I know a guy who works trucking the chemicals for the oil fracking. He makes a lot of money, and when on the job all expenses are paid. Once his rotation is over, he hops on a plane to Thailand. He owns a house there that he paid comparatively nothing for, has a housekeeper that he pays a good wage to for the area - but really a pittance here - and he chills out drinking on the beach until his next rotation comes up.

This used to be very common with offshore oil drilling too. You work 21 days straight on an oil platform and then get 14 days off. Company paid all expenses while on the platform and also paid air travel to/from your home base to the town nearest to the offshore oil platform and from where company will ferry you to/from oil platform on a chopper.
