If that is on gas well, how stable is the job. Lots of the young fella around here took gas jobs and sooner or later had to travel to North Dakota or Oklahoma or where ever. Glad you have time to be with the kids now good luck......jk

Hardest and scariest decision I've ever made was walking away from a good job of 11 years to finish college and hope to become a wildlife officer. Cashed out my little bit of retirement, paid several house payments ahead, paid truck off, finished college. Hired as a Georgia game warden a couple months later. Was a single parent of two young sons. Worked part time for Ga Dept. of Ag boll weevil eradication program for a few months that got me by.
Thank God for my blessings. And my Mom for helping me with my boys. This was 24 years ago. My sons are 32 and 34 now. Best move I've ever made.
Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything!

It's actually for a gas transmission company that's been in business around here for as long as I can remember.
Good for you. I have many friends who are well tenders. Most seem to like their jobs(except on chart days) but don't make near what they'd make mining coal. It's actually better money than I was making in the mine, believe it or not.
