the job oppertuanties in edmonton

[Skitzo_Style]

incredible

everywhere. absolutely everywhere is hiring. and not just hiring, but hiring at top wages.

mcdonald's starting wages are $12/hr.

7-eleven is offering a $700 signing bonus to new employees.

they are accepting new apprentices in almost all trades. they need plumbers, carpenters, electricians, masonry workers, welders, sheet metal works. even laborers are being paid $17+/hr to start.

absolutely unbelievable.

too bad the oilers suck ass.

but besides their shitty hockey club, this is the place to be if you want to get a high-paying job with no experience in trades.

there were over 50000 new jobs in canada this year and 28000 of those jobs were in alberta

Places like 7-eleven and Subway are offering those bonuses because of the trade/oil/etc industry boom.. those high paying jobs are getting all the employees, but then there's also a population influx so there still needs to be someone manning the cash registers.

I'm pretty sure there are no job opportunities for people that don't know how to spell OPPORTUNITIES.

thats a pretty low estimate, if you went to stats canada there was probably around 28,000 jobs created last month in alberta alone.

the only problem is you have to live in alberta

Uni of lethbridge came to our school yesterday .. they said a lot of employers will pay your student loans off if you work for them! Almost considering finishin a law degree over there then work for a couple years, just beacause of the high'ish loans Ill have @ the end.

Yeah, that would be nice. Except that most law schools in Alberta aren't that great, as far as I know. And you'd have to stay and practice in Alberta. If you ever want to go out of province there are courses you have to take. and I'm not sure whether you have to take the bar exam again or not... I don't think that a company paying off my student loan is lucrative enough to keep me in Alberta, haha.
Have you taken your LSATs already?

depends, the copy writers that put together pitch books for investment banks make atleast $100k a year, oftentimes significantly more.

They also are on call 24/7 and generally work 90 hour weeks but thats just part of the game.

yeah I dno lol

alberta is sorta wack, but at the same time I kno lots of people over there so it wouldnt be soooo bad...

then again I think Im gunna do some law school in montreal (mcgill ) known as one of (if not) the best in Canada.

Personally I would rather see the minimum wage stay the same.

We already have the highest in the nation, by bumping that up you're only deflating the buying power of our dollar.

true, but most of the journeyman pipe fitters up in grand prairie and fort mcmurry are making 200k/year for just fitting the pipes, no welding or anything.

the problem is you have to work up in the rural parts of alberta and work 70 to 80 hours a week, but like you said sean, that’s just part of the game.
