Maybe a similar thread has been posted before but here goes. A person has to cut a living out for themselves somehow. What do you do to pay the bills? I'm a 2nd year (soon to be a 3rd year) heavy equipment tech. I love my job and the crew I work with:beer::)

And yet somehow it was okay to send a fixed wing out to Yellowknife last night for a 26 weeker?!?!? Glad I wasn't on that flight...
