I've found a lot of post-recession grads like myself have not found stable employment anywhere in this country. Most of the people I went to college with, either here in Calgary or in Nova Scotia, have ended up with having to deal with a reality of temp jobs. Get hired by a company to do an 8 month contract in Fredericton, then sit around unemployed for a while until the next opportunity rolls around, and then do six or seven months in Fort St. John, move closer to home while sitting around unemployed again, and then it's back across the country on a four month job in Fort Mac.

Sure, there's a few people that nail down regular jobs, and I've managed to be one of them, but it really feels like we are the exception.
