Re: Young Adults Heading for the Prosperity of the Oil Fields Instead of Liberal Acad
Yes. I shuld have added that the $150K-plus is for someone with extensive experience, probably a mid-career engineer.
That is not starting wage by a long shot. To get that $$, you need to have some experience in an area that someone can make money from. Trades can actually make far more money (due to O/T) than a newly minted engineer (mostly because coming out of academia, they are far more of a liability than asset). Prove yourself to the industry, though, and $10k a month is easy, far more if you will work on remote sites/projects.
