Probably because those are mainly Albertan jobs. Not a lot of oil rigs in bc.

I know i'm stretching but there are a few haha.

Those who legitimately have usually don't need to talk about it or pump their own tires.

Makes me feel like you don't and you need a front to make yourself feel important and successful.

I don't see "Translink Executives" on this list either. :fuckthatshit:

Lets not forget cops. 100k +

Hey, BC Ferries just called to ask why you haven't included their execs in this discussion!

Considering the high cost of living and taxes, these numbers are ridiculous. But then again, this is BC we're talking about.

Highest paying jobs in BC wont ever be on any census list, the only other job I can think to compare them to is pharmacists if you know what I mean.

It's because there are many different areas of law. That figure is low for an associate in downtown Vancouver who's been practicing for a bit at a midsize to large full service or corporate law firm. For lawyers that work at smaller firms in the suburbs that salary is quite good.

Musician, 15k a year? How is it possible that one lives?

Hmm, I'm pretty happy being a mining engineer, but like someone above mentioned, the reason this salary is so inflated, is because we have to go where the work is. Its not just the engineers who make ridiculous money doing this stuff, all the trades are making bank and even the clerks make amazing money all things considered. Work is tough though, we work 12-16 hour days 7 days a week 20+ days in a row, only to get 7 days off and be back at it. I spent two 31 day shifts, with only 3 days off in between, and part of that three days was spent travelling home and back to site...

But yes this data is messed, cause there are quality inspectors and weld inspectors and such that make 300k a year. I understand averages but this list seems a little off.

Harvey specter seems to be doing alright. Even mike Ross is getting pay pretty good.

VERY INTERESTING!

Thank you.

Now, I can check my doctor's earnings.

As in many fields or types of jobs or ways to earn income, the best and most established players earn the most, while the newly minted doctors/engineers/technical earners/computer programmers/lawyers/etc. earn the least.

This is especially true for lawyers and doctors where they have to earn the trust of patients/clients and build the customer base from the ground up from referrals.

So, they start out earning nothing/very little, but if they do their job well, they make a handsome amount several years after or longer.

There are no illusions of grandeur.

There are odd stories/exceptions here and there of getting right out of school and earning 6 figure salaries.

But, for the most part, 99% of wage earners start from the bottom and work their way up.

lol

Dr. Parsons, Hugh Macpherson - 2,856,997.00

Gov't eyeing reducing doctors' pay

Top 4 ophthalmologists all in the same office.... :suspicious:
Almost $10M, combined.

The figure for judges is right (my prof gave a similar amount in crim 135 - some of my classmates thought it was high but is putatively justified to prevent corruption). The list is definitely skewed for doctors cause my family doctor (aka non-specialist) brings in around 350k - he's mostly booked though and does not accept new patients.

I think the figure for lawyers is close though but only after expenses (secretary, rent, office supplies, possibly an office manager, etc).

Professors, that's pretty close. Almost all of my professors made between 90-125k (assistant to tenured faculty but not sessional instructors). This doesn't include book deals, etc.

Software engineers (my cousin works for a big company, that's probably close to what he makes 5 years on the job).

Secondary teachers - they make a lot according to that list given their level of qualifications and job duties. Can't say I feel sorry for them :)

Aspiring musicians and singers lowest paid - given the number that could be out there, this is not a shock.

For the bluebook for doctors, is that just billed amounts? Ie. They still have to pay for their expenses?

I find it very interesting how Richmond is the "poorest" city in Metro Vancouver yet has the probably one of the highest concentration of luxury vehicles

Flying instructors earning $104,000? :fuckthatshit: those guys are lucky if they get anything more than $30/hr flight time


edit: Looked up my family doctor
Makes 350,000/yr, drives a beat '91 Accord and only recently upgraded to a new Accord.
Wife drives a Rav 4

mad props for modesty

I found this more interesting:

Strombo | Canadians Earned $1.1 Trillion In 2010, And Other Interesting Stats From The National Household Survey

I can only believe the numbers because they are taking median salaries from down here.

Compare up North and down here salaries, and I bet it almost doubles. Yet I also doubt most guys up North are "voluntarily" going to out their wages. Same with trades that have a day job, and do cash work after hours. They probably only claim the legal money.

Congratulations man I guess I won't be seeing you around anymore?

Can we just round it to Crown Corporation Executives?

Are these gross or net figures? I'm assuming gross...and if so they are lower than I expected.

Pretty sure they would specify if it were net. Whenever people discuss salary, they state gross wages unless otherwise specified.

lol school principles make more money then lawyers.. I doubt that...
