Hey Scotian man thanks a lot again. I did read through the thread and sorry about the stupid/obvious questions.
I found a contact for learning Cabinetmaking and I'm thinking to do that for now since I don't have the money to move to Alberta yet. I don't have any skills that I can put on my resume so I figured might as well learn some cabinetmaking. I am broke right now and I want to have at least 3 to 4 grand before I go there so I can take my time and not have to worry about running out of options. But if I do get a job offer I'd be on the plane the next day.
I agree with Scotian on those 'private colleges'. I'd suggest to stay away from those places. Either go to a publicly funded school, or don't. I know a few dudes who spent 10K+ on courses/programs from these 'strip mall colleges' for nothing. They're back at the same/similar jobs they were doing before. I told them all about this forum and specifically about this thread. Soctian is doing a real service to humanity by posting all this information.
Those of you who are in Alberta already or are planning to go there, check out Noralta Lodge website http://www.noraltalodge.com. They had a job posting for 'kitchen helper/sandwich maker' that was paying $300 for a 12-hour over night shift for 84 hours a week plus all the benefits etc. I already applied for that position but there are still more posted on their website under the career section. This is one of those camp jobs where you do rotational shifts.
