Depends on what you do and where it is. I work with some guys that are contract operators now that used to work in Africa 28 and 28 and were making 300 a year after taxes. I have talked to Drilling guys from companies working in armpits of the world that were getting 100 K bonus and making 150 k salary. Working half the year. There is money working in and supporting the oil business. We had a blowout one time and the pipecutter on the crew that came with Boots and Coots made 9000 a day and that was 20 years ago.
