    80k is a reality, even if you figure a 60 hour work week witch is on the low side at $24 a hour. 40 a week of regular time 2080 hours a year $49920 then 20 hours a week overtime 1040 hours of over time in a year $37440 = $87360 per year.

    here is a few random pictures iv taken over time in the nd oil feilds

    Are those guys newbies? How much does it cost to live there? Can you live cheap by living in a van?

    You could live in a van but you are not going to do it cheap. Everyone out there will kick you out of there lot of charge you for parking.
