there were a bunch of Geologest jobs out here a month or so a go. If you willing to move you should have no problem getting a job in that field.

^Geologist jobs in Kamloops? Do you recall what companies were hiring? I have no issues with moving at all since I am just starting out on my career.

Thanks!

Thanks for all of the responses everyone, some very good info in there. I have set up an appointment with SAIT to see what kind of options I have there with my current education/training. Wish me Luck

Well I have been to Devry and SAIT. Both places were pushing me in to a degree which is not really an option since I cant go back to school full time. All of the available night courses/online courses didnt really seem to get you too much either. So now I am more discouraged than ever. Anyone have any career ideas in which a mechanics skill set could be an asset? Thanks!!

Have you browsed through this thread? 'Free' training if you're willing to put in a few (or more) years.
