Thanks! A few nice points he makes:
"(survey) on young Canadians’ expectations of what they would be earning 10 years after graduation, and what they were actually earning 10 years after graduation. The expectations: Totally in line with Carrick’s letter-writer — about $90,000 a year, with, one would assume, the tailored suits, fancy cars, power and prestige to match.
The reality: $31,648. Considerably less than the self-pitying letter-writer’s $36,000."
