Learned a lot of good stuff there too!
The main reason for NS or MB is the cheaper housing. we really want to be able to buy a nice house and it seems like it may be a struggle in BC or AB. I have spotted some good jobs there, but not sure if the wages would equate to the cost of a mortgage.
Still keeping a little bit of an open mind though. |
I was in Aberdeen pre-oil; 1969-70 and worked for DAFS as an instrument technician.
You are correct about the housing cost here in BC; fortunately I bought at a low spot just after the Asian financial crash in the late 1990's. Keep your options open though. I don't think it is conceivable that prices here can hold up past the Olympics.
