Bowman is a power engineer for AEC. They take raw gas and process it to
make the gas a useable commodity. It's amazing how one's life is changed
by mentors in a business. Melanie spent four years working for a financial
company before deciding to change careers. She spoke with a power engineering
instructor at the local college. She decided to go for it. Good choice!
She got hired at the Alberta Energy Company right after graduation.  Did you know? 30% of Canada's energy production was exported in 1999. To be an operator at the Alberta Energy Company, the starting wage is $36,000. With more experience and qualifications you can earn up to $58,000. Melanie's future goals include remaining at AEC. She would like to get her second class steam ticket and become a board operator.
