I worked on a land rig from the time I was 19-24. Double, rotary based out of Illinois but we drilled Illinois Indiana and Kentucky. Anyone who wants to work on a rig, Do NOT be scared. The first 2 months are the hardest but I promise after that your body is used to it. After a year out there the job got super easy and I remember thinking a lot of times “I can’t believe I’m making this much money to do this easy of work.
Don’t get me wrong, finish ups are a bitch. But on finish ups I’d always work a 16hour shift on overtime which made it much easier mentally.
Sorry for my run-on sentence and my shitty grammar. Like I said above I’m a roughneck not a English major.
Good luck men!
got any advice on getting into that? and I do hear rig work is good money, how much money is though and is it really that good?
you do realize if you or some other work partner of yours makes a mistake, you could die or get paralyzed. would not recommend this job.
@@zabihaamiraslan8671 that’s part of it,that’s why the pay is good because of the ratio of danger and hard work to pay

This reminds me of my dad, i never got to see my dad 10 months out of the year and went to go spend the summer with him in his rv, it was the best, he made some good money for our family and i got some real respect for him, rest in peace, 2 months since hes passed fuck cancer.

Thats the kinda guy I wanna work by. Straight up, clear n on point, just there to do his job n go home. Can tell he'd be easy to learn from
I just left offshore to go land based. Few things to clarify the biggest differences between the 2.
-Offshore requires significantly more vetting due to coast guard regulations along with maritime laws etc.
-Offshore also is alot more strict on safety. Almost laughable at times.
-Land based will generally pay more, because you will be allowed to work more. Offshore is generally around 50% of the year. Same job from offshore to land was a $20k/yr jump for myself.
-Offshore housing is free, but cramped and kind of shitty at best.
-Offshore food is 100% free along with snacks and drinks etc.
-Offshore is significantly easier in terms of getting breaks.
I went from contracting on the railroad, getting 0 breaks, 0 lunch, etc to offshore where (atleast my company Seadrill) there was a 15min break every 2 hours and you get lunch. During the 15min breaks, snacks are brought into break room. Generally things like quesadillas, pizza, sandwiches. Then lunch was usually really good. Like surprisingly good.
All in all, I would stick with land if you are looking for money. Unless you get on Overseas work, land will allow for more overall hours in the year along with potential per-diem.
Anyone looking to just get started QUICKLY, just apply for "roustabout" positions on almost any offshore job. They hire almost anyone that applies. Easy easy money. 12hr days and you generally only WORK for half. The work is 95% easy. The 5% that is not easy is all in your leg endurance. Be prepared to walk up and down stairs constantly. Idc how in shape you are, carrying tanks from u-deck to heli-deck will kick your legs after chasing tag lines for a few hours. Otherwise very easy job.
So even after Bidens band on oil pumping you can still find work?
@@dpro5321 where? I’m looking to offshore weld and having trouble finding anything
@@reterumstrict1091 I'd say the best thing to do is to find the recruiter numbers for some of the bigger offshore companies and reach out to them. Welding doesn't pop up alot in searches but it is is VERY important part of offshore work.
Try that route and see. You may have better luck talking to them directly

Same. Ive worked in oil fields for years as a laborer. 30/hr alaska. Non union would never accept my criminal history and probably escort me off the property
Background checks are ignorant because you miss a lot of good people who are willing to work just because they had a issue that may not even be their fault
Thomas Beck totally agree..or even people who are willing to work & just did something stupid when they were young. Everyone does stupid shit, but only some get caught. Those who get caught are punished excessively a lot of times
Great video, my wife and I are at work out here in west tx around Pecos on the rig as service hands. We are on day 94. We get people all the time asking about working out here and from my 20 years experience all those people are just curious but will never get up and head this way. The only person that ever did was my wife and I wouldn't do this without her here as my night hand. My advise to anyone coming out here is Save your money, dont finance anything, get the crappy truck to start with and buy the next more decent one cash as well. If you have a mortgage start throwing a lot into it to get it paid off fast. My wife and I drive an older murano out here but its paid for, along with our house etc. Use this influx of money to set yourself up to where if the industry crashes tomorrow (and it can) you can go be the greeter at Walmart to pay your electric. So many people come out here, start making 100k plus a year and finance the 80k truck, the 250k house, and the 40k new car for the wife and kids etc, then when the industry crashes they LOSE EVERYTHING. The cash way is harder but its the right way that'll make your time out here actually amount to something.
I can aree to this and I'm still in the field
Can you work part time I work 3 months on 3 months off in Alaska fishing in Dutch harbor. If I have 3 mo this off can I work up there for a couple months then go back to my other job? What’s the number or Website to get hired? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, if only more people who are actually working shared how they got their jobs. Honest man right here.
Listen to this man. This is a wealth of knowledge because he has actually lived it.
No get a fucking career unless you don’t want education
R L If you think you need an education to be successful then you’re pretty hard headed. Common sense and knowing your worth of work goes a long way.
MitchellR no sir I never said that don’t get me wrong this is good money actually great fucking money that why I said IF YOU WANT but with a high education you can make way more then this of course it will take a while but none the less this is great money for no education
R L Elon musk had no education he lived in a old shitty apartment with no bed and look at him know
R L the guy that owns IKEA had no education and his now a millionaire most successful presidents had no education they all dropped out
Or you could learn a trade being a pipefitter, boilermaker, electrician, etc. , work overtime and be home with your family every day ,while making a good living as well. It's whichever you prefer. I'll say this though-as you get older, you'll find that being with family is more important than the all mighty dollar.
You said it best. And nothing but the truth my friend, especially the last part.
Thank you for the wisdom!
i’m a plumber and i’m satisfied with it and my overtime. family doesn’t last forever, make time for them.
This is true until u get evicted
In most of us men life it's either work all the time and provide or be home everyday and struggle and make little money.
I only gave the oil industry a couple years. I started as a laborer running OH crane, forklift, acid tank, sandblasting, etc.
Worked my way up to an oilfield tech position and even ended up involved in some of the engineering aspects. Was one of a handful of folks able to rebuild our rotating flow control diverter assemblies being that it was in-house designed proprietary tech.
First time on a rig I got 8 hours of sleep total in 5 days. I give the rig boys respect where it is due, you have to be able and willing to work hard.
But no family time or holidays allowed, and most trades pay better. Oilfield is very anti-family and hit or miss.
Depends where you are, here in Australia O&G jobs get on even swings after a few years if your keen for them. Ie - 2 weeks on 2 off, month on month off etc. Not many Dads get to drop off and pick up their kids to and from school for a whole month so I'm told.

Man if I were younger I’d be on it in a heartbeat.
I worked jobs like that in the 90s after I got out of the military. Those jobs were diesel mechanic jobs for the railroad, we repaired locomotives, performed overhauls, field mods etc under contract with GE.
Best money I made back then. And yeah, you worked, hard, but everyone did and it was a blast. You left at the end of your shift feeling like you really accomplished something and like I said, the money was good.
I’m in my 50s now and I’ve got a decent enough job, but I sure do miss the camaraderie that came with that type of work.

Owning a trailer lot and charging $500 per space sounds easier
Duh genius but less than one percent of people own land. It's not easy or cheap
That’s how wealthy people continue getting wealthier! They literally have revenue streams that they don’t have to be physically involved in at all. I can’t wait to get done with school and get my cpa knocked out. Owning rental property/property in general can make someone a lot of money
Tyler Laster yeah but if you can’t physically be there then the maintenance work is even more complicated because you’re then hiring someone to do that for you, and that’s been a nightmare for a lot of people.
Bobby Dunnit true I’m sure it’s a headache paying a property manager but damn that is the easiest money you can make. Also, I doubt the lot he pays for comes with any type of maintenance.

@@ej832 must have super powers
I think people are not seeing that the largest part of the salary comes from overtime. You can get paid $18 an hour and work 80 hours a week and get paid $93,600. Living in the middle of nowhere working 7 days a week 12 hours a day is definitely one way to make $80,000 +, but if you take off a few months to rest at $30 an hour you are losing $12,000 every month so your paycheck can easily drop below $100,000 in 2.5 months of not working.

I like the positive attitude and encouragement to help people work who need work. At the same time “get in where you fit in” he said which is true because the oil isn’t for everyone. It’s hard work, and the culture is super ruthless, cutthroat. The ones who are making most the good money kissed a lot of ass to be where their at few are actually very good at their job.

Love it. True hard worker who DESERVES the pay. Learning new things on the job while being paid less. I wish most people understood the concept of learning new things on the job and separating yourself from the others who just wanna get a paycheck
î😅u😅u..edit my cat did thatx😂a🎉
Man..I'll be re-watching this for the next 2 months. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!! We will see next year..
He is saying ''it's not that hard'' but it is hard for most people. I worked fly in-fly out in the oil sands for 9 years and the hardest part for most people, in my opinion, was being away from their friends and family. Your friends and family typically move on. The weather is really harsh especially in the winter and even for us in skilled trades, the work is often menial. I didn't mind that, but a lot of people did - they wanted to advance their skills and not just sit in a truck waiting for safety permits and then pulling cable in a ditch. Most people can't do it, especially people who are not cut out for physical work. The job culture is also tough up there. The money sounds amazing but when you start making it, at some point (I) started seeing certain things as being more important than big money. Namely, not having to watch my kids grow up on a computer screen. And sure, I'm a mom but I found that a lot of the dads were having very similar issues.
You should've lead with "l'm a mom"...well, you aren't cut out for any of this.
I'm glad this popped up into the recommendations for other people.
Not to discredit Universities but once you're out of High school going to University doesn't have to be your only option.
Especially if you don't know what to do.
I'm currently getting into the automotive field, at the start the pay is average eventually it builds up.
Since cars are getting computerized the pay got higher.
At California, they got minimum wage made for auto technicians (24$/hr). With California being strict you can see it as a good thing if you live there already.
If you can work at Cali you can practically work everywhere else.
I’m a tax accountant in the middle of the city, thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions about your career, it’s really insightful for us who have no idea.
Brother?
Proud of you man, masters degree as an OT and your kicking my ass by 50k!!💪I travel and still hard pressed to net 75k - 85k after taxes and if I where to be paying my student loans I’d not be able to save 500 to 1k a mo. This whole country need a damn raise. Take care.
100k plus with no experience? Plus health benefits? Man I'm in Sweden and I'd take that and never think twice about it. God bless America.

Difference between rich and wealthy..... this guy, rich the guy that signs his check, wealthy
Marco Acosta well everyone has to start somewhere, you don’t just go from broke to wealthy. Takes money to make money
Bass ackwords
Wtf are you trying to say
@@Bryan22ER ud be surprised...... i went from homedepot to military manufacturing from 19k a year to 100k+ a year no school just by chsnging my attitude from idk how to do it, to fake it till u make it
Marco Acosta happy for you man thats good to hear, just remember that 100+k might not last forever so learn to invest and start up your own business where hopefully one day you are in a position to write a check to someone for 100k every year. It’s the beauty of our economy. Rags to riches.
Looking into this type of work. Thanks for the info Ima do what your suggesting and get on them FB groups
