It takes a certain kind of person to deal with being gone all the time and missing time with family. IMO yall deserve whatever you can get because of what yall sacrifice. I dont have the guts to do it but you wont hear me whining about the compensation of those that do. Pure jealousy.
    Thank u for that sir im gone quite a bit and it gets old. But i do what I have to for MY FAMILY. I LIVE very humbly and still wear shirts my dad left behind when he died from the 90s ! Hopefully we find a happy medium and everyone is happy.

      You need to find a better paying job, they are taking advantage of you..
      I like to really make certain people mad (who know what I make) when I go to a store and after seeing the price say "Dang, I need to find a better job!"

        For example. I have family that work putting 4 or 6 bolts on the top of the well after it is "drilled" . Supposedly they pay him +$2k each to put these 4 or 6 bolts in and you have to be certified/licensed/? to tighten these bolts.

        Been in the patch for 35 years and never saw anything on top that had only 4 to 6 bolts in it.

My company can cut all that out if you are willing to come cook all our crew meals everyday on your dime while they are at work living in a hotel away from their family and then drive them everywhere everyday they need to go to do their job and we can use your cell phone to field all the calls and check all the work emails that have to be fielded out in the field while working. Would that make you happy?

          Wow! The statements made by those that are jealous of the money and perks others get for working away from their families doing a job most are not willing to do or not capable of doing just floors me.
          Very well said!!!!!

          Some people just dont have a clue in ther head on what we do out here. Just like to run their trap...

                    Now that is a good question.
                    I'm not at all jealous of any of the big bank Hank O&G guys but I sure wish one of them would take me hunting on some them fancy ranches. Live it up boys.
                    Gitter while the gittins good. I would.

                          o come'on, there's lots of other people out there that can slap that $100 bill out too. Oil field isnt the only place to make a dollar. Its todays nickle and dime

                            And the oilfield arrogance is why many want it fail. And to think the economy can't flourish without big oil at ridiculous levels please explain the 90's for me.

                              How was that tech bubble going?

                              Whichever way. People look at their little bubbles and think they won't be affected. Be happy over $25 per tank savings while American jobs are lost and YOUR money is buying oil from foreign countries instead of American.
