Rig work. That's the busy season.

 

[handyandy]

That's what I was thinking. Im hoping I can get something thats 2 weeks on 1 off or something like that so I can still snowmobile and help my dad with the feedlot

 

[DaveB]

Send resume's to Precision, Ensign, Akita, etc... (search drilling rig contractors). Typical shifts are a week of days, a week of nights and a week off.

 

[handyandy]

That sounds alright. Thanks for the advice!

What kind of starting wages should I expect

More than minimum wage....so a lot more than the experience you are bringing to the table usually gets....IF you get hired.

 

[deaner]

Holy cow.....roughnecks are starting at 30.70 now. I remember when I started on the rigs it was 16 and hour and that was insane money!

 

[handyandy]

Wow thats better pay than I expected I better start handing out resume's

How about EARN? Not EXPECT.

I expect you will not get hired. I hear the fast food industry has pretty flexible hours. You can expect 10.50 an hour.

Money is the only reason anyone would work in the patch I already work 100 hours a week for most of the year to make $40000 why the hell would I look at taking on extra work if it wasn't for money

Then 10.50 an hour will be a 2.50 an hour raise for ya.

Supersize, with coke please.
