Where is the salary list for Saudi ARAMCO employees? THEY probably make the most.

My husband's first paycheck in 1980 from ARAMCO was $5,000.00/month. He was a mechanical engineer who made $800.00/month here at the time, after taxes.
*****Being an ARAMCO employee ALSO meant paying NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX. Wowsa.

Working overseas dangerous, lucrative for oil and gas employees

High salary's go hand in hand with danger and unpleasant job conditions.

If the conditions were easy and your biggest danger is a paper cut the salary is generally much lower.
