Do you think working 2 weeks on/ off for the rest of the life will work out?

Is oilfield job stable? Will oilfield medics at the EMT-P level always have jobs?

Are the driving conditions in Alberta very dangerous for the medics as some people say?

Thanks,

But I also came to know about the 2/2 industrial work for medics in Alberta Oil Sands and thought that would be a good option for my situation. My long term aim is to work as an Advanced Care Paramedic (EMT-P) in Alberta industrial sites.

Hello Medic Tim,

I am about to begin my Primary Care Paramedic diploma here in Ontario and intend to work in the Alberta Oil sands. I have seen a few of my friends have severe back problems after working in the municipal EMS and some of them even had career ending injuries. This made me rethink my Paramedic career choice.
