I have worked in plants. A regular week only put me at 1600 1700 for two weeks. Yeah I had checks that were double that when I would be working a lot of days. And sure if I traveled I made more. I use to get .55 cent a mile. Perdiem. And they paid for my hotel. but that **** ain't always there. And you get burned out on it. And it really isn't all that much money. 60k a year? That ain't ****! For having to deal with all the refinery bullshit.
Seemed decent at the time, but here recently after looking around. You can make decent money doing less. At a place that you don't have to wear Frc, hard hats, safety glasses all day.

When i work full 60hr weeks i bring home around 1700 or so. I forgot how much they pay a mile for out of town but from houston to marrero louisiana i got 330$ travel pay so that aint bad. I liked my old company cause they aid double time on sundays but there was no perdiem in town :/ .. i made 45k last yr n only worked like 7 or 8 months out the yr so im cool with that. Im barely 21 so **** it thats way more then ppl my age usualy make.

Yea like baalic stated, us in the Frac side are putting 120 hours a week 80 of those sitting on our asses and sleeping. Lol it's really simple on our side, we come to our pad, rig up our pumps, blenders, bla bla and we pump sand and gel downhole causing the perforations to expand and help enhance the production of the flow for the gasses they are banking off of. But yea the oil field is pretty complex, the only thing most people can't hack are the hours away from the fam, but hey your with 30 other guys more than you are with your own kids and wife. These guys are your fam. I love my job but I wouldn't mind having a be home everynight job. Baalic what area you from? I'm in the south Texas area out of the Alice yard.

You didn't have to pay? Or you just didn't file? Lol big difference.
Find someone to do your taxes. Tell them your a mechanic on the side. Claim your vehicle and around 25k miles. Keep track of any safety bullshit you buy and claim that too. You can cut your taxable income way down. And get back alot. I used to get back 6k or 5k doing that. When most people who do it legit get back like 1100.
