Im in this same situations right now. Ive worked in the oilfield for 5yrs now and for the most part hated every single sec of it... 110hr weeks, Texas/OK summers, being covered in oil and salt water, broken finger, broken ribs, torn tendons in my shoulder, scares all over my hands, seeing a guy crushed to death.... Its been a shitty fucking job. The only thing it has going for it is the money, and now that ive got use to that its hard to find something better that pays the same.
Ive been seriously looking since dec. Ive found one place I want to go to just cause of the money, benefits and travel possiblities. Hoping I get the job but I will just be swapping one hell for another. I know I wont like the job but its better/safer than the one im in.. ehh not sure why i typed all this
