In terms of wages per week that's not too bad although by the sounds of it you are earning way more over the atlantic :P .

I get 2 or 3 days off per month, most go CRAZY after 3rd-4th month. We make money only because of the overtime. 20-30CAD$ an hour. The oil patch went down so these years are not good for newcomers. Oil patch pays way more. The Yukon is good for a less than 35 years old single male or a woman with a good set of balls (5-10% of workers are woman) than can be away for 6 months.

Well if you were to do a 40 hour week here on $20/h it is livable if your single, your gross income after tax would be $35,360 or $680 a week which is not bad but its certainly not gonna make you a millionaire either :P .
