Can I go there as unskilled and get somewhere?

Yup working at Enbridge. I just go to Wainwright once a.week to get groceries. Fun drive. No cops around here so I just cruise along at 150.

I have no.experience at all. Just be ready to bust your ass.

Good to know. If langara ends up continuing their waitlist with nursing, I'll get on it and head there.

do they hire you if you are thin built or willing to hire anyone that is able to work hard.

prove yourself by working your ass off... then eat like a horse.. you won't have a thin build for long..

BTW if you are going to school try to get on just for summer.. I'm working with one guy that did that while he was going to school to be a teacher.. now he is done but is going to keep working out here for a couple more years to make more money.
How many people can be done school with money in their pocket and be able to afford to go to Mexico a couple times a year on top of that?

people who work 12 hour shifts? :P

if I wasnt going to Europe in June i probably would have went up and worked for suncore with a few of my buddies

The Mac, she's a cruel mistress, and she will freeze you, if you don't love her, the way we all love her up here. We are the Mac... are you the Mac?

I thought I was the only one thinking about this as I read this post....LOL!

Do you have your first aid for industry, your level 3 and such?

I have a friend who went up to Fort Mac as an attendant at oil camps while he was working on his paramedic certification. Now he still does it while he builds his BC Ambulance hours.

While the pay isn't fantastic given you're sinking $300-400 into plane tickets every 2 weeks it's still way better than working down here with all the over time he gets + he has minimal living expenses is he's at a camp (as all food and such is provided) and when he's "living out" he gets an extra $50/day which is more than he needs for groceries to take up with him.

its weird I find that 10 hours is easier then 8 hours and 12 goes by really fast too.

edit: Nevermind

I've only ever worked 10 a few times in construction but that's similar to what I've heard from my buddies although one of my buddies weasled his way into a desk job from a laborer with suncore lol
