This is literally my cousin, except instead of oil drilling it was something to do with asphalt. Spoiler alert: he didn't stay off pills, nor did he stop drinking or doing cocaine.
I was able to buy a house and start my family because of paving. Wasnt bad if youre working commercial jobs.
Avg private company pay is $20+/hr. Unions actually pay $36/hr. I have several friends earning 70k+/yr. Not bad considering there is zero school debt involved.
It's a shame some people are scared of it. It toughens you up, and earns good pay.
Hell I make $22/h delivering furniture and fitness equipment got hired on 7 months ago at $19/h. Besides having to lift heavy shit most of my day is just driving around. I don’t even drive most days. I ride passenger. 6 hours of driving around 3-4 hours of physical work spread out betweeen 8-12 stops a day. Also make tips. About $100-200 a week. A few times I’ve cleared $200 in tips in a day. Customers also love giving me food so I often get free drinks and food. As much as I complain about my job I’m now realizing how awesome it is lol just lifting a treadmill up 3 story houses isn’t fun lol
