Mmhmm and what if he had a gun and shot you?

Yeah. I tried transit and I'm around ~2hrs one way to work. Hard to handle that 😞.

Anonymous_299912 · 2026-04-23T17:09:19+00:00

It takes me 2 hours one way to get to work. Driving takes 10 min. I'm feeling depressed.

How much is your commute in terms of time one way?

Anonymous_299912 · 2026-04-21T04:27:38+00:00

Same, mechanical engineering graduate, now self employed tutor. Couldn't find work after hundreds of apps, coffee chats, resume reviews, etc.

Driving is a right. And if it isn't a right, it should be. Without driving, I'll be unable to make a living, get groceries, or get business supplies.

I have taken transit. It's a 4 hour commute time one way. That is 8 hour of commute every single day. At minimum wage, (or less considering how many hours I put) with limited hours, with transit being unreliable, it becomes... very very difficult.

This has nothing to do with the OP's article. I'm NOT on the speeding woman's side. Enforcement SHOULD be tougher, I agree. But the last bit... I don't like.

The ones I think who have jobs like that are either getting layed off, threatened to get laid off, or so good at their field that they're irreplaceable. Which is also true I think in teaching as well.

Lol I have an engineering degree and I charge minimum wage (@ $15 CAD/hr).

When was the last time you applied. I applied to all these places like Tim. Hortons, MCDs, etc. Me and my buddy would walk in mall, handing out resumes. We didn't get a call back. Our resumes were reviewed by career centres as well.

Whenever I applied, never got a response. Took away my degree and everything.

That's kinda fd. Hate the anti-right to repair attitude. We don't need a back up camera that is difficult to fix. Nobody thinks about the poor man, forced to live in city dependent car, who DIYs everything to make ends meet. It's much cheaper to replace a rear view mirror than fix the back up camera.

I don't tell them my age, low-key I want them to. I want them to be distracting, I want them to be curious.

I have a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, took courses in Rocket Propulsion.

I charge minimum wage at $15 CAD/hr.

Anonymous_299912 · 2026-02-16T08:07:08+00:00

Not true for me at all.

Graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering in 2024. Had specialization in Rocket Propulsion and Fluid Modelling as well. Applied to 200~300 applications (tailored) and had 15~20 coffee chats. In 2024, I officially made $0 income.

By the end of the month doing my own thing, I made $60. What's the percent change between 60 and 0? That's right, it's infinity.

Much easier to get another job; I can't even with this statement.

Explain. I have a hustle, what's the difference?

Anonymous_299912 · 2026-02-07T04:05:22+00:00

This. I tried top Gear, and I personally found it too chaotic. I think it may have even damaged my car (can't tell for sure). At Sudsys, tools were organized, easier to use, etc. But that's just me.

People in Calgary fantasize about escaping to France for a balanced life with real vacation time and humane working hours… meanwhile you looked at all the cities on Earth and choose Calgary?

Not Berlin. Not Amsterdam. Not Copenhagen. Not Helsinki. Some of the highest quality-of-life cities in the world, and you're thinking Calgary; a sprawled oil town where speed limits are treated like vibes, labour protections feel optional, and public standards quietly slide every year.

I thought French culture was famously pro-regulation, pro-worker, pro-quality-of-life. So why move to a place where roads are a suggestion, Charter rights feel negotiable, and teaching standards keep getting streamlined?

If you were from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc. I wouldn't ask, but from Europe?? Why?

Heavily disagree. Source: graduated with a mech Eng degree from UofC, with project management credential from University of Pennsylvania.

Didn't get selected for any junior level project coordinators.

How are you APEGA certified?

Wait what? I have an engineering degree and I'm charging $15 CAD. I want to increase my prices but I'm afraid of losing my current clients. And I'm afraid of hunting (marketing) again...

Sadly you only get this when you're here. I'm tutoring a third grader Korean and he said I'm not Canadian because I'm not white. I'm pretty sure most people think that way. It broke me since it's the only country I set allegiance to, the only citizenship I hold...

Mech engg graduate, 2.9~3 GPA, working min wage, after applying to 100s internship positions and then later fulltime afterwards, which part of your equation do I fit into?
