'That swipe was the best thing that's ever happened to me.'
"People might not consider this a big risk, but in this day and age? I do. I threatened to quit my job unless they gave me a big, fat, HUGE raise. I hadn't had one in three years, had been pretty much ignored, unappreciated, etc. I got an offer for another job for $5 an hour less in pay; however, I knew they gave their employees annual raises and bonuses through the year.""I told my manager 'BYE,' but they met my demands and have been a lot better since.
Now, six years out of college, I am an engineer making six figures. My employer treats me well. I love my job and my team. I feel I do meaningful work, and I've learned that even though this field wasn't what I was naturally 'good' at, it taught me a completely new way of thinking and approaching problems that changed my life.""While living in Florida, my Canadian boyfriend proposed and suggested I immigrate to Canada. I moved to Canada and married that man in 2007.
