[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1640858, member: 6291"] I had guys that I worked with from Tennessee and places and they made comments about how low the pay scale was and if you didnt work in one of the few factories or what ever there wasnt much to do. They said there wasnt much of a "middle class". They made comments jokingly about living like God's there with their WTX oilfield pay. $15 an hour to drive tractors. Mowing gets $50. Any kind of pressure washing, tree trimming, flour beds, etc depending on how much equipment can get $30-50. It's not hard to break 100K in old field related stuff. Plumbere, electricians, water well people stay hooked up here. You have quite a few different plant operations in Texas. That's not counting going to Houston, SA, Dallas etc and doing blue or white collar work. They both fetch quite a few green backs. I left my 6 figure gauging company at 26 to go to work for an o&g company. I took a slight pay cut initially but was back up in a year and did pretty darn good up until last December. Then I took a big pay cut basically starting over again. I have no doubt I'll have the monthly revenue to go 6 figures again, if I choose to work that hard, by the end of the year. It was slow out the gate but I'm covered up now and I'm starting to sift thru the better paying work. Good work ethic, hustle, smile, yes sir yes mam, I guess the right area... and you have to sell yourself. You cant sit around waiting for raises and opportunities. You have to be pitching and asking and putting yourself put there. My motto is it never hurts to ask... all they can say is no. [/QUOTE]
