Most trademen's jobs are carried out by hugely low-paid labourers in the Middle East. Unless you're aiming for a managerial/ consultancy type job, I'd steer clear, as you'd be unlikely to earn anything near to what you would in the UK.

The side effects of being in a low-paid job out here are:
- not being able to bring your family out with you
- not being able to afford your own car
- probably not being able to afford your own apartment

... and there's the down-turn, of course!

Probably one of the worst offenders i'm afraid.

Best of luck. I hear Canada still requires skilled people.
