Construction, finance, nursing,engineering, and a few in public sector jobs.

Amongst my fiancé's friends though, a lot of them have carved out good livings in Vancouver starting their own companies in things like consulting, clothing, etc. hell even yoga studios and things of the like. Most of them are kind of the yuppy Vancouver milenials with huge social circles, but it's amazing how many of them (many who you would never expect to have the know-how to do well on their own) have developed nice little niches for themselves.

Most of my own personal friends however don't have too much experience traveling outside of North America so I think it would be too drastic of a change for them to uproot anyways, but as you said, they also work in industries which may be hard to relocate to begin with. My brother and a few friends who are engineers are lucky enough to make a good living and travel a bunch for their work already, so there's not much incentive to make slightly more money and go elsewhere
