Ok pay Great Training This job is ideal for people who have no kids and don't plan to for the next 7 years. Single and not in a relationship. Loves to work nearly 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Cons

Managers are military like They do not like different ideas from their own plan to work 18-22 hours a day on an oil rig for 2-3 weeks straight without going home your personal life is shot to hell if you have children don't plan on having any quality time with them for the first 7 years
