I mean... it's a bit of a different situation where I live compared to say.... the Yukon. I always go back to the same Dave Ramsey story. A womans husband just finished his degree in some type of surgery. He could make 350k in New York, which is comfortable living. Or he could go to the Yukon and make 850k a year but be stuck there for a minimum of 3 years.

Unlike that story, the money to be made where I live is absolute garbage. Every smart person from this province moves elsewhere to make their money, which is what I'm in the process of doing. Just as soon as I finish my computer repair degree, I'm getting the hell off this island even for somewhere in Ontario or Nova Scotia. Unless you work for the government your screwed. Even the most basic of reception jobs require a 3 year administrative degree..... to answer a phone and book appointments, not to mention the pay is horrible. If I were to stay here with my degree I'd make at most 14 dollars an hour coming out of college. But if I go elsewhere I could make 20+ an hour.
