Graduate high school in 98, then went and got my Industtial Technology degree from 98-02. Then work 1 year for GE aircraft engine, then 2 years as a Class A millwright in a tissue paper mill. But I hated the city and something was calling me back home. But there was / still is no work around here. So despite the seniority, the pension plan, the strong union and the wealthy pay from the paper mill, in december 04 I quit for what was suppose to be a 2 year contract as a Mechanical / Pipe fitting quality control on a 500 MW hydo **** construction job site in James bay , way up norhen quebec, that was on a man camp. His brought my adresses back to the gaspe peninsula. I did loved that job, but after 6 month, I got a call from an old college teacher. A hugrs energy company was starting a wind mill field division in Canada. Couldn't help it and took the job. Been working for hem since may 05 as a construction field manager. Been all over Canada & Us. Started single and now married and 2 kids plus 1 on the way, carrying them in a hughe fifty-wheel. But we too have a new house in our home town, so as time goes familly will stay more home than travellin with dad. My oldest just turn 3. So I still hav2-3 year before she start full time school. Will see then. I do really love my job, but 3000 hour per year and 4 days off every 6 week ain't a winner for family life....... So will see, will have to male decision soon or later for a new career. Norther. quebec is trating to boom like crazy. Lot of my friends are getting jobs in mines way up north on '' fly in - fly out'' man camp. Most of them are 14 days on site @ 12 hours per day / 14 days off, they fly you home. And making in the 6 digits. I am looking but not ready to trade the south for the North yet. After all, I am only 30.
