I would live on one temporarily, like if they needed a contractor to repair some machines or help plan new electrical infrastructure. I would rather live on Earth and work in space for limited periods.

It would probably pay extremely fucking well, working in offshore oil rigs already pays pretty high due to the risk and time commitment.

I would take a big shit on Mars and then zoom off with the BFR.

No it wouldn't pay well at all considering it would be a novelty and the type of technically skilled people are exactly the type of people willing to PAY to do that work.

Oil rigs have no such fantasies or romanticism to them so nobody wants to do it bringing up the average pay.

That's like saying being an astronaut doesn't pay well because it's romantic, or being a pilot. Both of those pay well, but if you only care about money the answer is always to go into finance.

I'm a EE but with a specialization in Precision Engineering for semiconductors. Don't go work in the petrochemical industry. It's extremely oversaturated and while your starting salary is good you will quickly reach your pay limit and have no valuable experience that can be used outside of the industry. Most friends that went working in petro after getting their bachelors instead of getting a specialization deeply regret it and are thinking about switching careers altogether.

My tip is go join a EE fraternity and ask around. Most will tell you horror stories about the petrochemical and also mining industries.

Most people cling to the high starting salary but that's a really big mistake to make. Look at growth potential and valuable (marketable) experience instead which will pay off more in the long run.

Finance has lopsided payments meaning the income distribution is extremely concentrated in the 0.1% top performers while the rest make pittances. If you don't already have the connections and know how before you even go into finance then you won't make bank.

Software developers and computer scientists have a similar structure but it's more like the top 20% have reasonable pay while the bottom 80% don't have very good pay.

Engineers have the most distributed income out of all fields making it far easier to have guarantees of good money. It's important to look at the median incomes, median retention rate/turnover and median experience.

Engineering is the best if you want to be guaranteed of a decent income.

You must not know anything about commercial aviation.

It suffers from exactly that. Pilots that aren’t Boeing or Airbus captains make shit pay, and are treated like shit, too.

Aviation guy here again. I make at least 5 times the highest paying astronaut salary, according to some quick googling. I am not a professional pilot btw, because of this kind of shit. I fly for fun only.

What economics does this colony have that it's going to be worth them flying someone to mars and back to fix a broken sprocket?
Also you'd ideally have a lot of cross training and redundancies with specializations, especially on your first few waves.
It's not like earth where you're basically withing 24 hours travel of any other place on the planet, where you can be brought in to put out fires. You've got to wait for good launch window, and still spend months-to-years traveling to get there.
I'm sure there will be plenty of consultation earth side, but by telepresence. Everyone on the ground would be a swiss army knife technician who should be able to fix, repair, maintain, and expand any essential machinery.
Just like the pioneers of old, you bring the essentials and the tools to build better tools so you can bootstrap yourself as fast as possible.

Not likely. Your ticket to Mars will probably be something you pay off with your income, or, like Antarctica, you work for free for a free trip. So, the company bones you with a ticket that they arbitrarily set the price for, you shop at the company store, and you cannot find another employer. Still would go without hesitation.
