The St. Louis Blues lured the talen- ted defenceman away from the Washington Capitals earlier this summer. Renowned for being tight with a dollar, the Blues unexpectedly signed Stevens to a four-year deal reported to be worth about $5.15 million US. The highly publicized signing raised concerns among. the owners about increasing payrolls in the 21-team league. “It’s all entertainment,’’ Gretzky told the Toronto Star on Monday. “‘If you put the product on the ice, then people will come to see it. ‘But just because Scott Stevens’s salary goes up doesn’t mean Mario (Lemieux) or (Steve) Yzerman or myself should go up,”” added the Los Angeles Kings’ superstar. ‘That's my opinion. ‘But if I'm Ray Bourque, I think it’s obviously going to come into play.” Bourque, regarded by many as the league’s finest defenceman, is seeking a substantial pay increase in light of | Stevens’s move to St. Louis. Bruins teammate Cam Neely is also seeking a raise after Blues right winger Brett el landed a multi-million-dollar ‘deal, Where does it stop? “Who knows?’ answered Gretzky, shaking his head. ‘‘Looking at professional sports as a whole, it’s amazing where salaries are. But I can’t say I was surprised, really.

Changing careers have become common and we 2 Job to fulfil a dream: Here's a look at some of those dreams. ( By JOHN WARD The Canadian Press When M: Baille’s husband retired after a 20-year military career, she decided it was time for a change too. The pert, cheery-voiced woman gave up her profession as a social worker and opened a small art gallery in Yellowknife. “It’s something I always wanted to do,”’ she said. “So I did it. “*I was always interested in art, but we moved around a lot with the military. Now we're settled." Changing careers is becoming more and more com- mon as the workplace evolves and people’s goals and am- bitions shift. The day is almost gone when someone just out of school would’ start with a company and remain until retirement. The company may fold or switch its ion or universities. Assembly-line workers are taking business degrees, housewives are studying law. In the last decade, in The wiry young man wants to be a mine supervisor instead of a miner: ‘‘I could see | could do their job as ‘With the growing sophistication of work, many occupations which previously were essentially “manual” are becoming increasingly “mental, programs on Canadian campuses rose by 35 per cent. But for people age 30 to 39, the increase was 109 per cerit. And for those over 40, it rose 150 per cent. One thing driving people back to school is the ever- increasing demand for sophisticated skills. Stat Canada estimates that by the year 2000-almost two-thirds of all jobs will require post-secondary training. In the 1980s, fewer than half of all jobs required such education. “The needs of the labor market are changing and are becoming more stringent,”’ said a government report on adjusting to economic realities. *“With the growing sophistication of work, many oc- ions which were i ‘manual’ are becoming increasingly ‘ment: requiring higher mathematical and language skills.

She's planning to start university this fall, seeking a degree in social work. “*l want something better than typing, filing and taking dictation,’’ she said in a lilting French-Canadian accent. ‘I want something better and | know if you work at it you can get it."” She’s probably on the right track. Statistics Canada forecasts that, in percentage terms, the growth in job openings for social workers will be three times the openings for mechanics in the next few years. Andy Gwinn of Vancouver has a teaching degree, but wants.a business degree. “I think I'll like business better than the classroom,"’ he said in a gravelly voice that carried well in class. The Statistics Canada forecasts say he'll likely be bet teachers slowly shrinks. ig. Two or even three careers in a lifetime. These are likely to become commonplace. Timothy Reid, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, made the point in a recent speech when he said Canada has to adjust in order to compete in the world market “What we need is to combine the energies of business, labor, government and the education system in order to create and sustain an educational system that en c and is ive to rapidly i labor markets.”” But the adjustment won't be easy or cheap. In 1987, Canadian companies spent about $1.5 billion on training and retraining. In the United States, the figure was $80 billion As the need for more education for older workers becomes vital, the question of who will pay will be crucial In a time of spending cuts, governments may be reluctant to add to their spending For some, like Marg Baille who opened an art gallery © in Yellowknife, there’s no need for government help **You save a bit and work hard and, given a little luck, you can make it _ merge with someone else. Or the worker may simply decide it’s time to do something else and move on. The motive could be boredom, a desire for more money or simply to satisfy some long-buried ambition. A study by the Economic Council of Canada showed that, over a five-year period, almost half of all workers changed jobs. People who 30 years ago might simply have dreamed a dream now seek to make it real. Where workers might once have toiled at unsatisfying jobs, many now chuck it and start anew. They may want to become writers or lawyers or sociologists. Audrey McLaughlin, the leader of the federal NDP, is a case in point. In her life before politics she raised a family, taught school in Africa, helped women in the Caribbean start their own businesses, worked as a social worker, and ran a mink farm. A decade ago, she tired of her in Toronto: “I’m of the view you should do something different every 10 + years,”” she says. She decided on the Yukon after studying a map of Canada. bought a truck and sold my stuff and went.”” The idea of work for work’s sake is becoming tar- nished and job satisfaction and the quality of life — a vague term with as many meanings as there are people — are growing in importance for many men and women. “The perception of work as something enjoyable in itself has eroded,"” says David Cannon, a career adviser at ‘Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont. Canadians in their 30s and 40s are pouring into By JOHN WARD Canadian Press The workplace in Canada was once a trapline along a beaver pond, where the pioneers of New Fran- ce collected lustrous pelts. But change has always been a part of the land. New France, the land that Voltaire dismissed as nothing but ‘‘a few acres of snow,”’ grew into today’s Canada. As beaver became scarce and the colony’s population grew, grandsons of fur trappers plowed the rich fields along the St. Lawrence. By the start of the 19th century, as the United Empire Loyalists spread into what now is Ontario, farming became ever more important. With the farms came infant industries: cheese factories, small textile mills, vest-pocket ies and farm inery Workplace continues to e The loggers and lumbermen moved west into On- tario and up the Ottawa River, driving huge rafts of logs down the spring-swollen waters. In turn, their sons and grandsons drove spikes on the railways. The locomotives, built in the glowing foundries of the East, opened the West to world-scale agriculture and new opportunity. Historian Michael Bliss, in his book Northern En- terprise: ive Centuries of Canadian Business, describes this new bonanza: ‘‘Even in its beginnings, the western economy of Canada was too big and too dynamic to be dominated by established interests.’’ This growth helped spur the building of the fac- tories that, in the 20th century, made Canada a fully shops. In the older settlements of the Maritimes, forests rang with axes and town echoed with the whine of sawmills. During the Napoleonic wars, .

In the harbors of Nova Scotia, shipwrights and foundrymen once swung hammers, forged fittings and sent clippers to sea as part of a great shi ilding in- volve The building docks and the jobs that went with them are long gone, forgotten by many. The textile mills of southern Ontario are mostly empty, or filled with boutiques and restaurants. The looms have vanished, the spindles sold as rustic candle- holders. Change continues. In Ontario and Quebec, the sprawling factories, workshops and mills that rose before and during the Second World War once poured billets of steel, rolled out cars and trucks by the millions and spun kilometres of cloth. They drove the Canadian economy for decades Now, many have shut under the pressures of over- seas competition and changing demand. Others cut jobs or retool for automation. On the East Coast, smaller catches have meant fish-processing plants are closing. In the West, the traditional coal and lumber in- dustries face diminishing resources and angry en- vironmentalists. New industries spring up all the time as new dustry. Today, a century later, trawlers chug across har- bors once sliced by the prows of sleek sailing vessels. are ped and But they, too, will have to adjust and adapt or, like the old fur traders, they may just fade away in a world where nothing stays the same.
