Yeah starting wage is somewhere around $65k a year which isn't too bad plus a really superb benefits package! Also if I get sent to one of the remote northern locations I can paid extra for being so isolated and then get a income tax brake from Canada for it as well so a person could really clean house for a year or two if you don't mind being in a town of only 12 people! (Pleasant Camp had only 12 residents of 2001 and Fraser only has CBSA and Highways Employees only, no businesses or residents)
