Re: Technician Wages?

["Petem" <petem001@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok lets just say that a house like mine in Toronto could cost 40% more then
in here
mine a split level of 36 X 32 feet with a 50 X 100 feet land,cost me 2.5
years ago 150k

I pay the lower rate of electricity in America,but I do pay for highest gas
price..(here its about 90 cent Canadian a litre)
my pay check is less then 50% of my gross salary but I pay 12 bottle of beer
around 10.50$

That's nice and all that... but there's no such thing as a union down
here in East Texas.  Much as I like what I see at CCQ, I'm not too keen
about becoming a canadian citizen.  I'd rather move back to Germany
where I was stationed.

This also brings up the issue of Cost of Living:  technicians get paid
more in Dallas TX (~ $20/hr) because a 1 bedroom apartment costs 50%
more than here in longview.  Simply put, is $24/hr REALLY more once
you've paid the bills?

I think in the end no matter where you work you will always be paid
less than what you're worth but just enough to keep you coming to work
in the morning.
