Well it's official, the construction industry out-pays the technology field. I attended a PMI event last night that talked about project management. It turns out that construction project managers in Toronto earn about 20% more than a technology project managers, right across the board from junior-most to the most senior.

Which tells you what you need to know about making a living in Toronto.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
