What about working on the mines? Qualified diesel mechanics that work on the mines here in Aus make $120 000 per year :o So many jobs around it aint funny :D

Calgary is booming with that, and i hear they pay 15$+/hr to mcdonalds employees b/c all the available employees are making more at the oil fields so they gotta lure them back

Re: oil field jobs
 

the real money is in Edmonton or further north. Fort McMurray pays mcdonalds, 7/11 etc $21/hr.

my friend is on his last semester in school for welding then he is looking at going to alaska to be a pipe welder for something like 28 an hour.

Re: oil field jobs
 

WTF? Cost of living must be sky high. I can buy "normal" decent brick homes here all day for 100-150k, but mcDs only pays 6.50/hr last I saw.

Re: oil field jobs
 

he could make that without freezing his ass off

serious

Re: oil field jobs
 

i make $30 an hour here in louisiana, i work at a citgo refinery. i just need some company names so i can get some info to send my resume' and make some contacts. i would recommend anyone that welds to rig out a truck and make some serious money. im also interested in going to russia or europe. im not afraid to work in the cold.

Re: oil field jobs
 

Not afraid to work in the cold, it just sucks complete anus. I'd rather get paid less and work in somewhat comfort. Heat I can tolerate, but having a numb body and all pain magnified sucks.

Re: oil field jobs
 

thats true, but if the money is right and the length of the job is short its all good. when i was in colorado most of my work was in the mountains and if it was too cold, i said "---- that, i'm not going out side". i guess the people i worked for understood or they just let it go because i brought some kick ass food to eat. hopefully i will be going to alaska in june. 3 weeks on 3 weeks off but only $37.88 and hour. but its 84 hours a week and thats $12,000 gross in only 3 weeks.

Re: oil field jobs
 

I would do that.

Re: oil field jobs
 

im just waiting on a phone call now. hopefully they will fly me back and forth. but if i have to buy my own tickets oh well.

Re: oil field jobs
 

In Alberta a welder with his own rig can easily make upwards of $120/hr and the company covers all fuel and rod costs, also LOA or free camp and the camps are nice as ----. All brand new, gourmet chefs, lcd tv in every room, full gyms etc.

Re: oil field jobs
 

Damn. now thats the ticket. i just need to get the hell out of the south for a while......i liked colorado but where i was living they didint offer much for someone my age as far as entertainment is concerned. i wouldnt mind working in canada either. something different and somewhere new

NO the average wind speed for this winter was like 70 mph :6

Re: oil field jobs
 

i was there in august of 04 and it seemed like it never quit. not to mention the cold ass rain. it took me a little while to get aclimated but it worked out. i miss the snow in the winter time and REAL seasons, here in the south all we get is fall and summer. but the occasional 2 weeks of cold.

Re: oil field jobs
 

I work on a Rig based out of Edmonton Ab, i make $31 per hour. We get free diesel too, and once you become driller you get paid $1 per kilometer for your truck at anywhere from 100-300kms per day. You can have downs syndrome here and still make 100k all day long..

Re: oil field jobs
 

travis does something. but i think that just means lubing his aunts rectum

Re: oil field jobs
 

i worked for precision drilling, thinkin about goin back to pantera drilling or something, maybe concord. rigger 4 life y0 :S

Re: oil field jobs
 

ive never had to work on rigs. just built the compressor stations and lng plants that go along with them. but 31 an hour is pretty good money.

Re: oil field jobs

Re: oil field jobs
