What are the highest paying jobs in these fields?

How to get one of those high paying jobs in the oil fields?

• I have a Business Degree and would like to move to Alberta to work at the oil fields, where should I look?

• Answer:

  Having a Business Degree won't necessarily mean you'll find a job out in the oil fields. You may of course find a position with an company who works in the field. The are lots of oil field related companies within any one of the cities. You should know that while moving to Alberta may sound like a good idea you should also be aware of some of the drawbacks. The top one is the vacancy rate for housing which is at approx. 1% and the costs of housing is climbing. It doesn't matter whether you choose Calgary, Edmonton or Fort McMurray - the same thing applies. The following are companies in the field you are looking.
