If I enrolled in University right now I would put my money on Geology, Metallurgy or Structural engineering.

Or Petroleum or Mechanical or Chemical or Electrical Engineering. The industry is short on all of them.

My niece went to the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and was recruited by a major oil company supplier five months before she graduated.

Forget about software. If you have hard engineering skills in this market you can write your own employment contract.

Right now in the Alberta Oil sands they are flying in truck drivers from Edmonton and sending them home by plane at the end of their shifts. It's nuts!!!!!!!!
