Can you make 100k as a floorhand/roustabout if you work year round? I want to go from rig to rig and bank cash for 2 years

You have to not know what 4chan is to make it on a rig, buddy.

lol I don’t think you know what you’re getting yourself into and no company is going to want the risk of a job hopping floorhand in one of the most dangerous lines of work

Don't you have to be a Chad to be a merchant marine or go to military school? Any hick can work on an oil rig.

Dont listen to those other plebs.
You probably wont make 100k a year with the price of oil right now but you can probably pop off 80k.

Probably the most honest and truthful post I’ve seen on this post in a while.

It is very hard to work in any capacity with “normal” people if you’re even slightly above IQ and intellectually interested in anything. You will constantly be forced into small talk about “some bitch I just nutted in” and “I told that bitch I’d eat her ass.”

In the past several years I’ve worked construction and am now working in a grocery store. Dealing with coworkers is the most exhausting part. Once in a while I get a reprieve and get to have an interesting conversation with a customer, such as last night in discussing the bovine genetics, dairy, and meat industries in various nations, after which I’m always inevitably asked “so...uh, why are you working here?”

The sad answer to that is because of ruining my former comfy life because of drugs and garnering multiple felonies for “fraud” in the process.

Once you’re here, you’re not gonna enjoy any of this wagie bull shit until you come up with a new route of escape.

An oil rig is literally a congregation of plebs you moron.

I know a literal oil baron from South Dakota and I have been to several of his rigs. They are miserable serfdoms filled with dirty plebs.

Not true. You have to be the most degenerate fuckwit to make it on an oil rig. Those kind of dudes who did hard time and inject shady shit into their veins. All good, though, your odds of getting blown up due to some other fuckwit's fuck up is actually pretty good
