    Vancouver Salaries: Lowest in Canada?

    in Off-Topic General

    Posted · Edited by Dion Phaneuf

    Troooolllll:

    Interesting how last year you were 29 but this year you are 26. That's some serious Benjamin Button going on.

    Nice that you are already making six figures. Why have you been so worried about your lovely communications degree?

    I think my favourite part of this post was that 'afterwards' was spelled 'after word'.

    I thought your whole deal was about not working hard....

    He has been exposed :lol:

    A degree doesn't mean anything if you don't want to put in work. You need to fight and work hard for a respectable job. You aren't the only person with a marketing degree. Lower your expectations and utilize your strengths in finding a decent entry level position.

    I have a masters degree from SFU too but I chose to run the family business (framing company & home building). I make more money in one year than I would have made with my degree in 10 years. But that's an unfair comparsion...our employees make well over minimum wage (unless new/training who are paid around $15/hour). Obviously in trades you got to work your ass off but you will be paid well you deserve it. Even if you're in a higher position (me) I still have to earn contracts, find prospective properties, oversee operations, etc.

    The point is that you have to work hard if you want to get paid. You're not going to be given everything in life on a silver platter. You aren't the only one with a degree and you are one of hundreds or even thousands of candidates for a limited amount of jobs. Large corporations such as Google aren't going to hire you and give you 60k+ starting unless you can prove that you are worth that much. Saying you have a MBA isn't good enough.

    Also you're facts are way off. Lots of people can afford a post-secondary education (with of without help). You chose a popular degree so suck it up and prove that you are the best candidate for a job.

    I believe that you're a troll or just delusional but either way you seem like an asshole (might work in your favor since it's marketing after all). :P

    I used you a lot...intentional (see post above mine for reasoning)
