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?

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.
