I already have a truck (2 of them actually) and very little as far as possessions to get rid of...and as much fun as that sounds like, I think I'll hook up with my uncle as a WORM on the oil rig before I run away with the carnival...
Okay, now how many people will be offended by this one ?.?.?.
funny okiepc,,i was coming back here cause i still have coworkers emailing me for advice and i often refer to this site when asked,,and tonight i decided to take a step down memory lane,,being i havent lost my love for plcs,,and to see okiepc mention a WORM on a oil rig,,well,ive not heard of the term worm,,maybe its a tech one,,i hope its not derrogatory,,
I took a job in the oil industry 6 months ago due to the enormous opportunities out there,,and so far its been good to me,,my first goal was to work with controls on a rig,,but found a side to the industry thats interesting and the money is awesome,,I have a 5 year plan with this path,,
my point is that everyone should take pride in their work,,i dont care if your a dishwasher,,a job is a job,,i hear too much in places ive worked 'well,they only pay me xxx$/hr,,so what do they expect,,,when they should be thinking "i have a job,,so ill fulfill my commitment"
i am going to look into the WORM comment,,maybe its not a term ive come across in the industry,,(still only 6 months in),,but if it is a derrogatory comment,,please let me know why you think so,,I see some hard working roughnecks out there that bust their a$$ to support their families,,and make more money than alot of techs out there,,and have half the month off,,
