越看越晕,NAIT, 其实就是一个高级技师学院,也就一大专的水平。去学个有证的车工,焊工,钳工啥的毕业之后在阿省工作大把,衣食无忧多好。这里有证的技师工资秒杀国内绝大多数的工程师职位。本地的工程师对有证的技师也是毕恭毕敬的。到NAIT学石油工程我还真不知道能学点啥,毕业之后能干点啥。Nait 的培训体系注重实践技能,但是没法教出合格的Reservior Engineer或者Drilling Engineer。 没有扎实油藏和钻井的基础,在石油行业混的话起步最多是个Opeartor。挣钱可能还不少,可那是野外的幸苦钱。而且还不如Machinist, Millwright, Weldler的技师有技术含量。  很多奔着工程师去的一般是NAIT修一些基础课然后去UA拿本科和Post Graduate 的本儿。话又说回来,石油行业的上下游业务都需要大量机械,热能,流体,储运,电气之类的技术人员。技师和工程师都需要,这些都是通用性很强的专业,技术过硬的话在哪儿都能混口不错的饭吃。: \) ?0 L$ F!

; L. u+ H9 C2 c5 G2 W2 {+ q
无论如何本地的工程师不是考出来的,需要实践经验。光靠学分干不了活,也拿不到本地的工程师称号。最好也别拿到,不然书呆子害死人。当然也不用把APEGA神话,抛去繁文缛节不讲,就是一个有理论基础,有实操经验,有同行认可的合格工蚁。

总体感觉楼主拿着国内那一套来硬套这里的情况属于驴头不对马嘴。你的情况在国内站稳脚跟之后,需要静下心来认真了解一下这边的实际情况。不然穿啥去油田也保证不了能找到自己的路。 啥行业拿多少钱有公开数据参考,平均数楼主自己去网上查。每个公司,每个人的情况千差万别,在这里网上YY帮不了你任何忙。同样不用天上一脚地下一脚的听故事,在这里混都大部分人除了知道自己拿多少钱,别的和你一样也主要靠传说。无论国内国外,打铁还需自身硬,能人在哪里都能找到好饭,自己不努力高薪放在眼前你也抓不住。

这一点是教育体制的差别。国内大家是批量生产的所谓工程师, 包括我自己。只要是个工类本科毕业生,出来就是助理工程师,混几年就是工程师。拿机械专业做例子,所谓的机械工程师不会开车床,没见过铣床磨床的很普遍。画图可能还行但是由于没有实操经验,经常设计出来一些缺心眼的产品,比如内孔上开个车刀都伸不进去的槽。这种“工程师”,除了做个懂点技术语言的助手,其他基本没啥实际用处。唯一的发展是投身一线自我不断地学习,历练。好处是理论基础扎实,尤其是数学和物理的功底。因为从大学阶段什么都教,而且所有的科目都是理论考试。爱琢磨的人基本没有什么科目能难得倒。
# N+ F9 b6 u, g; @
" K4 P, ^4 G# s, H& w相比较这里的学院,比如NAIT是以实操为主。 培养出来的Machinist技师车铣刨磨钳都很熟练,好像现在CNC也是必修课了。以养家糊口为目的的话,毕业出来各种实际的工作轻松拿下。但是你要是让他去算个应力变形可能还凑合,再难点设计个齿轮组就勉为其难了。用心的人自己去NAIT学完基础课,机械功底会很扎实,绝非国内大三水平可以比,有上进心的再去UA深造理论知识,出来很快就真正是个可用之材了。这也是有人选择NAIT毕业出来工作几年,赚够学费再回学校深造的原因。而且大家动手的习惯很好,以后真做设计了基本不求人,自己家车库里就什么都能来几下了。也正是注重实际能力的原因,可以理解楼上说的Technician证书难考。这里的Technician并不见得理论多高深,但是你必须要能够解决实际问题。很多是书上找不到现成答案的。. @/ f2 r% w* m5 ^% |2 V/ d4 z.

如果楼主是喜欢动手的人,我还是建议在这儿读个学院,正儿八经有一技之长之后先找个稳定工作。安身立命,然后再谋划下一步深造。找好工作的话Social networking和软技能比证书重要。

Power engineering has become like most other professions (too many people for the jobs available). I've heard there will be a big hiring pickup in the next few years as more plants come online, but your story seems to be coming from a lot of people recently. ( E8 J) ~; F% @6 D6 A0 H
I had to work terrible jobs for almost seven years before I got a good break. Even during the hiring blitz of the years past.......I couldn't even get an interview with an oil and gas company. Zero. So there is definitely no guarantee of a big paying job without the right ticket/experience. Where does one get that experience? Well that's the problem with every career out there. No employer wants you because you don't have experience. But you can't get the experience if you aren't hired in the first place.
$ _' y4 Y* j8 J: _3 T. cSeems like you are trying hard enough to get something. My advice would be to keep at it for as long as you can stomach it. Worse comes to worse you can try building operations. Some of those jobs can give you the time to get your third. Then you can start your second class papers. I've heard once some people start building ops they actually like it so much they don't bother trying to get into a plant (due to schedule, city living, etc). But let's be honest, the vast majority are getting into these days to get the big oil and gas money. Which is quickly becoming a brutally hard position to get into

I snap applied at Nova as soon as the job was posted. Followed up with a guy I was talking to there but no response. I don't know if I pissed him off or what cause he seems to have time to email my friend who doesn't even have his ticket, but I guess these are the thoughts you start thinking when you're desperate. Will try Agrium.

IDK....I love it here so I don't know if people turn their noses up at little places like this or what.

I feel your frustration. I am sure you have already applied to these ones, but the following companies are looking for operators according to their websites. Altagas, Pengrowth, Trilogy, Dow, Canfor, EnCana, Good luck and keep us updated.

Hi Wowsers.. Like you I have also struggled to find something and landed a spot at PA Pulp in Prince Albert SK. Since I started 3 weeks ago 6 operaters have left, mostly because the lower class guys (4th like me) are used to run front end loaders and rock trucks hauling ash. Boiler time is little to none but they give steam time (because you are feeding the boiler system with bark chips) and are running out of operator applicants. It is an option, and if you are interested my email is daltonreid111@gmail.com and I can fill you in on the details. Wish this site had a PM options!: o/ c/ s& o6 x, Z, P
