You could even keep a house here and still work up there - commuter buses come in and out of Fort Mac every weekend - 4 days in and 3 days back at home. That bus ride's gotta be a bear, but if you're young and have no obligations here - you might want to consider this option. I don't foresee the job market up there drying up - there so much development with the oil sands that those big companies will be active up there for quite a while.
Hey look, you are 2 cents richer...  |
I would not move to Fort Mac. I don't care how much they are paying people. I grew up in Calgary all my life, and the last thing I want to do is move way up North, in the middle of nowhere.
