I said my job is top 1% of my age group not my dream job.. count how many students graduate out of university each year. Now count how many of those make more than say 60k per year right off the bat. That is already top 1% of ALL graduates. Add in security and benefits and even more so.

[...]

P.s. I don't understand why some people think I am trolling. Household work being one of the most important and time consuming part in daily life is unimportant? Isn't this something that you guys would check before marriage? If you have a lazy wife who doesn't wanna do any housework would you marry her? What is so troll about that??


If you're one of the 1% why don't you employ one of the 99% as a cleaner. You'll be sorted then.

Here's the PEO salary survey: http://www.ospe.on.ca/?page=mem_comm_sal I'm not a PEO member so I can't access it.

The APEGGA salary survey is free for anyone to view: http://www.apegga.org/SalarySurvey/index.html

It's very, very clear. I have referenced this document dozens of times when negotiating salary, so I know it well. For anyone unfamiliar, PEO is the engineering association in Ontario. APEGGA is the engineering association in Alberta. The average salary in Alberta is higher than the average salary in Ontario, so we cannot draw direct conclusions from the APEGGA study about salaried in Ontario.

http://www.apegga.org/SalarySurvey/11/2010 Value of Professional Services.pdf
Go to Appendix A on page 70. You can see very clearly that a summer student or interning student is considered a level A-. A graduated EIT is considered a levl A.

Go to page 26. You can see the mean, level A for all engineers is $65,936. Similarly, the D9 level (top 10%) is $74,800.

I imagine Toronto will be lower, but I can't imagine it being more than 20% lower. But only someone with access to the PEO website can check that.

Edit: We could easily extrapolate based on a normal curve to find the 1%. But it's better to do that with real PEO data than APEGGA data.

I won't look at your sources because I don't have a clue wtf they are. Instead, I will use the credible Canadian Census data from 2006, since income stats from 2011 are not available yet.


You're an engineering grad out of Toronto and you don't know "wtf they are" in regards to the PEO and APEGGA? You twit?

I just did with the census data. Now get off my dick plz

You are being completely silly denying that making between 50~60k a year as 24 year old is in 1% of the age group, because it INDEED is.


That's what I earned out of school as a 24 year old. The term I used for it was 'middle class'.

On March 30 2012 06:30 ExceeD_DreaM pulled out of his ass:
FYI, if you are going to school in Alberta, you should not be comparing to UofT or Waterloo, we have way more opportunities at first hand and much much stronger fundamentals.


You're right. All of the good jobs for engineers are in Ontario. No opportunities at all for Albertans. Sucks to live here.

Listen, I know your kind. You are the typical, egotistical, inexperienced, loser engineering grad. You have spent the last 4 or 5 years of your life rationalizing your complete and utter social ineptitude by thinking you are better than everyone else. You are the reason the average person in any industry despises engineers and the reason I never admit I'm an engineer to anyone until after they already get to know me.

You are an arrogant, self-absorbed, condescending, narrow-minded, inexperienced twat. You are a dime a dozen. Not the 1%.

You can't go with the "I don't see myself being married until 30, butI know I want to eventually and I can definitely see you as my wife, just not now"? Don't see myself married til 30 but I'm only 22 so....

stepped away from the thread for a bit. wow i was close minded/tunnel visioned my first readthrough. and reading your and chills argument, this thread REEKS of korean

whoever that guy was who said "the difference between looking at spending life with her or experiencing life with her" THAT was the application I was looking for! that ---> the 2% that was bothering you, yes :D

I know she is the one I really love and want. I won't talk much about what happened last night in greater detail,

c'mon, you can tell us if you boned

but we talked more about our future, and etc. I think most of you will be glad to hear that I will likely live with her for about a year before marriage (I will have to get engaged though).

Thanks alot TL for all your advice. The struggles we had past few weeks will really make us stronger. We believe so and think that it was a necessary stage to move the relationship further.

awesome. that is fantastic. wish you two well!

the only question in my head is that, even if he is, what do you gain out of textually devaluing him?
