: Hello There!
: I'm writing from Toronto, and looking to move to Vancouver soon. I might be looking at a career change (at 35!) and wanted to get feedback as to the $$success or lack of out there.
: All feedback greatly appreciated!

How's $600 (US) a week sound?
A lot more if you own your own, but you get the headaches if you're not a good manager.
It depends what you call a decent living, the ego feedback that comes with this work has
a value also.
Every day I rise at 3:30 am and after almost 30 yrs I still
look forward to getting the bread started, it seems to renew itself every day...
rather than "oh gawd, not another day of working at this job"
Go for it, stop wishing go fishin.
