text: My daughter worked for a short time in Toronto for $CDN 62,000.00 doing medical research and teaching at a university. Same job in the US south (Texas) was offered to her at $USD 106,000.00, no snow to shovel, low cost of living, and a 3 bedroom home on 2 acres with pool, palm trees and tennis court for $USD 230,000, she and her family have never looked back.
