Discouraging

[Woody]

I would sleep in my backseat for a year for that kind of cash if I was single.

You apparently haven't been in northern midwest during jan or feb.

As most of you know, there is an oil boom of epic proportions going on here in North Dakota. My cousin, who is 3 years older than me, flunked out of high school and can barely count to 10. He landed a job and makes well over $200K a year as a driller and just bought himself a 2014 Corvette Stingray..with cash, no loan. Here I am, making a modest paycheck but I get discouraged when I see the kind of money these guys are making. It makes me upset to see guys making $200K a year and blowing it on a car that they will only be able to drive 4 months out of the year.

Are they still hiring?

They are always hiring. My uncle inlaw is in that industry. People are consistently cycling threw, and with more and more rigs up there going in. They need more guys to work them. Lots of dudes get fast cash and go all dummy and do a bunch of stupid shit. It's a rough and rowdy group.

They are still hiring, especially here in Texas where the winters are a bit milder. Keep in mind that you don't start as a driller, usually takes 3-5 years to get to drilling and even most drillers don't get to $200,000 unless they "work over" a lot or are drilling for a company that pays bonuses for performance. My friend has passed up drilling because he would have to move to a job that doesn't pay production bonuses and wouldn't have the opportunity to work over as much. My buddy works over every chance he gets except during duck season.

I lived in MN for 4 years. I would make a thick comforter stuffed with $100 bills, and smile myself to sleep every night.
