[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think working in a coal mine actually pays well. Just like oil rigging. Blue collar but good pay and benefits.[/quote] Not really. A coal miner in Kentucky gets paid about $75K. In west virginia the salaries range from about $65 for a newer one to about 85 for an experienced one. In return for that they face a great risk of injury or death, and the very real chance of a lifetime of health issues such as black lung. There is no guarantee that the health care they are promised will still be there by the time they retire. So there really are two types of people who take the job: those who have little concern for the downside, and those who just don't know any other way of life.[/quote]
