Saudi Arabia is already planning on the death of the oil industry. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4179974&forum_id=2#37610535) |

it's just all white dudes from midwestern states doing this stuff |

Date: January 17th, 2019 5:48 PM Author: Bat-shit-crazy Crystalline Gay Wizard Correct, also the shifts are brutal, long hours, constantly switching from days to nights, mandatory classes, studying, getting certified on various machines. My friend started a job like this, making good money, but he is suffering for it.
Probably better after four or five years and you become a plant manager, making 150-200k sitting in an office. |

Date: January 17th, 2019 5:51 PM Author: multi-colored zombie-like point After like 2-3 years, you can become a "board operator" and basically sit in front of computer screens all shift if you'd like.
I can't handle being stuck in one place, so I prefer to be out in the field away from everyone. |

Date: January 17th, 2019 5:58 PM Author: dashing double fault it's hard, REAL work, but those guys get paid respectably well. there are a lot of men who prefer these kind of jobs over office jobs even if office jobs pay more. this sort of career allows you to do that and still get paid reasonably well with a career track that lets you transition into management later on (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4179974&forum_id=2#37610523) |

Date: January 17th, 2019 6:07 PM Author: soul-stirring zippy halford yeah but maybe they do take it over an UMC office job in marketing, administration, or whatever that tops out at 100K give or take, 150+ on the coasts high end finance and tech is obviously a different beast |

Date: January 17th, 2019 6:08 PM Author: dashing double fault yes, there are actually countless millions of men who are like this - even a lot of asians like you
and i suspect that there are many more millions who are like this but don't realize it because they've never left the ivory tower of modern urban society |

Date: January 17th, 2019 5:52 PM Author: multi-colored zombie-like point Too late. Our female company president wants a 50% female workforce by 2020. Females are literally worthless for the most part out here. Good administratively, but seriously worthless doing anything that requires muscle.
