Whenever salaries and benefits come up, I think that the oil & gas people downtown should not be included in any comparisons aside from with other oil & gas (especially people at providers). That industry is so out of whack compared to everything else.
Starting vacations and time off for most jobs outside of oil & gas are 2 to 3 weeks with minimal (if any) flex days. Starting teacher salaries here in Alberta are quite a bit higher than other starting salaries but the cap is also lower than other professions.
