I’ve been offered a job in all three places to do welding but am looking for some advice. What would you guys do?

Welding in New Orleans summer sounds miserable

I’ve worked in Alaska and Nola, never Calgary. Working in construction in Alaska was much better than working construction in New Orleans.

Depends what kind of culture you enjoy

How much will you be getting paid?
What's the cost of living? Will the increased pay in Alaska make up for the increased cost of living?
If you're a male, what's the proportion of men to women?

Alaska. They literally pay you to live there.

Calgary is most expensive by a long shot. But for good reason.

Roger will be here shortly to let you know why Alaska is the greatest place ever to have 500k people living in 700k sq miles.

What do you enjoy away from work?

60-65K I’m not sure what the cost of living is like in Alaska.

I love hiking, drinking beer and going to movies.

Calgary is much bigger, so that's where the opportunities are. Especially if you're early career that's the place to go and it isn't close.
