I also worked in the OILFIELD from a very young age starting on an inland barge rig for $1.40 an hour. Hah ! my wife saved $ 2500.00 in the first year and 6 mo's.... I Graduated top of the class and went offshore. Hah 45 years later.....stilllll, washing my hands with Go-Jo at the end of my day, and i would not trade my experiences around the globe for all the boudin in ACADIANA. Today my advice to young men is this, if you want a cushy-ass uneventful life, get you a job at Piggly Wiggly, spinning the overripe tomatoes, ripeside down, or if you are looking to get filty rich get a job in Government, if you want to get so filty rich, where not even Go-Jo will cleanse your palms..... There are Teachers and there are DO'ers, "Teachers teach, speak the English language well enjoying a $ 10.00 vocabulary." "DO'ers, turn the gears which make the world go around and around, thats the way it is, some make the world go round and round, and most just standby, and watch like onlookers at a parade ".......You get it, HUH ? - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Thu, 10 Jun 2010 20:42:41 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/6362-re-common-usage#comment-8159 I worked on drilling rigs to pay my way through college. None of my friends went to college, they all still work in the oilfield, and they all make more money than me to this day. As I've said in another post, this whole calamity was caused by a few arrogant company men and drilling managers at BP in Houston. They are small minded, and they purposely ignored long-standing industry best practice because they wanted to hurry up and finish a job that had run way over. To use their incompetence as an excuse to shut down drilling, or ration fuel, or carbon credits, or to create a climate exchange, or a "green economy", is tyrrany. Free men don't act this way, and will not tolerate it. Now, let's quit whining and get to work. - ragin_cajun Wed, 09 Jun 2010 09:11:53 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/6362-re-common-usage#comment-8158 Umm...Walter, you might want to consider that in our oil field employed economy here in Acadiana, quite a few of those "driver only" trucks are needed for that person to also haul supplies or drive out to drill sites. Maybe they drive that truck so they can pull a boat to Grand Isle or Henderson Lake on the weekend. You know, part of our culture? Sportsman's paradise. As for "making a deal with the devil", at least Louisiana and its hard working people are willing to do that dirty work for the rest of the country. None of the NIMBY states are stepping up to help produce domestic petroleum. Would you rather we import it all, giving even more money to terrorist sympathizers in the Middle East? And this "devil" some of you want to call the oil & gas industry, has provided wonderful career opportunities for Louisiana's residents. We've weathered the national recession much better because of this resource. Where else could such a large group of your young population, who for one reason or another may not be able to attend college, are able to go to work right out of high school and if need be, support a family very well? Sure it's been a give and take relationship. But here's some more information. The biggest threat to our coast, seafood and way of life in South LA is NOT the oil & gas industry. Rather, it's the huge Dead Zone in the Gulf, brought upon us by farm chemicals being "run off" into the Mississippi by the states directly to our North. Those chemicals flowing out the Miss R are causing more damage than centuries of exploration could cause. - RCajun Runner Wed, 09 Jun 2010 08:43:23 +0100
