[QUOTE="CompOrange04GT, post: 16064955, member: 125997"] My Job: I have burns on my body that will likely never go away. ( I say this as I Went to a funeral for a guy a couple years back who in the same profession who had the same burns.) From crude oil, and constant h2s exposure. Umm.. On thanksgiving at 3am, I was sleeping in my truck as I was called out Over 18 hour shifts are becoming common. Hell yesterday I started at 4am... got a call at 11am saying. " we are about to do a 12 hour job and have to have someone here" My job sites are a 3 hour round trip from home... so if I'm on call, Which is 2 weeks a month, i have to respond to any call. Which last week happened every single day from Wed-Sun. So quality of life at those times is basically shot. So at any point I could be sleeping or having dinner.. I have to immediately get home or wake up, and rush out to a site, even if I had just got home from a 15 hour day. But the pay.. is insane basically. I took an interview yesterday for a supervisor position at another company... 40k pay cut. I've lost count of the number of divorces I've seen. Deaths. Few suicides. It's a brutal industry. But at the end of the day I'm a high school drop out.... the only jobs outside of this industry I've had in my life, I didnt make over 500 a week. [/QUOTE]
