Well, its now been a month, yay for me!! I am now considering some other field, my only issue is that all I know is my trade, I have little else to go on. I am lucky that not only I still live at home, but I can also collect EI for now. I would love to try something new but what, I am a blue collar guy, work with my hands, get dirty, and I like to make stuff, and create. I've thought about construction, maybe. Only crappy part to that is that I would start out pretty low on the pay scale, and with my EI being what it is, it almost isn't worth getting anything lower than 13$/h to be worth it to me. Yes I am a mooch from the government, but I have worked had for the last 8 or so years, so I can. I really don't know, what else I can do. I've thought about moving to Alberta to get into the oil fields, I hear theres good money in that, but then its the move that scares me. What is a good field that pays good right now, or something that I can move up rather quickly in pay and in the business that I can enjoy my work again.
