    I agree it is hard to have a lot of sympathy for anyone in a boom bust industry who spends like their high water mark pay is going to go on for the next 20 years. You get paid a lot in those jobs precisely because it's boom bust, so don't live high on the boom and come crying during the bust. I saw the same thing with commercial fishermen when I was a kid in the PNW and Alaska, as well as with the oil guys in Alaska and of course construction guys are the worst.
