if you make $30 an hr in van....you need your wage to at least double for it to be worth your while up here...or else at $50...you are breaking even..perhaps a little less cause chances are you will either be living in the sketchy part of town downtown in a run down apartment for $1700/month, or a basement suite uptown for $2000-2500 a month.

Want a rent a nicer condo...prepare for about 2700-3000 a month for a decent apartment uptown....
Most people get a living allowance and ontop of that they share the place with 8 newfies.

50 dollars just doing desktop support isn't that believable unless its a 9-5. Then it is.

I'm glad if I get this job. I'm trying to avoid ft mac at all costs.

Also like I said above. A lot of people lie that work in the patch. They exaggerate their numbers alot.
