>Remind me not to emigrate to Canada :-)

LOL! There are many advantages living in Canada. But the salary is not one of them :)

>A close friend of mine is an IT recruiter. She finds that your average, run-of-the-mill VFP position goes from high-30Ks to about 50K max. However, for every ten of those, there is one offer where extreme experience is required and the starting low point for those positions is about $75K.

I agree with these figures. I still didn't see the 75K$ ones, however.

>And there are (a few) VFP positions paying 6 figures. Mainly in NYC, Chicago, Boston, and other big cities.

In US$? With less taxes than Canada? :-p~ Boy, I didn't know that I liked snow that much to not go down there :)
