Okay, I don't post here much any more, but I should say something. I grew up in Grande Prairie, and if you want to make money, you can certainly make money there. That said, the city sucks and you'll probably become frusterated there. It used to be awesome, but it is now a prime example of a city where everyone has TOO much money. Expect to see a lot of people on drugs and drunk.

I'm probably making it sound worse than it is, but I don't think I would ever move back there. 20 years there was enough for me.

EDIT: Oh wait, you're from winnipeg? You might not hate it as much as some other people then.

Also, if you're REALLY crazy, go up to Fort Macmurray in northern Alberta. That is where the biggest oil industry in Alberta is. I haven't been there myself, but I hear it's a shit hole. But full of money.

Thanks for this!
I have an interview (phone call) with a drilling company today, they asked me to relocate to Grand Prairie should I accept the job.
Where I live really won't matter since you don't do much other than work.
I found the job in your local newspaper,
So if anyone else is looking for such work - look in the online local newspapers for the smaller towns up north. FULL of jobs there.

Also, what's wrong with Winnipeg?
(joke, everything is wrong with Winnipeg)

Where would one look for the names of companies that do the staffing stuff.
I don't know where to begin.

That's kinda the reason I wanted to start a discussion,
I'm looking as well for good places to search.
I heard about this landscaping job in Grande Prairie AB - once I get a number or email from the company I'll let ya know.

Heeeeey,
For those Canadians in the crowd, or possibly US people -
You hear about "working on the oil rigs" or "working up north"
You know - the type of job where you pretty much need to be single and willing to work hard.
Six days a week, sometimes seven. Long days, 12-14 hours on average.
And apparently lots of money?

I'm still pretty young, but I got a lot of debt (*cough* brand new truck)
I was kinda rushed into buying it and regret going into so much debt so early.
But that's besides the point!

I want to study at University next fall, and need to save up a huge amount of money to do so.
I hear there is all kinds of work up north if your willing to live up there in small towns full of nothing exciting.
There is a company hiring Bobcat operators with paid training to work in northern Saskatchewan doing landscaping stuff, they pay your room and board too. And you can clear $4000 a month after taxes starting out easily.

I'm basically starting a discussion if anyone has done such a thing.
What they did, how they found the job, was it in any way enjoyable/worth it?

Have you ever worked your ass off for some quick cash?

I've been leveling up a Draenei Paladin and just dinged level 67 last night. I thought I would finally contribute to the thread and post some screens of my Draenei Journey!


Starting off, I notice a lot of really interesting quests in the Draenei area. I was turned into a tree!


After much work in Azuremyst Isle, I was granted my very own [Tabard ][/Tabard] for my efforts.


My next step into become a light warrior, was to complete my [Verigan's ][/Verigan's] trial. (to this date, I still keep it in my bank!)


"It ain't easy, being cheesy"
Upon being able to tame a wild elekk and  convince him to let me ride him around, I was non stop hounded with people telling me "ur elephanzt iz cul!" (I had the first one on the server)


After swearing that I would not stop grinding the Blasted Lands until I received a [Flawless ][/Flawless] I was determined to get one to drop. Eight hours later ...


I wanted my boomerang really bad, so I just had to do the linken quest line! (that boomerang has killed many fleeing mages in outlands FYI)


Hitting level 58, I was granted access to the Outlands. My best friend Denizen (who quit his draenei alt, and lvl'd his warrior and left me alone!!!@!@!) put me to the test before I could gain entrance. (we dueled, he let me win.)


Leveling up in the Outlands was a breeze, 6 hours after hitting lvl 58, I was lvl 60.


This led me to my first epic, an epic mount! Look at the elephant roar!


I took off to fight the Fel Orcs on the Ramparts of Hellfire Citadel, and the rest is history.

Three more levels until I reach the famed "level 70... ooooOOoo..."
Wish me luck!

oh btw




jelous????

hmm..
Is that ..?

What's SA?

Don't ebay - it's not the way to go when selling your account.
Sell it to a website - they will buy your account on the spot for a good chump of change.
