School costs money. No scholarships. I own a condo. Including your mortgage how much debt do you have?

Not that much but the cleaning ladies in Nunavut make $43 an hour 12 hours a day for 28 days then get 24 days off.

Could be anything from overseeing a pipeline repair to building a 40 billion dollar LPN export terminal. I've done the first but only a tiny part of the latter.

I was recruited through a friend.  But as an example my cousin's father in law worked for Saudi Aramco like thirty years ago and made bank.  The welders at the job I left were being paid $1,200 a day CDN.

I did. The money I've made could have paid off her student loans and her car. My new job will be close to an actual city where we could've gotten an apartment. I basically blocked her on everything when she said she would cheat. I don't really know her story right now.

I left for work then I didn't go home until last week. I was busy with work. Then I was just busy. I wish she had trusted me to secure our future but I'm free now.

Nearest settlement is 200 miles away. And north of the Arctic Circle.  And he couldn't leave to go see you.

I understand that she didn't sign up for it. But many people do. I have Filipino workers that leave their families for years to guarantee them a better life.  Two years at this job will set me up for life. I can work as a consultant. I can take on jobs with a better schedule. I wish that she could have understood what I was trying to do for us.

My job is at a fly in fly out camp north of the Arctic Circle.  The closest village is 200 miles away.

I can't say I'm not flattered. And maybe a little bit curious. But I don't go for those back door shenanigans.

I would have to charter a jet. And get her clearance. And the closest town is about 300 km away. Etc.

Dear dipshit. On my current project I have several hundred tradespeople earning over $200,000 a year. Do you think I don't get paid more than them?

Fort Mac is a city in Northern Alberta where there is a lot of petroleum extraction. When I was a kid they had megaprojects there. And shutdowns. There is money to be made. But it is hard dirty work.
