What this mean ? Scuse me but i’m not an expert in english but in french, Piss is the action of urinate :lol:

And thank you for the info ! And now what I realy want to know, is in wich city I have to go to make the more money ? Is this Fort McMurray. I don’T care if I have nowere to live, I will buy someting like a GMC Savana and put a bed in the back of the truck and install me a mini DVD player 8) That will be my home ![/quote]

:lol: Sorry! English or French, when you drink beer, lot’s of beer, you piss. Lot’s.

Most of the guys making this kind of money spend a significant portion of it on partying and ‘toys’. Many are living paycheck to paycheck.

The hourly pay for working rigs is the same no matter where you work. The drilling work near Ft. McMurray is mostly pad work where many wells are drilled one after another. This is very steady compared to drilling a few wells here and few wells there.

Most of the rig jobs in McMurray, or any remote location, include accomodation in a camp. The opportunity to save a lot of money is there as you have no living expenses!

Good luck,

Dan

Wrong. Talk to somebody with the lifestyle you want, then ask if they will show how they did it.
