    Would you become a Canadian for $200k/yr. ?

    Simple question, just a yes or no.

    $200k in Canadian, I assume.

    The canadian $ to US $ is about $0.60CA to $1.00US, IIRC.

    that's down to $120k US already.

    then you take out ~60% for taxes (but heh, you get *free* health care and no handguns : ).

    that leaves you with ~$48k US equivalent after taxes. i take home a good bit more than that here in E-Tenn.

    Pretty much.

    Thing is, I've already got a nice job here in Bozeman in a company that's just getting started and has the possibility of getting huge. The pay is quite a bit less, just a bit over 1/5th of the other one. However, I've been working there for over a year now as an intern, got to know the owner and my coworker really well and the way I feel is money isn't every thing.

    money is NOT everything. a job isn't everything either.

    Good to know I'm not the only one that feels that way. The novelty of the offer wore off after an hour and I started realizing that, even if I never do get close to that salary here, I'd still be happier.

    ahh dont move to Canada!!!! LOL

    I agree, money isn't everything, and that is why I am going into LE.

    I am not a stupid person by any means, just look at my avatar! LOL

    After going through college, I have come to realize that I want to do something that will make me happy and something that I will really enjoy. I also what to "serve" my country the best I can. I got into VA TECH's ROTC program, but declined because I was a sissy.

    When you have lots of money but are miserable, the money will not matter.
