So You are set out to Make more Money!?
Sure...just remember this:
A very small percentage make more than 100K$ in Canada. You are living in Toronto, a city that is best to do than almost all of the other Canadian cities...it's not the best rated city to live in like Vancouver, but it has more affordable real state AND more career opportunities. It's people are not as lively and fun-loving as Montreal, but friends you make are often ambitious enough to be opportunistic and apt enough to be competitive while managing to be maintain a healthy work-life balance unlike their U.S. counter parts. It is better than most cities in the U.S who are constantly ravaged by political and corporate ad campaigns. At the same imt, the big government here still taxes you less than most cities in Europe. ...This is a city where you can do whatever you want, and still make a manageable living (for one at least.)
Considering what other cities and continents are left, and considering how people in Japan fight for a place to live, how people in Europe bend under taxes, and how people in Middle-East and Africa break under oppression, and lack of resources, Toronto residence are very well to do.
Consider the whole history of Human Being (as far as we know) where man has always fought for survival against nature, and against other men except for very brief periods where peace and prosperity has lasted for a very short while in a small part of this Earth: Athens, Rome, Beijing, and some other cities had these brief periods of peace where citizens in big cities did not even scratch their own butts. Because of the luxury and comfort established, new horizons of knowledge was explored, and new depths of understanding from human nature was achieved in philosophy and sciences....This is that time now, and if you are in Toronto, you are probably at one of the best locations.
Would you still see this, and go join the rank of those 1 to 2 percent of people among the itself very small fraction of the whole total population who want to make a wealth that is above 95% of average Canadians? Or would you play a more historical role, doing yourself and the human beings a favor and put your thought to some work other than aggregation of wealth!

The pursuit of wealth isn't in itself the problem, it's the motive behind that pursuit. As the saying goes " The love of money is a root of all sorts of evil"
Note, it's the love of money, not money itself, that is the source of some evil. Money in itself is merely a tool, and like most tools, can be used for good or for bad. So, for those who pursue wealth in order to do good... good on them. They could be doing more humans more good than those who merely work for subsistance.
It is a privilege to earn much money, but the 'quality' of the human who earns much is determined by what he does with that money.
