[Option84]

It's been 4 years now since I left university and that whole time I've been stagnating at the same company back in the same city that I was born in. Other than spending 5 years of school in Waterloo Ontario, the bulk of my life has been spent in Calgary. Granted Calgary has undergone some tremendous change in the past few years, but it's just lacking the vibrancy and sense of excitement that other places can offer. Truthfully it feels like I'm wasting my youth living in such a dull place. I was hoping that learning what paths other former Calgary residents took can give me some ideas and inspiration on where to get started on getting out. My background is in chemical engineering by the way, but it's hard finding work outside of the oil industry in Alberta.
