Maybe fracking creates jobs where an entry-level HS dropout can earn $20-30 bucks an hour while learning skills that will serve him a lifetime. Makes it worth dropping out and going for that GED diploma nights!
I wish I lived iN Texas and ywas younger, or healthier now, I habe 2 engineering degrees now, relocated to the south because the good jobs dried up in New England, and the pay down here is low and my skills are NOT in high demand
I would go into the oil industry or become an electrician if I had to do it all over again
