Such an underpaid industry. Been in it 14 years. To much time away from home and as good as you think you got it the money definitely isn’t worth it. Was making $17-$2400 a week and that still isn’t enough to put up with the BS. Loved it at first but the last 5 years doing it I wondered why I wasted so much time away from friends and family it wasn’t worth it. Had to do a complete career reset. Good luck to those still in it. My advice is get out and start a real life. All these other men out here going home to their wife’s every night are the ones really enjoying life.
