Worked one summer on a work-over rig. Basically went around to oil wells and changed out pumps, which required pulling thousands of feet of rods to get to the pump. Sometimes we would have to pull tubing also, if there was a leak. Working the floor completely sucked, as you would basically be covered with crude all day long. Worked from sun-up to sun-down. Although the work sucked, I made good money for a college kid, got in really good shape, and I suppose it did build some character.
