Heading to Alberta
By Chris | January 3, 2009
During these had times caused by the “financial crisis” I had expected to NOT be working for some time. Here in Vancouver condo projects have been shelved. Current projects are already manned up and nothing is coming out of the ground. In Alberta, the oil companies have shelved or post-poned many projects. The low price of oil makes planned projects not financially viable.
Luckily, there is a short but good paying job in Ft. McMurray that are hungry for some plumbers. This is ironic as most pipefitters in Alberta hold a steam ticket rather than a plumbing one. This works to my advantage since I hold a plumbing ticket. So, I will be flying out tomorrow to take a chance of landing a position on Monday morning. If I do land the gig, I should be back in about three weeks.
Of course, money is a huge part of taking up photography. The hobby grabs cash from your pocket from all angles; be it from classes, gear(the sky is the limit), magazine subscriptions, web hosting, workshops, or image storage. I do intend to write an article about the expense of the hobby in the future. Right now, I need to earn some more cash to purchase more camera gear.
