[QUOTE="CJ, post: 78610, member: 313"] First off, thanks for taking the time to post all that great information. I know a lot of members from this site will get a lot out of that. Second, my background: - I'm a US Citizen - I've got a bachelor's degree in business & economics - Most jobs I've taken since graduating (in 2006) have been labor intensive, however, none have been in a specific trade. I suppose the most relevant work I've done is some auditing for the auto industry. - I presently work for an airline, so I could easily travel up there to 'check it out' So, my question is, would I be qualified to get a blue collar job in the oil fields? If not, would my background possibly qualify me for a white collar job helping to run the business in the oil fields? I'm curious as to what type of opportunity I'd have to make some serious money here. I doubt I'd spend an eternity up there, although it would be nice to be somewhere that appreciates hockey as much as I do. Course, I suppose I am in one of the two US cities that actually does like hockey, but our employment rate is atrocious, and I need better options. [/QUOTE]
