I used to know a guy that was a Head COOK on a gas and oil rig in the Gulf. He was pulling in $100k+ a year.
Of course he was out on the rig for months at a time, so he didn’t have a lot of time to spend any of it...............
One of those jobs where you do it right and keep the crew happy or else you will be swimming with the fishes.
I worked on a rig in the late 70’s, we made a ton of money, with little or no time to spend it. Best damned thing t6hat happened in my life, there is No Such thing as hard work after working on rigs.
