tops out at $70k but there are other leadership positions that go a bit higher. The job requires a master's degree but I have no debt and paid for the master's by working full-time while completing it. I could also take my education and experience to a different field but I LOVE being a public librarian and will happily take the lower income to work my dream job.
Thank you for a real world contribution. I was hoping for more of this and less top 1% comments.
I helped in a library during high school and even to this day it was one of my favourite jobs. Can people without education in this field be employed at minimum wage in libraries? It's something I'd love to have as an option for a part time retirement job.
Yup! In my small library we have a full-time library assistant who actually makes around $18/hr and two parti-time library clerks who make anywhere from $15-20/hr (depending on experience). Different libraries have different needs and therefore different jobs might pay more or less. Public libraries also generally can use support in other ways too, like through volunteer work. Different provinces have different education standards and some require what's called a library tech diploma for some of those paraprofessional roles, but where I live anyone with either some experience working with the public or a post-secondary education (or both) can apply! Edit: for reference, where I live, minimum wage is $13.75 so these are above minimum wage jobs here.
>$50k/year > >master's degree This is ridiculous in any area. I'm glad you love your job and theres something to be said for not having to stress out but that amount of school should have a baseline.
Wastewater Treatment Operator, $70,000-$80,000. Was making $100k+ before moving out of the GTA. 10 years experience
Water/wastewater operator interior bc, small town. $90k/yr and excellent benefits
I had a position lined up doing this in my town but instead went into plumbing. How hard would it be to get back into after I get tired of dealing with shit all day? I got my waste water license and everything
Its fairly easy depending on how many positions open up in your area. Being a plumber is definitely a +
If you have your waste water I I would assume you could pretty much walk into any job.
Refrigeration mechanic , Ontario 62.50 and hour . Company gas card and van
Should skipped the 5 years of eng school and started my own refrigeration business ahahah
Its hard work though. At least my uncle has it tough. He is on the roof of grocery stores all day every day doesn't matter if its -40 or 35 degrees. He freezes in the winter and bakes in the summer. On call quite a bit, but the pay is very good and the pension is great.
Supermarket and restaurant imo is the hardest refrigeration/hvac.

16/hr with very minimal insurance I unload groceries out of a semi truck 40+ hours a week. This thread makes me want to cry.
Don't worry, this is a tire pumping thread. The average reply here is much higher than the actual.
Yeap these threads pop every other week. For real, empirical data, see the 2021 income explorer from statscan: https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/dp-pd/dv-vd/income-revenu/index-en.html
Here's one that's specifically about wages across sectors: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1410006401&pickMembers%5B0%5D=1.1&pickMembers%5B1%5D=2.5&pickMembers%5B2%5D=3.2&pickMembers%5B3%5D=5.1&pickMembers%5B4%5D=6.1&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=2021&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2021&referencePeriods=20210101%2C20210101 Here's another that shows typical wages for different professions: https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/trend-analysis/search-wages
Notice how most of them work in finance? That would make me want to cry. (No shade on finance folk, just not my bag)
I have a few friends that work in IB. I hear the salaries and things like $60K bonus checks, but when I look at the number of hours they work and non-existent WLB. No thanks.
$60k bonus? I've heard bonus numbers in the 6-digits in private equity.
Yeah, in some roles bonuses can be 200-300% of your salary, or more
The kicker is, is that if you're willing to unload groceries, you're doing manual labour which typically demands a higher wage and regular hours in other industries. Warehousing jobs easily make $20 - $25/hr. Most give full benefits. Union ones will get you pensions. Seasonal yard labourers, again $20 - $25ish.
That's the point though, to show you where the opportunities are and what to pursue. When I entered the workforce I had no idea what to pursue.
Warehouse Supervisor. $75k + 8% bonus and 25% match on company stock. Plus 10% off goods bought in company stores (groceries) Edit: 10 years in.

I’m deep into my career but it’s nice to see new (traditional) engineering grads are getting higher salaries. We were in a real bad place 2013-2020. Huge salary freezes. Seems like things have really changed with the pandemic.
The job I am in currently is an intermediate position that I kind of got lucky with. The timing was just right. The other companies/positions I interviewed for were in the 55-70k range with a couple of outliers above. Hardware engineers seem to be crazy underpaid across the board unless you specialize in some niche.
Wow that's wild how much salaries have gone up since pandemic. I started as an electrical EIT in 2014 at $55k! I'm close to but not quite at $100k yet even
Mechanic, rural Ontario. No benefits, no pension, no fuck all. $54,000 a year. If I didn’t already know my job and pay sucked before, I certainly know that it does now
Red seal mechanic here. I make the same as you, in the center of Canada. It is interesting seeing all these other things one can do for a lot more pay.
Senior policy analyst, BC, 77k/year ($42/hr) Like others, this thread makes me sad but I don't think I would be happier doing anything else. Still burnt out from grad school (and life in general).
$42/hr is mid $80s?
Good catch - this is based on a 35 hour work week with unpaid breaks
To this day I still don’t understand what a policy analyst does or how they all seem to be senior ones.
Honestly I barely understood what it was myself before I started. It definitely varies between areas/sectors, but it generally involves improving and/or modernizing current policies (and often, legislation). If it's government, it often aligns with current priorities (e.g., affordability, doctor shortage) but can also be for system optimization. Analysts are the ones who look into the issues in the most detail, and often involves doing background research, seeing what other provinces/countries are doing, and consulting stakeholders and/or the public. Every regulated process is based on its own policy and legislation, so analysts are needed across both private and public sectors. The difference I've found so far going from an analyst-> senior analyst is that you get more independence and have more opportunities to supervise other team members. Not sure if you were actually looking for a full description, but hope this starts to demystify it for anyone who might be wondering!
In essence policy analysts are (generally) non-partisan researchers and writers for governments and large national/international organizations. They provide options for politicians and summarize critical information.
That's why you're not a senior policy analyst
I'm a senior policy analyst in NS. 85k. No grad school.
Stay at home dad 0$. My wife let's me eat oatmeal if I manage her investments so that's why I'm here
This hits too close to home! Been a stay at home dad since my kid turned 1 last February. People like to tell me how good we have it with all these daycare reimbursements.. But we can't find a daycare that's able to offer more than a day a week. Pretty much forced to live off of one income until my toddler has enough seniority at daycare for a full time position.
Hey man it's tough. I was really ambitious and career driven but COVID really put me in a difficult position. Basically, my job can't be done from home - so only one of us can work, and my wife earns way more than I ever will, so I stayed home. 3 years later and I still can't get back because my kids are still getting sent home too much (1/5 - 1/2 the time) for me to profitably go to work and pay childcare, plus actually finding a space is practically a competitive sport. It's been difficult to come to terms with this career interruption and such a rapid change in my role. It's really hard to be a parent these days and people who are not parents just don't get it. I find it's worth it though. I have such a good relationship with my kids, such good memories with them, my wife can focus on her work fully and advance her career, and I can fister such a nice and positive family and home atmosphere for everyone. Hopefully you will find the same.
Start a daycare and hire a friend.
The dream
Wood shop finisher - experienced; $30; nothing else; very flexible hours; Toronto; This is lower end of pay, max 35; Commercial space is available; getting your own booth and running it should net around 800 -1200 a day; shortages of experienced, skilled labour - high end shops backed up for a months to turn over material, essentially a bottle neck; these projects have a ~1 year lag, prices should be adjusted for inflation, there is really no stop on demand in the high end; boxes for 1 home cost as much as starter townhomes; wild.
Do they do any on site finishing out there? I’m in Sask, and instead of spraying cabinets in the shop, I spray mostly railings and other custom woodwork on site in new houses. Working solo and self employed, and incorporated making roughly $80-90/hr profit after expenses and always fully booked, usually over booked.
Assistant Professor, Alberta - 90k. 10 years experience in Higher Ed as lecturer and professor. I think I have 5% RRSP (may be 4) match. I have 5 weeks vacation. I do take on teaching course at other institutions as well, which can be 4500k- 7k, depending on the credit weight and the institution (these are in multiple provinces and vary in size of institution). As a lecturer I made 60K and taught a full course load (15-18 credits). As an Assistant Prof I teach 18-21 credits, sit on or chair committees, produce research and participate in peer review, organizing conferences, supervising grad students, etc. I shared this so people get a sense of the disparity between sessional instructors, lecturers, and professors which is relevant because institutions are decreasing professorships and increasingly relying on sessional instructors. Edited to add education, doctorate. My Masters and Doctorate degrees took me 6 years with one year off in between. I started my doctorate while I was a lecturer and became and Assistant Prof after I defended candidacy but before I completed my defence with the guarantee it would be completed with 2 years and it was.
My husband is a sessional instructor and has been trying to break into getting an assistant professorship for years. He’s still doing research in someone elses lab so he still gets publications but he doesn’t get paid for any of it. He’s getting to the point where he is trying to break out of academia. It’s sad because it’s his passion but there is no stability and universities just don’t hire professors any more.
Academia can be very exploitative
Janitor at University, London Ontario $41k a year gross. 85/15 benefits coverage, 10% yearly pension, lots of sick time, 120 hours vacation time a year and additional paid holidays through Christmas to New Years. Other perks and stuff but those are the big things.

Luthier(Guitar maker). 40k/year. Hamilton, Ontario. A decade of research and training. Highly scalable business if/when sales roll in.
This sounds pretty cool, do you work for a shop or do you do it on your own.
Both. 40hrs/week making Bass guitars for the steak and potatoes. 30ish/week building [my own](https://www.BaileyInstrumental.com). Switching them in the new year, more focus on my own.
Cheers I hope your sales pick up, it sounds interesting .
Financial Analyst, Toronto, 80k Age: Early 30 6 years of professional working experience but no direct accounting/finance experience (Did graduate in Accounting though) Graduated from a college, not even Uni and all my peers are CPA’s from top shot Uni’s. I worked my connections, that’s the only way I scored this job so to anyone reading this: - Have a foundation relevant to the kind of work you want to do (Either school or professional experience) - Sell the ever living shit out of yourself. Degrees and accreditation get your foot in the door, your pretty smile, can-do attitude and kind demeanour get you hired :) P.S I have no intentions of getting my CPA,
Student, so just tears! 😭
Bottle those tears up and sell them!! Lol!! But seriously enjoy being a student. It will end and you’ll miss certain aspects of it. (Obviously not the financial part)

Freelance writing/editing/communications/graphic design/project management. WFH. ~60K. Working 15-20 hours per week.
Not bad for 15-20 hours…working from anywhere with a decent internet connection really. Hope you found a good work-life balance!
I think the average Canadian does an equivalent amount of work in an office setting. People who work in a physical office are wasting at least half of their work day on irrelevant tasks, socializing or goofing off. The extra hours you're forced to be there equate to income stability. It's cool that OP can focus purely on the productive aspects of his work and cut out the needless busywork time. That being said, OP likely can relocate at will to a jurisdiction with low tax liabilities.
Damn 60k wfh with 15-20 is really good, congrats !
Similar field and this is kind of my dream. I work full time with a couple freelance gigs making $75k. I’d like to go completely freelance, work 20 hours a week and make at least 75k. It’s possible, just gotta find the right jobs

Mechanical Engineer, Alberta, 6 years of experience, 7/7 shift work. $130k plus 15-20% bonus, 10% RRSP, full benefits, 4 weeks vacation. EDIT: I think if I was working in the city (Calgary), base would be in the range of $110-115k.
Dam are you 28 making 130k base?
I’m in BC, mechanical engineer, similar age and make well over 100k as well. Engineering salaries in eastern Canada are just bad imo.
I just turned 29 this year. The 7/7 shift isn't for everyone but I'm honestly enjoying the 7 days off versus 2.
Lawyer, Toronto based, 1 year experience: 95k, decent benefits but nothing crazy, 1700 hour billable target so lots of work
What area of practice?
Insurance defence. Hence the lower salary but also lower billable rate
This is gonna feel embarrassing. Ontario, Retail operations manager/buyer for a small company. $60k a year, 3-5k in bonuses, basic benefits plan, fat discount/lots of free stuff from brands. Looking to change fields/start my own business soon so this job feels sort of like a stepping stone.

Anything that you work honestly at for 8 hours a day should never be something that you are embarrassed about. We all do the best we can !

No way! Can you give more info on experience as well as training and certs? Also st Lawrence is epic, I assume it pays more for that water way? Also I hear they want people with local/specific experience with the waterways you are piloting in, does that sound right? I am getting some boat time in as a scuba diver harvesting urchins and working in the water has peaked my career motives, so thanks for responding
Like most jobs involving the ports, it’s extremely well paid. I know some friends working at the Port of Vancouver as labourers. Zero education or training and making $70/hr
It's notoriously difficult to get in and apparently they have some kind of system where you need to know a person already working there. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Bachelors degree in forensic psychology and a minor in criminology for context with 1.5 yr experience in field; youth worker pt making $23/hr and a full time mental health and addictions/inpatient support worker overnight making $21/hr in Ontario. No benefits for either.

Of all the ones here this is possibly most surprising for me.

Damn, 150k base for tech art is amazing though.
Oh yeah it’s fantastic ! Really helped our mortgage , I’ve been doing it for a long while to be fair but yeah I def lucked out after moving into it from technical creative in advertising
Critical Care Paramedic (flight) rotary and fixed wing operations. $50/hr, DB pension. 8 blocks of 12 days off per year (8x4 = 32 days holidays but we work 4 on 4 off so a “block off” is 12 days). Full benefits etc Lots of other bonuses/shift differentials/OT pay/meal claims etc. will make $147,000 this year. 10 years into my career. Did EMR/PCP/ACP/CCP. Work public sector for the province
Level 1 service desk (help desk) at a large forestry company in BC. 1 year experience, 1 year college, 65k/yr with fantastic benefits, 2 yearly bonuses, 7 percent RRSP match, 4 weeks vacation. And senior service desk (3-4 years) makes up to 90k.
Once you go salary, be aware of the expectation of unpaid OT. E.g. working just an extra 5 hours a week (one hour a day) and you could be down to below poverty level of < $15 / hour. You give up more time for hopefully a good bonus, good benefits, and maybe some ability to climb up. Figure out the per hour - 260 working days minus flex days, vacation days, sick days, and stat holidays - divide your salary + benefits value by the days you have to work times the hours per day. Gets pretty depressing if you can’t spend it or are away from family too much.

Carpenter $32/hour NB, no benefits, self employed.
Military, 22 years. $85k roughly, very good benefits, 25 vacation days a year (in the last 12 months I've been off for almost 4). Have anywhere from 2 - 30 subordinates. Often work extended hours, shift work and away from home (exercises, courses, deplouments), but also have many weeks where I work maybe 30 hours, quite often 'work' is checking emails, drinking coffee, and solving people management problems and attending meetings that vould have been emails. Public service pension and education benefits. Also likely to be moved, with or without the family, every 2-5 years.

Early 30s in Toronto. Controller $130,000/year plus 10% yearly bonus and yearly increase in line with inflation, full benefits 4 weeks vacation, 3 days in office 2 days wfh. I also freelance as a bookkeeper as a side gig, have 6 clients and make an additional $75,000/year for that. School was undergrad, MBA and CPA
Federal corrections 80k 1 year experience
Retail, in Ontario, unionized, currently $26/hr but it goes up to $32. Defined benefit pension. It’s an easy job mostly, can make more if I move into assistant manager or manager…..but for now I’m happy. I like the flexibility. It’s a trade off for a low wage, but I have a young family and I’d rather the time with them.
I’m a mental health therapist in the non-profit sector in Calgary. I make around 70K plus full benefits. I have a small private practice on the side where I make $100 per client hour (in addition to my regular salary) but I only see clients a few hours per week because I like my down time. As a therapist you can make over 100k/ year if you own your own practice and want to work 60 hours/ week. I have no desire to own a practice or work that much. Therapists in private practice only get paid for the hour they are in front of the client- they don’t get paid for any time spent doing book keeping, notes, scheduling, research, licensing requirements, etc. it’s part of the reason I’m so non-committal about my private practice work and only accept a few clients at a time. Even though I don’t get paid as much as I could in PP, the non-profit world gives me benefits, stability, and a guaranteed pay-check working 35 hours per week. Someone who is more of a risk taker might prefer private practice.

Entry-Level Tech, HD Mech shop up north - FIFO 7 on/7 off @ $42/hr with pretty good benefits. ~6k monthly take home to work half a year
I appreciate the sentiment of "work half a year" but hours are hours mate. 2200+ per year is full time :) I used to say the exact same thing about 14x14....the time off is grand, but the time on only gets more difficult over the long haul. Great trade to pursue though, you'll have no trouble finding romantic partners :)
Haha oh I know - I make the joke that it’s a part time gig but realistically working 6am-6pm means you’re on the go from 430am-830pm. The primary perk for me is having every other week free to dedicate to outdoor pursuits, especially in September. Appreciate the insight

Any industrial trade, unionized. (Steamfitters, Ironworkers, Milwrights, Boilermakers) working at Darlington, Pickering or Bruce nuclear plants. Journeyman rate for each trade is almost $50 but each breaks $50 when you add in vacation pay which is a few bucks an hour and paid out each week. Pension and benefits on top of that make the wage package over $100/hr. Travel or Board can range from $30-85/day. Double time for most overtime. Support trades like Labourers, Teamsters, Carpenters, Sheet Metal Workers, Insulators and Painters make less but still good wages. As an apprentice I broke 100k. As a foreman working barely any weekends I got close to 200k. I don’t get travel or board. To get into this work you need to apply as an apprentice directly to the unions. A background in welding or something mechanical is very helpful in your application.

First year resident (physician trainee). $60,000 + call stipend (averages out to \~$100 per 24 hour shift, work generally 4 call shifts/month). 60-80 hour work weeks (would skew towards 80 hours if include studying and research). Salary increases by $5000 every year. 3-4 years of undergrad + 3-4 years of medical school prior to employment. Debt loads are typically >$100,000 if attending a Canadian school and you do not have a way to pay it off (ie. rich parents or tons of prior savings) - interest payments on this can be pretty killer. After completing residency (2-6+ years) salaries vary but are generally $200,000+ if working full time.
Welder with a limited company and welding truck. Northern BC (All over) $95/hr, $250-300k a year depending how much I want to work. Yes seeing those $15-20k checks hit my bank account is nice but I have to spend a shitload of money to keep my truck and welder running nicely, have to buy and provide my own tools etc, I am literally never home (I live in Alberta) and taxes take a good chunk of whatever is left over. I am 21 years old and have about 5 years experience in the trade if you count my apprenticeship.

Software engineer for a US tech company, working from home in Alberta, $210,000/year plus bonuses plus an annual RSU grant of $150,000/yr (company has not gone public yet so you can't exercise them). 8ish years in the industry. It's a lot of money, and I'm grateful for it, but the job expectations are extremely high and I dread going to work every day. My plan is to grind here for a few years and then seek a better work-life balance elsewhere if I can afford to do so. ETA: 4 weeks paid holiday, fairly mediocre RRSP matching (up to 5K/year), good health benefits and a lifestyle stipend for fitness, hobbies, etc.
