I'm not actually a logger. I build custom timber frame and log homes. Money is pretty good. But obviously not up there with certain professions unless I want to work in the office running our business.
Logging industry workers who work out in camps actually make a killing now. But a lot of them work like 3 weeks on, 1 week off, where they work 21 days straight, 10-12 hour days. Hourly wage isn't crazy high, but the overtime makes them a killing. Truly shitty lifestyle though. Same deal with the oils sands workers in Alberta. Work in camps, 80 hrs a week. They make a lot of money, even as unskilled labourers can pull $100k plus a year, but the lifestyle is rubbish.
