I have many friends in the oil field that started as "floor hands" and brought home 3200 a month after taxes. This is with a high school education. The negative of this job is that you will work either 14-14, 7-7, or 28-28. Which means 14 days on 14 days off. On your 14 days on you work 12 hours straight and then a 12 hour break this is continuous for the 14 day span. Also it is extremely hard work that is also very dangerous. You can move up though and I know people that are referred to as driller that make 90k now.
