Am I going back to oil & gas?

It seems like 90% of the jobs opportunities are oil & gas. I guess this is typical "Alberta" but what about those of us who don't want it or have already done it once and want other experiences. Last year I only applied to non-o&g jobs but started to get worried when I only received a few interviews and even less rankings. I consider myself lucky to get the Alcan job I did although I think I would have picked it over most other jobs. And if I'd known before how much fun I would have had and the people I would have met (ie. Amber and the others) it wouldn't have been a choice at all.

So what about this year? Am I going to luck out again with a sweet job in a sweet city? So far I'm pretty sure I'm going back to Calgary. I think that's okay because I missed out on a lot of family stuff on this last work term but at the same time I really enjoyed being forced to hang out with my roommates every weekend and having to find my own stuff to do. Plus I loved the size of Kingston, the streets, the lack of traffic, the bars, the students. Calgary is good but I seriously don't know if it can compare. I think if 4 or 5 of us get jobs in Calgary and can all get a place together it would be so sweet. I could bypass the first few months of not knowing anyone and feeling really depressed and closed off and go right into the awesome Rocky Mountain snowboarding. I've also applied for quite a few Edmonton jobs. That would put me far away from Amber (although Vancouver-Edmonton flights are a lot cheaper than Vancouver-Calgary flights) but Brendan is most likely staying in his apartment, Nevin might leave, and Jeff will be back at school. I think it would be pretty sweet to be around the campus here without having to worry about school. I could do all the fun intramural stuff, I could play hockey, do all kinds of stuff and just make sure I'm at work on time. That's my only responsibility. Hmm, now that I look at it this way...it might be pretty easy to have another sweet 8 months. We'll see how it's looking once interviews are up. Sorry for the length but this is one of the bigger things on my mind right now. Later people!
