lmao @ all these losers complaining about being unemployed or making a low wage. Why haven't you taken the OILpill?
Literally the boom times are back, in alberta, Saskatchewan, Texas, North Dakota, wherever the fuck oil exists. All you need is some steel toed rubber boots and just show up, they will give you first aid training and you WILL make 100k your first year. If you have a degree to trade education you WILL make at least 150k starting, after 5 years people are making 350k even lowly truck drivers and shit
Now the venezuela is in civil war the price of oil will go up to $70/barrel, then $90, then $120 and you're going to see some serious shit and make easily 500k a year with overtime
nope, its dominated by nepotism and illegals willing to work for less than a journeyman
its also why there has been a huge increase in refinery explosions
Justin Moore
I had an uncle who worked on an oil rig for a few months until he hurt his back. He said it was the hardest he had ever worked and very unsafe. That is why the pay was good.
Aaron Morgan
Jow Forums could not do a real man's job like that, so don't even bother. Most here can't even leave their bedrooms without getting scared.
Aaron Murphy
Laid off oil and gas worker. It all depends on the region. In my area they pay the lowest. Expect 12-17 an hour. 12-15 for most of it. It can end very easily.
Oliver Hill
Sources?
Austin Russell
With US pumping domestic oil like crazy the boom times in Alberta aren't coming back without BC approving a pipeline to the Pacific and that will never happen lmao
Lincoln Bell
Im about to graduate with a finance degree
how does finance work in the oil industry pay?
Hudson Hall
Horseshit, I work frac. They won't even let temp workers on site. No beans.
Jayden James
Exactly. I make 13/hr in a climate controlled environment with free food and I get to flirt with waitresses (and I am a pipe welder). The ND oil boom is over unless a lot of things change.
Julian Johnson
The unemployment rate is ft mac is already back down to 5% and even lower in places like grande prairie, and only 6% in Alberta as a whole and it's mostly laid off calgary office cucks
Jaxon Rodriguez
go on normiebook and search 'turnaround jobs', join a few of the groups and youll start getting job openings on your news feed as they come around, itll give you a better idea of it than anything on Jow Forums unless someone here is willing to give you name phone number job location job details, hourly pay, the per diem, etc like on normiebook
Luke Butler
Gas frac is huge in WV and not going anywhere. So much ng here. Pay is low but so is the cost of living. 94% white. Biggest city is 50k.
Chase Thomas
Doesn't change the fact that oil is selling for half the price it was this time 5 years ago
Ryan Ortiz
See this is the problem with Canadians. Fuck BC and fuck the indians, run the pipe line up and over. NWT would fucking shit their pants for the $$$ coming in.
Ethan Lee
I was talking about the people who build the refineries, who rebuild them, or remove them entirely, not the lowest skilled labor who comes in after the fact, I'll take your word for it that much is not dominated by nepotism
Leo White
>you WILL make at least 150k starting, after 5 years people are making 350k
anyone believing this is a retard
Aiden Barnes
stop projecting you weak faggot. just kill yourself like you’ve always wanted
Logan Flores
You don't even have to work in the oil industry directly you could literally just drive around to sites and sell energy drinks $20/can and people will pay for it, when oil goes back to $100+ a barrell you could probably sell energy drinks for $50/can and water bottles for $30/bottle. If you do the welding meme you could make 200k starting some boomer welders are making 700k-1 million
MWD, DD, and Co Man are the best jobs in the oil patch
I dunno why more people don’t slave away for a couple years to pay off debt. Lot of money to be made quick if you work hard
Luis Parker
This I know a dude who literally brings a harbor freight trailer to all the frac sites. 1000 bucks of investment and it ran from there. Most of us are working 16-20 hour days. We don't have time for anything. He sold safety glasses, water, packaged food, ice, drinks and energy drinks for triple the normal price and they paid. Bottom of the lease road so the frac company can't say shit.
Michael Richardson
are there physical requirements? do you need to be a big strong man or could a short trap do it asking for a friend
Matthew Russell
sounds like a straught jew thing to do
Nathaniel Taylor
Considering the money they make, the convenience and services he is providing it seems fine to me. Now that I am unemployed the real Jew thing to do would be join in and under cut him....
Jack Myers
Most of the roustabouts and hands are skinny, but can sling pipe around like you on grindr
Xavier Lewis
My foreman was a 50 year old 5'0 Portuguese guy, strong and alpha as fuck, women loved him he fucked one of my friend's mom and ended her marriage
Nicholas Martin
Except the wage for someone new doing the grunt work is about $50k. $100k is supervisor/manager something more specialized and requiring knowledge and skill like a proper technician or welder. It's also just a shit job.
James Lee
good to know thx m8 top fucking kek also holy shit i'm taller than a white guy for once in my life
Connor Martin
You're exposed to all kinds of deadly chemicals and carcinogens. Most oil workers die young of cancer.
Liam Peterson
As long as you don’t show up drunk, high, or with a shit attitude and just work hard/ask questions you’ll be fine
Lucas Jones
Till now I have no idea whats the deal with BC, Chuggs and Oil pipelines.
What the heck is going on?
Oliver Phillips
look at my flag
Jonathan Moore
Based and mudpilled
Brayden Thomas
everytime i do it makes me gag
Ethan Davis
Considering that I will have 5 years od experience in guided boring and pipeline construction what job could i get abroad? Will my degree in petrol and gas engineering and drilling technical school mean something in western companies?
Sebastian Stewart
aren’t you worried about the green new deal user?
Hudson Jackson
That just means more natural gas instead of coal which means MORE drilling
You could probably make 300k starting
Nicholas Lewis
Environmentalists in BC dont want it. The feud between the BC NDPers and Kenney once he takes office is going to be great. This issue is only going to get bigger
Christopher Gray
Pretty sure 0 xp hands on north Dakota oil rigs start at 25 / hr. Not to bad if
Evan Miller
>13/hr >pipe welder Wait, shouldn’t that number be higher?
Hudson Lopez
Every online jobs posting for this sort of thing pays that much. Greatest economy ever right?
Ayden Cook
If that would be the case I would mean selling my youth at resonable price.
Blake Morris
300k starting is a Jow Forums meme, with the current BC government there is no need for pipeline construction workers
Nicholas Roberts
What about the 'splosions though?
Jace Fisher
Fuckin pinkniggers
Wyatt Anderson
Jesus I have had my A.S in instrumentation for months I apply to 4-8 jobs a day why dont I have a job REEEESSE
Adrian Ross
>300k starting is a Jow Forums meme It's not. I got a degree in mathematics and could choose literally any job I wanted, 300k starting. All because /sci/ told me to all those years ago.
Owen James
my truck driving pay stub from 3/1/2015 in the bakken...
hours were not as bad as they look.
Oil company A wants saltwater hauled away. company B wants some hauled in.... bill both double pay...
Woah, this is strange. I work on an oil rig and was just talking about how most people's opinion if what we do is what they see on stock photos. I just pulled this photo up an hour ago.
Brody Reed
True. McDonalds in Pecos TX is paying like 15 an hour. I wanted to just make and sell burritos. If any user has the slightest will to make money it can be found in West Texas. Sadly, all my friends are lazy and none want to come out here to make money.
Meanwhile, I've been here for one year and I'm already getting my own rig to manage for our company. It's fucking nuts. Just be sure to save it all for the crash.
James Wilson
>50k >Bad pay
Lel. This is why foreigners come and take the jobs. That's great pay to live on. The upward mobility is also great. Sure the work can suck, but it beats going to college and getting in debt
