I used to work in the oil industry (Alberta) when I was in undergrad. I was offered to quit school and get paid 90k. Thanks god I rejected that offer and went to tech. Most of my friends were laughing that I was taking computing science. They were making 90-130k in the trades. Then the recession hit and most of them are now unemployed or have taken a huge paycut. I feel bad for them since they took out a mortgage and a 70k truck. I'm not angry at them for making fun of my career. I just wish people would respect people's career choice.
