One of the industries that emerged as a breadwinner is the Real-Estate industry. This industry is one of the booming industries in Canada. A realtor is a person that indulges in selling/buying/renting property.

Trucking

Trucking is yet another fantastic job that leads to massive profits. There is a misconception among people that the job of a Truck driver is not respectable, but no job is small or big, It’s just the passion for the job you’re doing.

This is the base pay and one can gain more money if working overtime and working on longer routes.
