I don't think OP is the type to consider trades or manual labour.
I don't know if it's because of the high housing cost here but I noticed from my travels that a lot of people in Vancouver want safe/unionized jobs like public sector etc. I don't know if it's cause they need a steady source of income to service the massive mortgage payments but either way I think it stifles risk taking. In Calgary/Edmonton with its lower COL, I notice way more entrepreneurship/changing career/risk taking etc
Another thing I noticed is that people really don't want to leave Vancouver to improve their QoL. "My friends/family here" "The winter is warmer here" is nice and all but you can't enjoy it when you're stressed from low pay.
