Does it worth it to move to Alberta for a welding job? Considering the rent is so expensive there? I am a welder with 2 years exp. I am considering taking a High Pressure welding course so I can get a good job in Alberta, but THEN my friend advice me that the rent and expense are very high over there. Hence I have a question, does it worth the move? Cause I expect to make a lot of money working in Alberta. If the rent would already take out a big chunk of my income, then it won't worth all the trouble going there... ticketed journey man with 4 years of school and "B" pressure tickets make around 35 dollars per hour dental and medical plan 80% coverage.companys run from 10 hour days to 14 hour days 5-7 days a week.every 2 weeks about three thousand take home. rent for 1 bedroom apt.is approx.1000 dollars a month just saw this posting now ManKun in Montreal, Quebec said: I am a welder with 2 years exp.
