Goin Campin' (?)

I talked to the friend I mentioned last post, the one that works for the hospitality company for remote camps, about the Assistant Manager’s position today.  Over the course of the conversation and after discussing it with my Dad I have decided to send in my resume.  She is actually going to the same camp and logically convinced me that it would be an excellent opportunity.  The money isn’t quite as good as I mentioned last post but it’s still more money than I’ve ever made in my life, and is still more than most people make, and room and board are free!  Not to mention that it’s only three weeks of work with every fourth week off and they’ll fly you to Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary or Montreal as well as give you an extra $100 towards any extra travel from those locations.  If the job is offered to me and I decide to take it, it’s likely that I’d be able to have my remaining debts paid off (including my car) within 6 months!  

The position is Assistant Manager of a commissary and Tim Horton’s (I’m not sure how the Timmy’s works in there) and all training is included.  My friend pointed out what I’ve already figured out… all companies down here want experienced people and there are just too many boomers running around to make it worth while to hire a young inexperienced person.  If I get the position and it works out the experience alone would be invaluable and the money would be absolutely amazing.

I’ll be sure to keep ya’ll updated.
