Alladin,
Please submit your resume to house of commons for PM(Prime Minister) position. You believe in that and work hard. Come back and report to us when you get the job.

Unlike the States anyone can run for Prime Minister of Canada. Good luck, you'll need to fluently speak both French & English though.

Going to be a bit difficult to learn French when the OP barely speaks any English!

I've heard English is one if the toughest languages. So maybe he already knows French and is learning his English now so that he can be prime minister. This is actually one huge crazy goal to take over Canada and be the first person in Canada to earn 100k.

Watch this video before heading to Alberta. It involves lot of money but physical hard work. If you think you can do it, go ahead and earn more than $28/HR , do some overtime and get $100k in a year.

What is PM? is that like AM?
They are the opposite of each other. Like OP and 100k salary; they are incompatible.

Haha, before you earn 100k you're gonna need a bit of an attitude adjustment. People like working with people who are kind/helpful/etc, and if you are good at a job, and working more hours and in places no one else wants to work, you should be set. From how you've acted and talked to people in this post; most of whom are just trying to offer honest advice you got a long way to go. I earn a little under 200 and here's how I got there.

Education - Engineering degree, finished with a great GPA.
Flexibility - I worked in places people don't want to work (northern Canada, Texas deserts, Indonesian Jungles)
Hard Work - I often work 100 hour weeks and sometimes 40-60 hr "days".
Confidence - Be confident in your abilities, know what you want, lay it out for employers. They need you as much as you need them.
Friendliness - Be a likable person, but at the same time push for what you want. There is a fine line between assertiveness and *****iness.

I've been working for almost 5 years, started with a much worse deal, and over time you just become set if you're any

100k jobs are there for IT (Project Management, Directors, etc)

I know 100k jobs exist for senior support analysts, but I am talking about high level IT support, but these are not jobs most can just get a degree and cert and walk into.

That said, if it were easy to make 100k, everyone would be doing it.

Regardless of what area of IT, you need a lot of experience, like over 10 years, more than 75% of it some senior level. 10 years of entry level helps desk won't help here.

Even in the US, 100k is not so "easy" to attain. Yes, there are exceptions, but most of the time, you need to work for it.

Work in IT. Become a contractor instead of full time employee. Most companies pay 20% higher pay because they don't have to deal with EI and benefits

HTTP04 - what's your beef against athangappa? Or are you simply racist against someone with Indian background.

You are being super aggressive directly towards OP and seem to be unnecessarily provoked against every post OP's made.

I dont know who OP is either, and if he/she has mistake, it's good to point it out, but you are just taking it into extreme and being aggressive and judgemental against OP.
