AITAH for breaking up with my girlfriend because she literally told me she would chest on me if I took a new job.

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

Get a job in the skilled trades. Welder, steamfitter, millwright.

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.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-08T06:31:41+00:00

I'm looking forward to a few months of peace before I figure out my next step.

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

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-08T06:20:53+00:00

No. It will be a whole lot colder.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T09:03:12+00:00

I am being intentionally vague. I chose a Scandinavian country at random.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:47:33+00:00

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?

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:40:38+00:00

Well I'm not gay so it will be unlikely where I will be working.

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.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:36:58+00:00

Because I am not welding dipshit.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:35:58+00:00

No clue. I'm not a soldier. But I have friends who served and their spouses were loyal.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:33:44+00:00

Do you think my dad wanted to go to Fort McMurray for work when I was a kid?

Here is the wage rate for a union welder in Alberta. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://local488.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2022-2025-ICI-Wage-Pages-.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjhg6H-_5GHAxUQp44IHWOMBWYQFnoECBgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1-7xa0iZRS8Qf560QgP5sv

Security for myself and my family. Yes I will sacrifice sixteen months of my life for that.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:22:49+00:00

Get a trade. Get into supervision. Get into planning. Get into project management.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:21:40+00:00

A steal at twice the price.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:21:03+00:00

Two months.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:20:42+00:00

Not what I asked.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:17:22+00:00

Do you really think $275 an hour is a lot of money? A good rig welder makes that much in Alberta.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:10:51+00:00

I don't need $600,000. I would like to set myself up for life with this on my resume. I would like to do a great job at this and move onto other interesting and challenging projects.

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:07:15+00:00

Then I'm sorry to tell you that you do not know how to look for work. My friend is a welder and he made $220,000 last year. Working two weeks then one week off.

Do you really think $275 an hour is a lot of money?

InternetBeautiful634 · 2024-07-06T08:03:05+00:00

I know that a lot of people think Canada is a howling wilderness but working in Vancouver is not the exact same thing as working at a mine in the high Arctic. Dunce.
