Yes, I'm the one who is out of touch with reality. The average annual salary for all RNs in Alberta is ~$64k (source); we can reasonably expect that recent graduates just entering the profession will be making much less than that. So I'm highly skeptical of your claim that first-year RNs "will make more than $80 000 in Alberta", and you provided no citation to support your assertion.

You also completely ignored the fact the law and medicine programs in Canada are majority female. As for high paying professions it doesn't get much better than these. I don't know the Dentist stats but I assume they are the similar.
TBQH's video even touched on that -- higher-paying specializations like cardiology and neurology are dominated by men while female doctors more frequently choose lower-paying specializations like pediatrics and general practice. Why do you suppose that is?
