I&#x27;m not familiar enough to speak to that.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.payscale.com&#x2F;research&#x2F;CA&#x2F;Employer=Toronto_District_School_Board&#x2F;Salary&#x2F;Job&#x2F;Elementary-School-Teacher" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.payscale.com&#x2F;research&#x2F;CA&#x2F;Employer=Toronto_Distric...</a><p>An average elementary school teacher in a nearby city makes about $3k less than an average software developer, with around 7 weeks paid leave.
At least one female respondent in another nearby municipality recorded having 10 weeks of paid leave and full benefits. With that, I think that total compensation must be at least on-par.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.payscale.com&#x2F;research&#x2F;CA&#x2F;Job=Social_Worker&#x2F;Salary&#x2F;706c548e&#x2F;Toronto-ON" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.payscale.com&#x2F;research&#x2F;CA&#x2F;Job=Social_Worker&#x2F;Salary...</a><p>Average salary of a social worker is around $15k less than that of software developers in my country. I don&#x27;t know as much about social work. I suspect it&#x27;s good, hard work. I hear that it&#x27;s risky. Benefits packages are mostly ubiquitous though.<p>Of the small sample on this site, all respondents said that they were extremely satisfied with their employment as a Social worker.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.payscale.com&#x2F;research&#x2F;CA&#x2F;Job=Clinical_Psychologist&#x2F;Salary" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.payscale.com&#x2F;research&#x2F;CA&#x2F;Job=Clinical_Psychologis...</a><p>Average clinical psychologist salaries are about $25k higher than average software developer salaries in my country. Likely owing to higher typical educational requirements.<p>Of the small sample on this site, all respondents said that they were extremely satisfied with their employment as a Clinical Psychologist.
