You get paid big because of crappy conditions and a HUGE risk of death. That's how they get people, make the money really pay well. You also get bored up there so people gamble eachother for paychecks to keep busy, and it's loud obviously. I was told if i get to an oil rig try going for one out at sea because i wont have to pay high rent prices (alberta for example), living on the rig is free. Also the guys on the rig try breaking you, so you can't be mentally weak. They try breaking you down to see if you're made for this kind of job, not because they don't like you. You are all relying on eachother for safety and stay alive, if you're an idiot you will get yourself killed or other people. Atleast asking around this is what i have been told. I'm not mentally strong but i like the money and will have to suck it up.
