I count my lucky stars that I'm fortunate enough to not have to make such a choice. But you're suggesting this person move away from their friends and family (not to mention taking a spouse and kids) to an inhospitable place to work on an oil rig? You know, to do a (famously) astronomically taxing job (when you'd most need that love, comradery, and support)...alone? I've got those city-slicker wanderlust glasses on, and could, for a time, probably enjoy working on an oil rig. But alone? I'd honestly rather live in my parent's/friend's basement and be a walmart greeter.
