Jobs in the oil field FRACKING pay top dollar....truck drivers at $80K and above .....roughnecks the same and wireline operators well (no pun intended) in 6 figures.
If I were single or we were able to go out there, I would have been gone long time ago. Surely with my mix of techninal, ancient mechanical/heavy equipment I could find something.
For a long list of reasons I can’t (family related). I am doing OK not great but OK.
