Make quick cash calgary

Best money-making opportunities in Alberta? Hey gang I'm looking for a possible career change, and checking out the different possiblities available in the province. You know, besides the usual recommendation of living in the bush as a rig pig - not for me! Throw all your ideas out there, or if you know of or have heard of any cool, good paying jobs, let's hear 'em.

I'm in Edmonton but posted this here because the boom is even bigger in Calgary, and you guys will have a good pulse on what's happening. Damn that was a fast response! Originally posted by mslbebiz Damn that was a fast response!

Yeah, but what else can you do besides being a rig pig? I mean, I'm a big guy and I can handle it, but I don't want to do totally physical work all day like framing or something.

I'm a bodybuilder and my gains in the gym are very important to me. I'd prefer not to wither away to a small laborer's build.

Maybe something in between? Please keep the ideas coming: Go work on the rigs for a few months, muffin! It'll make a man out of you. It is not very labor intensive and you get to be outside. Plus they pay wicked huge! Do you have any post-secondary? As in university or college, no. Self-education and experience I have plenty which IMO is much more valuable. My background is pretty unique, and I know I can bring a lot to many companies. And I like to think I have a good head on my shoulders.

I graduated high school, and completed a government sponsored business training program in the work place. I've done a few jobs shortly after high school from sales, cladding, scaffolding for Brown and Root, and galvanizing. The last 6 years or so I've been running a successful online marketing business and have a ton of marketing, sales, and business knowledge as a result. However, it's stressful work and I'm interested in a change. Plus I can continue with that part-time on evenings and weekends.

Some good ideas so far, please keep them flowing! No thanks, not my style sweetheart. So far from your replies to this thread, it looks like you want a job where you sit on your ass and do nothing all day and get paid a ton of money to do it.

Let me know when you find that job and I'll send you my resume. Originally posted by mslbebiz No thanks, not my style sweetheart. Exactly what I never understood about body builders, they want to get all beefed up to look like a real man, but you can't go swing a wrench for a while?

Not necessarily, but I don't want to do bitch labor like shovelling or lifting all day either. Been there, done that. I'm sure there's plenty of good jobs out there that are a combination of brains and brawns, that's what I'm getting at. What's with the personal attacks now? You don't even know me. I'm sure that's the motivation for plenty of guys, but personally I do it because we experience everything through our bodies and I want mine to look, feel and perform the best it can to experience life through.

People that think it's about vanity are missing the point entirely. Rigging is a lot more technical than shoveling or lifting all day. Granted there are days when you have to mix 30 pallets of weight material, at lbs a bag, but there's a lot more to it than just grunt work. I didn't even know which end of the hammer to use before I got out working in the patch, now I can swap a blown turbo on a room sized CAT generator and not break a sweat. Oh definitely, I'm not disputing that.

I'm heading to Calgary myself for a job, getting sick of Edmonton and all it's crime, prostitution and drug problems.

I'm sure it ain't so rosey in Calgary but it's got to be a heck of alot better than Edmonton. Whats wrong with construction work anyways, you can build muscles and make money at the sametime, that's not so bad.

I'm just a skinny shrimp and I can handle it just fine working as a Tile setter. Sounds to me like you should look for something that involves Sales, I'm sure you can make some big bucks there. But anyways, don't blame you for leaving Edmonton! It's great hearing so many different opinions This thread will probably help a lot of people looking for work, or thinking of a change.

Self education maybe worth a lot to you, but not much to anyone else, so that doesn't really help you. Remember though, you can only do hard labor for so long before your body gives. What kind of experience do you have? A degree doesn't solve everything, and a quick look at any list of the world's richest people will prove that.

Most are self taught, and have no formal post-secondary eduation. Self education proves you're independent, a self starter, dedicated, resilient, goal oriented, etc, etc. It's much harder than going to school, and I feel it's much more rewarding. Don't get me wrong, degrees can help in MANY situations if the career you're after requires it it's the ONLY way in most cases , but many high paying jobs don't. Especially in markets like this, which was the entire point of my post in the first place.

I'm not afraid of hard work, but the rigs are out and so is going back to school for years. I was hoping this thread would bring out some ideas we all haven't heard 1, times before. And you obviously didn't read my posts I've been running a successful online business for over 6 years now. I don't need a lecture on business and marketing, thanks.

There are other opportunities than the rigs. Just because you never saw them doesn't mean they're not out there. Good call, that's probably the case.

I was hoping for some enlightenment. Originally posted by USED1 So far from your replies to this thread, it looks like you want a job where you sit on your ass and do nothing all day and get paid a ton of money to do it. Non destructive testing is huge too.

Life and businesses are always changing ALWAYS something new to learn.

I've considered sticking to building businesses full-time, but I feel like a change of pace. It can be a pretty stressful way to make a living. As far as why I posted this here, I figured if I asked a bunch of smart people and did some networking, I could find out a lot more than on my own. I didn't mean to come across as a dick, but I guess I did as I felt I had to defend myself. Anyhow, some interesting ideas here so far.

Best money-making opportunities in Alberta? [Archive] - seboxinero.web.fc2.com - Car Forums - Automotive Enthusiasts Community

Anyone done new home sales before? I've heard of some people making pretty decent money at it, but the company I know that's hiring has a really high turn-over rate for some reason. Go be a lineman. That'll give you a good work out, and pay is decent as well.

When you go on about some of the richest people in the world have no post secondary, well good they of course saw a good opportunity and stomped on it. To be honest in this day an age, with out a degree or 2, your going to be on the list of labour jobs.

School really isn't that hard, i don't understand why people don't accept it and go do well in that. I know more wealthy people who only have their grade 12 or less the people with degrees work for them. But not everyone I know with only a grade 12 does well. They end up the dirty guy bussing it home from the industrial area. Go to school dude. D a week will be suffice for a sick supra project: Power Engineering They typically sit on their asses for their shift - and in some places they even give you things to do TV, Bowflex, etc Originally posted by TrevorK Power Engineering They typically sit on their asses for their shift - and in some places they even give you things to do TV, Bowflex, etc Need 3rd class to get into most plants.

Thats 5 semesters at Sait. But the 4th can get you a very nice Field operator job! Checking wells, Compressor stations etc. I'm 4th going for 3rd in about a month. Great info guys, thanks!

And we made the second page, let's keep this going Power Engineering is a good field, and is offered in a few schools around Alberta. Red Deer offers it in night course format if you like that place.. NDT is also good trade, I am looking into the aviation side of it right now actually. Good trade that seems to have an expanding future and decent pay after a few levels of certification are achieved.

If you like math Instrumentation techs seem to do well, and there is a pre-employment course at SAIT offered, I think it is 3 months or so. Would you see a "self taught" doctor?? Being self taught is great, but university grads are a fuckload more marketable NOWADAYS then those without. Originally posted by doublepostwhore What is that? I'm not big on conventional medicine as it is, and I base most of my health and well-being on people with experience in natural health rather than prescription pushers.

Some have had formal schooling, like chiropractors and acupuncturists, some haven't. Did you know the average MD lives to 55 years old at least in the US, and I'm sure the stats are similar to here. And the good ones are almost always experience based vs school based.

Just wanted to express another side of the story here, as school isn't always the answer. I'll take results over academics any day. Sometimes academics and results go hand in hand, but just as often they do not. As far as marketability goes, you're probably right.

But then again that was never the intention of this thread anyhow.

I'm looking into a few of these ideas now. If you have any more suggestions, please speak up: The last person I knew that got into it was a tile setter for about twenty years. He is doing just fine.

You want a real good money making plan. It will be cash money once all the towers around here get built. Originally posted by mslbebiz Actually, yes. Haha its obvious that your not pro-formal education, which is completly fine since lots of people dont see the value but you would honestly go see a "self-taught" doctor? If thats the case I dont know if you have the brains to do alot of the jobs people are mentioning, maybe look for an assembly line job instead.

And also what exactly is this business that you run so effectively? Can you hook me up with an assembly line job where you work? Originally posted by mslbebiz Can you hook me up with an assembly line job where you work? D You wouldn't be interested in my career path, Im in school: I still dont see what your expecting to get from this thread however, short of running your own business still curious about what yours is your not gonna step into a k job that requires no education, where your superior self taught knowledge will be sufficient.

This is even more limited if your not interested in oil patch work. Looking for ideas from this thread, and I've gotten some great ones already too. It's been very helpful. My old boss owns Boccacino's on 12th and 4th I beleive, once all those condo's go up its gonna be a great investment. Originally posted by 88CRX You want a real good money making plan.

He keeps ignoring you: Originally posted by eur0 My old boss owns Boccacino's on 12th and 4th I beleive, once all those condo's go up its gonna be a great investment. Yum, that place is soooo good too. He keeps ignoring you I don't owe him any explanation of what my business is, especially after coming across so brash.

Plus I've already started what I do in this thread. Most are lucky to turn a profit in years. You're basically buying yourself a job. All the chain stores you see like Tom Hortons, McDonalds, Booster Juice, Money Mart, Benjamin Moore, etc are franchises.
