I sure as hell don't do this for the money. I do it for the lifestyle. I live in a town of 300 people, 90% are Inuit. My fiance is Inuit and I met her here. I enjoy it here becuase I am now invested in this community and plan to stay. I am currently in the process of buying my first home.
Nunavut salaries are the highest in Canada but that is not why I am here.
If money was the only reason people taught, everyone would come to the North. Instead, there are several open jobs waiting to be filled. In fact, there is a job open at my school.
Anyone want a job???
