Being in forestry and being in Vancouver is probably the dumbest combo you can do. You can easily be 80-90k elsewhere and pay half the price for a house and he'd be living a lot better. Forestry jobs in Vancouver takes a big paycut for the priviledge of being in the city, and also as you said no upward mobility in town. All the operations in GVRD and vicinity are small

My friend moved up quickly in forestry and he makes 130k in Kamloops. Yes the industry sucks balls right now, so you have to pivot. There are plants popping up making value added products like engineered timber and big OSB. That's where the money is going to be at in the future as building codes change to allow larger mass timber.

There's not much OT in forestry. I don't think most factory floors don't give a lot of OT anyways except for the really undesirable lower paying jobs.
