[QUOTE="Taylorman55, post: 111245, member: 1290"] I can tell you this. I will never go back to a 2 week on 1 week off schedule, or a Monday-Friday gig. I would average well over 100-105 hours a week, every week throughout the year while doing the oil thing. Yes, paychecks were absolutely insane and paid lots of crap off. A guy would think that a week off is enough, but when you are away from home for those 2 weeks, it takes a full week, or more, to get caught up on all the shit that wasn't done for the 2 weeks while a guy is working. There are lots of coal/gas plant jobs out there that are 4 days on, 4 days off, or 3 on, 4 off, 4 on, 3 off… and those are the jobs Im shooting for sometime in the future. Im still consulting in the oil field on and off, and while it pays the bills more than enough, I'd rather be home everyday, at least sometime and can still get some stuff done. I want to get more fishing and hunting in too, and my previous schedule just wouldn't allow it. Going back to school at 30 years old wasn't ideal, but I do believe it'll pay off in the end. [/QUOTE]
