What? Why? Oil and Gas dudes make bank, though the jobs do seem like they suck ass. I know a guy who worked on a rig for a year and then traveled around the world doing whatever for the next few years. The thing about jobs is, they don't last forever, but people (usually people who haven't had much work experience) sometimes think that getting a job in one field means staying in that field forever. It doesn't have to be that way, but it can be hard to make a change, which is where I'm at right now . . . Let's say you worked oil and gas for . . . I dunno, 5 years and saved as much as you possibly could. That would be enough money to open up a dive shop with a little guest house and/or a little cafe attached to it, somewhere in the Pacific.I want to work at a professional brewery or as a manager in an operational excellence group at just about any place that isn't in the Gas/Oil industry.
