Well I'm in Frac and on a 14/7 schedule I made 85k last year as a operator as well and honestly Frac isn't bad at all. Halliburton doesn't pay the best but it is a good company to work for, benefits are awesome and like stated earlier, it looks good on a resume. Frac is cake work

Frac is short for hydro fracturing. Its basically the process of blowing holes through rock, filling them with sand, allowing product to flow into production casing/tubing.
Tools.. Hmm deff NOT CASING. Believe it or not there are machines we place at various depths that do differsnt things, packers, liners, float equipment, dv tools, logging tools. The oilfield is a lot more complex then most even realize.
Help me out here frac if you can add anything.

Starting out In the plants you don't really make ****. Unless you work lots of hours. And also most jobs aren't consistent, specially if your new.
All the cement **** or concrete or whatever it was, is what jarrod used to do. Remember that talk from him? He made it seem like it wasn't all that, and then he moved to solids control? So what's that say?
The guys on the nabors rig all made the Job seem like it wasn't bad.
And all the truckers I talked to while I was there made it seem like they didn't mind their work either. Just got to get a cdl and ****.

Per diem ain't always there though is the thing. Specially if your working in town. I don't know If I ever work in a plant again. Unless I was Making like 30+ or had a really gravy job.
By even then I probably wouldn't have it as easy as I did with team.
I have realized that the money really ain't that good. I know waitress, chicks that cut hair, bartenders, making 200 a day and ****. All cash! Thats like 1000 a week. And not long hours? You can be a cop and make in the mid 20s an hour. And like double that on extra jobs. Hell if your a good salesmen, you can sell cellphones, cars, or furniture. And make more than you or I would at a plant.
