Lubicon hit the nail on the head. I'm a pipefitter by trade and the wage now is the same that it was when I first got my ticket in 2011. Only now most employers are only offering 10 hour days, no travel and the increasingly hostile environment Lubicon alluded to.

I was recently working on a bunch of small outages where we had a crew of 12 guys. The client had 11 people watching us the entire time. It was absolutely insane the waste of money and the distrust of the contractor. Every year I seem to be more surprised by the lack of knowledge and experience in top positions and the "step over a loonie to pick up a dime" mentality.
