Well clearly you know nothing about the oil industry. Yes there are many guys with just a high school education and a few odd courses making 70-80-90-100k+ a year working in oil. There are many guys with no University degree making a lot more than some PetrE’s also. Some welders and truck drivers are making 200k/year in oil. I’m not sure who told you more education = more money, but that’s certainly not the case.

I didn’t just start University. I’m currently doing an internship and I’ll be heading back to school for my final year in the fall. The 90k was for a 16month internship.
