A career to purse in Vancouver or Canada ?
I am a chemical engineer by profession and it seems that engineering and technical education isn't getting me anywhere in Canada. The socio - economy conditions in Canada are much more hospitable to truck drivers, pizza shop owners, carpet cleaners than they are to technical people. My question is which side career can I re train myself for to be able to have a secure life in this place. As a matter of fact my graduation in chemical engineering is from Canada itself, though I am dissappointed to see that truck drivers, carpet cleaners make more money and have secure life styles in contrast to engineers. I would like to perhaps pick up a side professions that has scope for growth and matches my skill set of being detail oriented, enjoying to a certain extent people interaction (not a whole lot though).

- None of your possible careers really take advantage of your training. For the first last three you really have to be a 'people' person. From your description, that ain't you. [Yes, I know the word is "isn't", but I think "ain't" is better here.] How about something in the environmental area. Securing and cleaning up toxic waste sites comes to mind. I live in NJ, USA. We have more chemical dump sites per square mile than anywhere else in the US or Canada, maybe the world. Perhaps you can take advantage of the new Green movement and help clean up my fair neighbor to the north, eh? If not, do you want to come down to NJ and give us a hand?
