Wanna make $120,000 a year with no college degree or experience required?
There MIGHT be a job for you operating a Texas Wireline rig in Williston, North Dakota; America’s natural gas boomtown.
All you have to do is:
A) Have a commercial drivers license.
B) Be able to pass a drug test.
That’s it! Of course you have to have the mental and physical stamina to work 56 straight hours but that’s no different from being a medical intern at your local hospital. And the compensation is as much as a medical doctor without the endless years of schooling or the sky high student loan debt.
All one has to do is be willing to WORK.
I’ve considered this route however there is one major problem:
Mathematical skills degrade if not used and while working in this job I would be practicing my skills. Therefore, I would become quite rusty and may not be qualified to work in a more rigorous field such as an analyst.
It’s a catch-22.
