I’m in first semester of grade 12. I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. I get good grades when I apply myself, but I don’t really see any point to school, therefore I rarely apply myself. I have a loving family and will probably live at home for another 4-6 years. Having said that, that gives me 4-6 years to prepare financially for living on my own. If I work out at the oil rigs in Alberta for say 2-3 years and make over 100k, I could put that money in a savings account for a few years. Let’s say I’m 22 and have 100k in a savings account. If I leave that money in there and let the interest build for a few years say at 4% annual compound interest I would have about 112k in the bank. This doesn’t even account for the money I could save working from ages 22-25. Anyways so I’m 25 and have about 120k in the bank (save 8000 at least from ages 22-25 from part-time job). I buy a $100,000 home with 5% down payment for 20 years. The trick is I wouldn’t have to pay for any of my down payment bills because I’d have 120k in the bank and the 5k interest I’d be making a year in my savings account would suffice for the 5k down payment bills a year for my house. So that would leave with insurance bills, electricity bills, gas bills, food bills, telephone bills, etc. but NOT house bills.

Christian Horizons is a great place for people with no college or university education to make a living. Starting pay is 16$/hour once you’re 18. If I managed to work 30 hours a week (and that’s not even that much) by age 22 I’d be making 25k a year. Plus you get raises over the years (my mom makes 20.5$ an hour). I’m sure 25k a year would be enough to live a comfortable frugal lifestyle. If I worked 40 hours a week at 16$/hour I’d make over 33k a year which would be even better. When I’ve worked there for around 15-20 years I’d be making 20$/hour therefore if I worked 40 hours/week = 41.6k a year. This is good money for no post-secondary education!

I’m not really into having a super fancy house or car. I just want enough so that I can live comfortably and be debt free without wasting years of my life in college or university. Does this sound like a good plan? Even if I did have a family, my wife could have a part time job to make ends meet. I like educating myself for real life use. Other than that, it’s just a number on a paper for me.

Which begs the question, what do you think of post-secondary education? Would you advise me to go based on what I just told you?

*Note: Age 22-25 after working in the oil rigs would provide even more income which could be saved into my bank account so I could buy even better than a $100,000 home.

If you can earn 100k a year then you should do that for as long as you can and live on as little as possible. If you earn 100k a year for 5 years that’s 1/2 million dollars. If you buy a 200,000 dollar home and put the rest of that money in some good growth stock mutual funds earning between 8-12% interest when you get ready to retire you will be a multi-millionaire. The math is very sound. And college is not for everyone.

I can tell you that having a college degree will open doors for you that otherwise wouldn’t be opened, it is not necessary to be successful financially I know lots of broke doctors, and lots of rich farmers. A degree does not equal success. It seems as though you have a good level head and you will be successful at what you do.

Post-secondary is unnecessary. What do you think? is a post from: Oil Rig Jobs

So, you would think if someone is willing to handle the clean-up with equipment and technology not available in the U.S., and finishes the job in shorter time than the current estimate, the U.S. should jump on the offer.

But it turned out to be quite the opposite. .

According to Foreign Policy, thirteen entities had offered the U.S. oil spill assistance within about two weeks of the Horizon rig explosion. They were the governments of Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Republic of Korea, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United Nations.

The U.S. response – Thank you, but no thank you, we’ve got it.

"..While there is no need right now that the U.S. cannot meet, the U.S. Coast Guard is assessing these offers of assistance to see if there will be something which we will need in the near future."

By Dian L. Chu, Economic Forecasts & Opinions

It is hard to decide if Obama is the most arrogant fool we ever had for a president, or if he is intentionally trying to make the oil spill worse.

I suspect he is intentionally destroying our economy so that an all powerful government can come in and redistribute what little wealth we may have left.

I think this certificate will be provided by the company which is recruiting you but these fellow are asking from our end.

And one clarification I want to share that no-one will provide you any advance payment of 2/3 months but they are giving such.
So I think these are fake one.

how do I aply for working papers for my new husband from Canada. We now live in the US and I am a citizen.? is a post from: Oil Rig Jobs

Okay here is the problem.

1. A lot of people have no room to complain they drive really BIG TRUCKS and SUV’S for no reason except to try and impress their neighbor and drive to Wal-Mart for goodies-you should get mad at them.

2. The oil companies may be charging more BUT that does not mean that most the gas problem is caused by them-farmers right now are making a fortune selling wheat does that mean they are price gouging? NO! Oil companies are making record profits becasue there is LESS SUPPLY and MORE DEMAND=more profits now to the reasons it is expensive.

3. Speculators, investors, traders-on Wall-Street play the little commodities game like a fiddle. You can buy FUTURES contracts on oil and they are 1,000 barrels per contract. As you can see Rich people are buying the oil FIRST and then when the demand gets higher i.e. rich people are hording it, they turn around and sell it to you and I later—the poor people. Thank you WAL-STREET.

4. Environmental nuts who think that OIL COMPANIES and oil exploration companies shouldn’t be drilling for oil. These are the crazy tree huggers that you see dangling off bridges; according to them the U.S. economy should shut down, and really we shouldn’t be driving at all, or using electricity, or breathing…or really we shouldn’t even be alive.

5. The falling value of the U.S. dollar caused by Excess money printing to fund the War in IRAQ by the great George Bush whom we should all stand in awe at! What a great job he has done.

6. OPEC only pumps oil to 50% of their capacity. Yes this is true MIND YOU that is still plenty of oil for all of us if they pumped it faster all the Rich people on wal-street would just buy more of it. However if they pumped a little faster YES it would help to a small limited degree but MOST of our oil comes from Canada and the U.S. Anyway–85%.

7. China is using gas-more gas usage=less supply and more demand=price is going up.

8. The government puts a HUGE tax on gas Like about a dollar of what you pay goes right into funding the war and other stuff the government does (crazy politics)!!!

9. Some gas station just like to GOUGE you a bit. While it is true that most the gas stations really ARE NOT making all that much off gas some still overcharge. Be aware however that MOST gas station do not do this they only make like 20 cents a gallon or so i.e. they charge just above the MARKET price that the U.S.A. is getting.

10. Are these enough reasons? Are you at all surprised that it is going up?

What we can do about it you might be asking? Well first you can try to LIMIT the size or your car and fight for bills being passed that regulate large ridiculous monster trucks around town. THIS WOULD REALLY HELP!!! Second you could try to vote for a president like Ron Paul and Hope the elections aren’t rigged. Lastly you could plan your trips out betting and shop at places nearby and NOT drive across town to go to Wal-Mart to save a whole 2 bucks on a bunch of groceries NOTE: people do that . It’s gunna get worse.

So lets review why it’s high in case your wonder later on.
–War In IRAQ and falling U.S. dollar (too much printing)
–Trading and investing on Wall-Street (some RICH GOONS PLAYING THE MARKET LIKE A FIDDLE AND HORDING OIL TO SELL IT TO ME LATER FOR A HIGHER PRICE)
–Environmental CRAZIES (no oil drilling or exploration)
–Big Taxes (The Gov is the biggest business of all time)
–China (They live driving now too)
–OPEC (why pump more when it’s a limited resource and we can charge more later–don’t pump fast)
–Gas Stations being Greedy (Hey Some are)

At anytime you can ponder and review these in your head lol. I hope this helps and good luck.

Peace

#1, it’s not Yahoo that deletes these questions but rather the trolls. If enough of them don’t like your question they will report it until it gets removed and most of the trolls are children and #2 this is not a question, it’s a rant.

My BF does will keep his permanent address in Canada. How would he go about filing to work in the US so he can apply for job positons within the oil rig industry in America?

My other question is: if the oil rig company is International with a brac\nch located in Canada and the US…is he able to work for that company without having to be sponsored in the US?
Please provide any links for applications.
I am not understanding how it is super easy…apologes I am new at all the terminology…I read up on NAFTA…they are requiring him to ahve an employer letter…but he does not have a job as of yet and it can take up to 6 months to be approved. Help…

It’s super easy… Canadians can work in the US without a visa. There is a form, though.
