Looking For Work?
#17
My buddy works the entire IT division for a home builder spread all over Alberta, BC (I think) and definitely Colorado (Denver, etc).

He said, alot of the time, you'll see the home pricing increase dramatically between the ads they run in the paper and he said they are always changing their other advertising due reflect this.

**** I was planning to go into Firefighting here (still am) but hearing this, I don't think I would be able to afford to live in Alberta, at least with the luxury I am used to in Sask with what my fiancee and I both make. It's getting really harsh, but alot of Alberta's high prices is due to the oil/rig workers as Jay mentioned. If your making 100-150 a year, around 20 years old, do the math.....

I was at a wedding last weekend, the guy getting married currently runs his rig, not sure all the details but he makes more in 'per diem', basically food, hotel costs a day then I make a day normally with my wages. This doesn't take into account the 400-500 a day (maybe more)he is bring in on top of that. I think he mentioned he's clearing easily 10 grand a month and that's with I think 2 weeks on, 1 week off scheduling. I think he's bringing in about $250,000 or so a year, somewhere in that range. He's 24.
