The oil patch is one of the few places where people that barely finished high school can make $300,000 or more/year.

or someone with a PHD would flop around on the ground like a fish out of water.

I almost got fired for saving the life of an Exxon engineer.

I grabbed him by the back of his neck and threw him out of the way before he was crushed by a forklift load of 9 5/8” casing.

The forklift operator had dumped the load on the rack and it was rolling too fast for the Exxon engineer so he got in front of the load and was going to stop it before it hit the other pipe on the rack.

Had I not pulled him out of the way he would have been crushed to the point he would have been pretty much cut in half.

The thanks I got, he tried to get me fired for putting my hands on an Exxon engineer.

When his boss got in my face about putting my hands on an Exxon employee I let him know I’d be more than happy to let him get crushed.

Exxon pulled their engineers out of the pipe yard.
