What does these jobs involve?

There was an article a few days ago about one of the oil companies now averaging 200k for field workers, I think in Texas. I’d expect the work to be physically demanding and in tough conditions [excludes me and most other FReepers, LOL], and include overtime, but younger dudes I’m sure can handle it.
Here is an article regarding barbers making 180k in ND. Lots of money there, but as always, if you want good money, you need to be flexible regarding where to live.
