Yes you're right. There's just a lack of jobs for new grads with no experience.
Trust me, I'm somewhat always in contact with new grads or just graduating people. We have students at my plant and I also sit on SAITs PET Advisory committee.
There is building operations too. Also I'd forget about getting a job near calgary right now. Real tough market in the "alternative" industry jobs to O&G you mentioned.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."
