A reader of mine has a job that is akin to the Bakken oil field - hard work, but great pay and something young men can probably do.
Consider pursuing it if you're looking for something different and want to lead a different life. Remember to tell him "The Captain Sent Ya!"

Young men (and women) should look to the oil industry. You can start off as an assistant to an API 570 (visual inspector) at about $15 per hour. Some places send you to class and you can get many certifications and levels. You get to travel, get paid per diem, learn lots. As an actual inspector they can make over $100,000 per year. So much work all over the world. Also, welding is in demand. Average age of a welder is in the 50's. They'll need replacements as they retire. As you get certified you're able to pick and choose your jobs, working a month here, a month there and have lots of time off (depending on what your financial goal is). Just something for young adults to think about.
