Man who the fuck says it’s easy money? It’s a lot of money because it’s hard and hazard pay. Even my dumb ass knows that.

Ya bro I don’t think anyone says that it’s easy money😭

I would think if you’re a single person with no real attachments to life at the moment it would be a good position for a little bit just to get some money but otherwise I don’t really see how it would be worth it

Its a trade-off.

If you like money, yes. But youll have to save it because a downturn means youre unemployed.

You'll go crazy stretches away from your family or anything normal, but a week or two off at a time is nice.

Source: ive done it all, all over the world.

15 hours for 30 days is 450 hours.

$16,000/450hours= $35.55/hour

That’s no minimum wage, but that’s not good pay considering the work IMO.

Haha the military doesn't give a dhit about those things either.. and i don't make 16k a month lol

Look at his eyes lmao

Guessing these types of jobs expose you to a lot of carcinogens as well.

Anyone curious about what this kind of work is like should read the graphic novel Ducks. One of the best books I’ve ever read
