I just wanted to say a little something on the subject. The only work I can find around here is oil field jobs. The one I've got now and have had for the last 3 and a half years is well testing. I camp out on oil field locations 24/7 for days, weeks, or months at a time, just so I can tell some guy sitting in a mansion somewhere how much oil and gas he's getting out of this thing. When I finally get off, I'm on 24 hour call. Sometimes I won't get a day off for as long as 6 months strait. The only way I see my wife and child is to have them come out to the location where I'm working. I'm only saying this because during these hard times, sometimes you have to do what you have to do to take care of the ones you care about most. Being a hard working american is an honorable thing to be, don't let it get you down.
