Hey Scotian. I was just surfing the web when I discovered this gem and let me tell you, it has really inspired me to do something with my life. I'm 19 and from down east too, near Port Hawkesbury, but i'm currently living in Ontario now finishing up high school (GED actually lol). I actually thought about making the move out there a year ago, but was discouraged when I saw the housing prices and didn't realize that tradesmen got camp accommodations. You've pretty much answered all of the questions I had and I can't thank you enough, yet I'm still in a jam. I'm currently indecisive about the trade i will be pursuing and also, if i should take the apprenticeship here or in Alberta. I know you're not a life coach or anything and you've done an excellent job providing us with some insight, but a little advice would really help a brother out. Should I get my JM ticket here first then move, or should I pack my truck up, drive out, and go rent a place in Edmonton and pursue the dream out there? and do you think the boom will still be big out there in five years?

Everyone I'm currently in Edmonton and it just so happens its snowing like crazy today. One of the big refineries is shutting down in May so if you can get your ass here before then you will get a camp gig up north. Even if you don't, there are plenty of labouring jobs in road construction and warehouses that pay decent. If you have your class 1 license you're pretty much set, everyone and their grandmother is hurting for drivers.

Just landed in Edmonton today! Met Hippo as well. From what I can tell, even though a lot of sites are shut down (the melted snow has made the ground too soft to work), there's still plenty of gigs available.
Scotian recommended a place to stay while here, Hi-Edmonton Hostel, and its paid off. Not only is it cheap, a lot of the guys that are staying here are either working in the sands or looking for work. Great way to network and find leads on gigs! Will keep you guys posted on any developments.
