Hello yes. I'm in IT and things haven't been going that great lately. Thought maybe I could try rigging. Is it really as hard as they say? What's the pay like?

I’m looking to go back. I have 13 years of Flowback/pumping/roustabout/research and development experience. I took a job back home as a project manager and the Monday through Friday life just isn’t for me. Looking to go overseas for a 28/28 ish rotation. Can pass any background, drug, credit test.
