Thanks guys. CrazyJoker I will apply as soon as I see it posted. I worked at a jail so no issues with the background check.

I am actually doing my 3rd exams, have one finished and writing the next in early April. Should have worded my question differently. I need to do something to keep from literally going penniless...

I was shown a link for a waterwater tech job at EPCOR, and it paid 32-37/HR which is pretty decent. Anyone know what the career is like, if this field has a decent future, or was this just a rare...

Rock truck sounds like something I could do. If I have one skill above all others, it is the ability to do boring jobs without bitching. One summer I worked at a ratty museum on the side of a...

You found an operating job with absolutely no tickets or experience? Sounds like you lucked out! In town or did you have to go to a remote location?

Or sign up for school in LV. It would probably be alot more expensive than up here but would allow you to interact in the area and hopefully find a job after your education is finished. My nephew...

Ahahahahahahahahahaha it really does suck doesn't it? I have been stuck in this dump for 38 years, and am finally close to getting out. It just gets worse and worse. Big party for the OP for...

Hey Geegigi can I ask what the tuition would have been in Rome? Do they charge you huge fees for being out of country?

Geez when I was growing up all I wanted to do was either fly planes/copters or fix them. Bad eyes killed the flying part, and general bitterness from AME's I talked to finished other dream off. ...

Tough call. usually I say go with what you think is the better work environment but that is alot of cash being thrown out there for doing work you know well. 250K+? If you saved everything you...

I worked Sask provincial for 5 years, and by the end of it the little gangers were running the show. The bosses didn't want to be bothered to move the troublemakers into isolation anymore and we...

Best choice: going to University for a History degree (yeah, I know it is useless)

Worst choice: Bailing out with only a 4 yr BA

Worst choice #2: thinking working at a jail would be "Ok"... it...

Sorry this was a double post

Moose jaw is pretty good...smaller city but large enough to have everything you need including a decent sized college, a really cool active downtown area, and about 1/50th the crime rate of PA. I...

My nephew is looking for a career direction and he thought working at a Canadian embassy offshore seems appealing. I checked out the Canada Gov't website and they state they want a degree, but they...

Yeah Im in the same boat, I finally left the government gas job I had because I absolutely HATED it. Maybe you are bored with Edmonton? Try working in the Caymans for a year or something. Worst...

Hey at least a Photojournalist seems like a neat career. Just last night I was looking at some ancient rock pics from the 70's and saw a real hot picture of Ann Wilson around 1977 (well before she...

Lethbridge College is offering a Wind turbine technician course three times a year now to fill the demand from industry..apparently they are very short of workers. Anyone know much about this field?...

But then again, if you get paid well, like say $80,000 + a year, who cares. Spend your cash vacationing in Spain during the bitter winters! If you end up coming to PA shoot me a PM and I can at...

Prince Albert is a gang infested craphole with a horrendous crime rate. I have given up the idea of having any kind of basic stereo system in my car because the little native gang kids keep stealing...

Power/Steam Engineer. Work with boilers, good pay, no public interaction other than co-workers. I have wanted to take this for years now and still regret not going.

Moose Jaw unfortunately has lost most of its manufacturing jobs over the years, so getting a good job can be tough. Tourism is the major draw now, and yes there are the crown companies (SaskTel,...

Might be considered off topic, but if you are really itching to become a cop, three "officers" in Saskatoon just got fired for having on duty sexual relations with each other, so there's a few...

I have a question that may interest the original poster...are there many opportunites to do offshore contract work in avionics? Is the pay substantially better? Worth it if one is single?

I lived in Lethbridge in 2003, and absolutely LOVED that city. Compared to shithole Prince Albert (Sask) where I grew up, Leth was great. As already stated the people were friendly, it was clean,...

Hey thanks for the good replies all. I will get on the phone today and see what I can find out.

Was looking through the Lethbridge College site online and noticed they offer an electrical course with wind turbine specialty. Anyone on here think this type of specialization would be worth...

BlownZ what did he do there?

I am guessing most of the people hired on in Dubai from other countries are Engineers, banking professionals, etc?? What about Electricians, aviation mechanics, other trades types?

Yup, I would go in a flash too. Any ideas where I could look up what kinds of jobs are available? Just use Monster or something?

All over work (I work at a gas company filled with bitter people) there has been discussions about working in Dubai...whats the deal? I did a quick net scan but couldn't find anything as to why it...

Starts at 20/hr?? Wow that is pretty good..I work for the Sask government and only make that wage now. No wonder people head west. What's average wage range after one is fully trained?

My net worth is brutal, and I work in Saskatoon where the houses are stupid expensive and the jobs pay like crap. No matter your net worth, be happy most of you guys live in Alberta..at least...

Forgot to mention I am 35..not the youngest guy out there. Been looking at all kinds of trades from this to Power engineering to Instrumentation mechanic. Hard to choose, don't wanna redo this yet...

I am working at SaskEnergy and there is an opening for a millwright apprentice offered. Haven't heard much about this trade but I assume it is quite physical? If I bid and am successful I would be...

I am 35 and say get back to school. Even after 2 more years in classes you still have 30 years or so to work, more than enough. If you have a passion for something, go after it..you only live once.

What? For fixing elevators? Why such high pay? is it dangerous as well?

Good paying trade, but hard on the knees. If you aren't too heavy a person it might be OK

Power Engineering is a good field, and is offered in a few schools around Alberta. Red Deer offers it in night course format if you like that place..looks better than Edmonton IMO. NDT is also good...

My friend in Saskatoon is an assistant manager and makes $13.20/hr. Not very great, even by Sask standards.
