Let me know when you're hiring again.

Microstation drafting for a utility. It's a pretty easy gig. And it's crazy how much they make compared to non-union private drafters. Based on what I've seen, go to any utility and with a lot of experience you're probably looking at a 40% raise plus more time off, plus a pension, plus a small (2k-ish) bonus at the end of the year.
You're in the Okanagan, aren't you? I wouldn't be surprised if your skill set would be considered transferrable to someone like Terasin or BC Hydro.
