I have a fairly decent work schedule in my line of work but with all the paycuts it's starting to get pretty rough. My normal work schedule is 2 weeks on and 1 week off, but work has been pretty slow since the industry is doing poorly, so I'll usually work 5-8 weeks straight. I usually take home about $2000-2400 on a bad 2 week check, and about 3200-4000 when we have plenty of work. We get free housing (apartments) which helps us save some money, but when we're out in the field like I am right now we're typically working 14-18hrs a day. Back when things were good I could bring home $4000 every two weeks pretty easily with free housing and $46 a day for per diem.
