I'm totally curious if you don't mind me asking. How much do they pay? Its it hourly or salary or what?

from what I understand McDonalds is around $17 an hour to start...but that could be gross exageration.

as a rig hand, they get shift work. 4 on, 4 off. and i think its around $25 an hour

from what i hear, $22/hour at Tim Horton's to start
I am in Calgary right now. McDonald's and most similar places pay $12 per hour to start. That includes Timmys. Only way you'll get over $20 is if the location is unionized. For example, a Tim Horton's located in a hospital would be unionized with the rest of the hospital employees so they would be paid a premium. But that's more of an exception.

Don't know anything specific about working the oil rigs (rig pigs as they are known), but I've heard it's $80+/hr to start. Plus they provide accomodations when working in northen Alberta. Also heard you work 3 weeks on and 2 weeks off. When on it's 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week. And it's tough work. Would have to look into it though.
