Gas Price Rant

quote: and the ***worst*** part is the guys workin in the canadian oil fields are probably natives and getting paid crap wages so some slick fellas can drive around in beemers drinkin champagne


Sorry Wrong, I worked in the Canadian oil/gas fields as a tradesman for 35 yrs and my wages over the first 25 yrs approached 6 figures and for the last 10 of those years was over 6 figures. The guys, engineers, working behind the desks and driving the beemers, averaged between 50K to 70K. The engineers were always pissed off at us and very few "natives" work in the oilfields when you look at the entire oil worker population. The reasons why I wont get into but coming to work everyday ie. commitment has a lot to do with it.
