If you are open to FIFO out of the northern diamond mines or moving to a smaller mining town in BC or Ontario, these could be viable options for you in this field.
Thanks, all info is appreciated, I'm just now learning about this profession. Yeah my motivation is a little bit of everything that you mentioned. Pay, sure, but I like the idea of working a few weeks and then getting a few weeks off. I find that kind of nice. Also, the type of work just seems a bit more rewarding than strict labor positions.
