true that!

my brother is in Fort McMurray doing drywall and he probably earns more than most engineers here in Ontario, (no exaggeration).

:werd: I have a friend who's out in Fort Mac doing some engineering work and he's getting paid like 60K plus accomodation... not too bad for a coop position... but get this... they put a value on the accomodation right? just so you can see how much you're 'making'... to stay with a buddy in a 2 bedroom apartment for a year is valued at over 40K each...

tell me where around here you'd pay 40K to stay in a place for a year?? well over 3K/month... insanity and those are renting prices
