That is the general idea behind the word job.

Hello ppl if you are interested in just about any job, and willing to relocate. Alberta is DESPERATE, for workers. I am a Welder and I cannot qualify for unemployment insurance, due to the fact that this Province is Screaming for em. HEHE I still took 9 mos off. dipped into savings a bit but... I did have fun. I am one of them a**holes that bought a house when things were in the crapper. My mortgage is less than rent on a bachelor suite:) Some of my family lives in the same town so.... I don't own a car.

PS my house smaller than a bunkhouse:) 572sq feet.

alberta, what state is that:lol . My cousin is a welder, he always told me that i should learn, either to work or to fix cars, its a useful skill.

I'm an amateur mechanic, it's useful, i'd like to learn to weld too. I can do it in HS but it's a 30 minute drive and 2 periods.

Should convince your parents to move to the Springs. Always need extra help at the shop. BTW Nirvana, you should see the new toy coming in January!

I wouldn't mind working down there Bodhi, i'd just be scared i'd screw something up. I think my dad might find it interesting though so i'll let you know so i'm not waking you up after a long night of partying again. I'll come down and bend some metal sometime though.

Reading some of the new guys posts i'm noticing spelling isn't a priority in schools anymore. When you get kids in advanced English classes typing U instead of you, and 4 instead of for on essays, you kind of get nervous.

It that is all you can afford on a welders pay in Alberta, it's no wonder they can't find workers.

High School .. no worries. The goal of High school is to get out of it.

If you want some advice .. and can do a high GPA (some people just cant no matter how hard they try due to ..shall we say ..'interference') .. talk to the school counselors about scholarships into a college. Most scholarships require 3.75 or higher.. and it does take a bit of work to pull off for most . . but .. gettin a bachelors degree *will* open a lot of doors .. especially if it's built around somethin you enjoy doin anyway

.. like ..ohh .. say .. aerodynamics .. f'rinstance
