for it me it doesn't make a difference. Rigging got me more interested because I'm into camp work.
My goal is to go for 2 years and save a ton a money, and go fromt here. Also I was hoping to work for one of the bigger companies and get transfered overseas.

You don't have to live in Fort McMurray to work in the Oil Sands. I'd say half the workers in the region stay in camp and get flights provided to them.
Doing a 2 year plan isn't bad. Shitty thing if you were to work the rigs is that you never work directly for an oil company. At least with the Oil Sands the oil companies here hire quite a bit of people which opens quite a bit of doors. Also, a lot of service companies / contractors are international. A few of the drilling rig companies are big enough and are international. When I was working Derrickhand I was offered to go to the middle east somewhere and Australia. Wish I went, turned it down because I was tied to a nicely shaven little box.
