i make $30 an hour here in louisiana, i work at a citgo refinery. i just need some company names so i can get some info to send my resume' and make some contacts. i would recommend anyone that welds to rig out a truck and make some serious money. im also interested in going to russia or europe. im not afraid to work in the cold.

Not afraid to work in the cold, it just sucks complete anus. I'd rather get paid less and work in somewhat comfort. Heat I can tolerate, but having a numb body and all pain magnified sucks.

thats true, but if the money is right and the length of the job is short its all good. when i was in colorado most of my work was in the mountains and if it was too cold, i said "---- that, i'm not going out side". i guess the people i worked for understood or they just let it go because i brought some kick ass food to eat. hopefully i will be going to alaska in june. 3 weeks on 3 weeks off but only $37.88 and hour. but its 84 hours a week and thats $12,000 gross in only 3 weeks.

I would do that.

In Alberta a welder with his own rig can easily make upwards of $120/hr and the company covers all fuel and rod costs, also LOA or free camp and the camps are nice as ----. All brand new, gourmet chefs, lcd tv in every room, full gyms etc.

i was there in august of 04 and it seemed like it never quit. not to mention the cold ass rain. it took me a little while to get aclimated but it worked out. i miss the snow in the winter time and REAL seasons, here in the south all we get is fall and summer. but the occasional 2 weeks of cold.

I work on a Rig based out of Edmonton Ab, i make $31 per hour. We get free diesel too, and once you become driller you get paid $1 per kilometer for your truck at anywhere from 100-300kms per day. You can have downs syndrome here and still make 100k all day long..
