Meh this survey really isn't that out of control. The salary aspirations are obviously high. The true number in Calgary is probably closer to 60-70, but it's not as though these kids think they are going to be millionaires. Like others have said a motivated professional/trades person could be making 90 by 30 pretty realisitically.

The less realistic aspiration might be "owning" the house. At 30, most people are probably only 2-3 years into a starter home that the bank owns.
