Go work up at the Oil Sands up in Canukistan. They pay about 200k/year after taxes, pay all of your expenses (food, room, board, etc). The only drawback is there's absolutely nothing to do up there and most folks get burnt out after a year or end up addicted to drugs or alcohol.

We do have the TFW program... it's easier for a foreign to get a job here than a citizen.

What I hear is that it's expensive as hell living in the "mining towns" because of how much people get paid and how undersupplied they are. Maybe they treat their white collar staff to all expenses paid.

The rest is consistent though...
 
Lol @ 120k working 96 hours a week. That's like making around 45-50 thousand at a 9-5 job but with no free time and physical labor.
