I'm in the same situation my wife will not move. She now says she will but only within BC.
It sucks if I do get a job some where else I will loose and if I don't I will loose, so it does not matter.

I feel your pain. I moved from Calgary 1.5 years ago and lost my job last spring. It's tough finding a good job in a small market like the Kootenay's. Thankfully my wife landed one right away, but I'm still looking.

1 hour north of Ft.Macmurray. Really nice camp, like a 3 star hotel. Lots to do but camp sucks period. Being stuck in camp is like prison but at least the money is insane.

I always hated being in camp because I made less money (no subsistence pay) and even the 'nice' camps were still sh*t holes IMO. Being one of the least favorite people on most locations (by nearly everyone) didn't help much either as people were either upset with what I did and how much I made.

I think work is slow everywhere though. A Master Electrician friend of mine recently got fired from an Oil Sands project. He was only kept so long because he was on contract and it would have cost the company way too much to break it.

Anyways good luck with the new job. Anything is better than nothing is what I always say and something better will always come around, especially when this economy rebounds.

I don't think he bought a new truck because he was getting lay ed off it was unexpected and just bad timing the lease on his truck came due and he had to have some thing to drive back and forth from 100mile to revelstoke. I feel his pain.
