Weak political leadership at ALL levels. I'm starting to think it's by design and not organic. If I'm optimistic, I think.... Weak men create hard times. Hard times Create strong men Strong men create good times Good Times create weak men. When I'm pessimistic, I think it's not all happening by chance.

I'm 32 now and my guidance councillor in HS tried to steer me into Uni when I wanted to go to college. I work in IT now and I'm not happy with it but sort of have the golden handcuffs right now, not thrilled with the idea of starting all over. But I wish I took a trade instead of getting steered into a white collar job because "tech jobs are the future". Now I'm in an oversaturated field , underpaid because theres so many of us so someone else will do it cheaper, and not engaged with my work. I think had I taken a trade then I'd likely be over six figures by now and working towards my financial goals instead of hoping that this year is the year I get a raise.

You have zero idea of trades I hate to say. Usually these higher number jobs at $50-60/hr include they're health package, pension, ect. The actual value it equates to is more along the lines of $36.50 depending on location & trade job.

Skilled trades are where it’s at. I’m an electrician and the apprenticeship is 4 years. Great pay and you can work on your own if you wish. I did the advanced stream in high school and still went the trades route as my dad told me get a degree in something you can get a real job in or get a trade. So glad I listened to my dad.

Trades is a great choice but way too many electricians out there. Apprenticeship now requires a one year free internship just to begin. Plumbing and other trades are in demand and pay way more

I'm assuming when you say your dad said get a degree in something.... You're taking that to mean get a certification. Splitting hairs but obviously a journeyman ticket is not a degree. But I applaud your choice. Now find like-minded and motivated trades in other areas and learn how to flip houses or fix up derelict properties and keep them as rentals. It's not always easy but it will be your pension plan if you can make it through the first 5 years. It also helps if you can find a landlord friendly province... Unfortunately based on what I see... Alberta is one of the only ones. You can mitigate this somewhat by paying a little more and getting a better property and a better area.... Your tenants will self-select. There are no guarantees in life, but you are certainly tilting the odds in your favor going about it this way.

Im glad he said it... we can not focus on or wait for the government to save us we need to make decisions and do it ourselves its the way its always has been and will be.

Former teacher of multiple decades here. When I started we were tasked with creating critical thinkers for the 21st century. No education is more about teaching kids. What to think.... We've moved to the other end of the spectrum. My dad always told me.... get a university degree and you'll be set for life. That can still be true, but one has to be so much more selective.... And a technical college or getting a job is certainly a better option for some kids.... And it's not always about intellect. As you use succinctly put early in this video speaking in the context of careers.... Develop your talents, not your passions. Great Video. Kids need to be given options and then left to decide, With some guidance or pros and cons. They Don't need to be funneled in A given direction... And that goes for a career.... worldview.... values etc.

37:21 where there’s a will there a way is definitely true for young people getting into the market…however not everyone can be the top 1-5% that can get in at these high prices. An adjustment has to be made in the market or the side affects of so few new buyers entering the market will have its own consequences

The existing players will keep on multiplying their properties and young people will have a harder and harder time getting in.

After 2 years in trade college you make 20 to 25 bucks an hour which is good and if you are lucky shoveling etc . Higher wages are for experienced trades with minimum 4 years Experienced accomplished trades whi are actually good which takes 10 years minimum make 40/ hour and up . Self employed can make 100/hour but their can a lot of overhead and stress .

You're right, it really depends on your long term outlook. When I was 24 back in 2015 I did what none of my friends were doing an bought my first condo to live in. Sure, I didn't party as much or do any international travel for a couple years but I can say that if I didn't make the sacrifices and get into the housing market back then, there's no way I could have recently bought a detached house on a single income. Qualifying for financing these days is rough, I put down 50% and I was still having a tough time even with a solid mortgage broker

Our federal government officials need wear the safety glasses while they are wearing hard hats😊!

Not gonna lie youre very wrong about the trades i got into the trades at 17. And have been struggling ever since i started making minum wage for 4 years now after 8 im up to 32.50 and still struggle to actually pay my rent live a decent life and save any sory of money. I found the cheapest apartment in northvancouver and pay about 2000$ a month and make about 4000$ a month after tax

During COVID, I paid my rents and my landlord got mortgage payment deferrals. After COVID, I paid my rents and my landlord got 100 years of amortization. From 2020 to 2024 I got a zero dollar increase in my salary and my landlord's house doubled in price. Now for renewal F. Minister told landlords to see the mortgage charter that means 100 years amortization again. In the meanwhile rents, groceries, gas, insurance all are up, up and up.

Let's not forget that employers are also well aware, they need to sell value... take on Job A, and you will be considered for Job A.2/A.3/A.4 etc... and there is lots of "fabrication of future roles" being sold... just to hire someone who is over qualified for an under paid role. Yes, who you know is key... but is that person actually going to pull the strings for you... when a company already has an internal hierarchy in place... and others are waiting for their strings to be pulled. We are in a "Hunger Games" like Job market... unless you get legal documents signed (have things clearly written out)... a word and handshake is meaningless.

Everyone here bashing the trades is hilarious, I know you're not maintaining your house or car.

Most trades are a 4 year apprenticeship, and you Don’t make 50-70 dollars an hour either.
