However, I will say that it takes a certain kind of person to do it and to be successful at it. It's not for everyone. Those who can do it reap the rewards as well we should for supplying a valuable commodity. I will never argue with the surgeon who has the knowledge and skill to save a love ones life over what they should or shouldn't charge for thier service. I certainly can't do what they can and I respect the skill and training their job requires. Along with that comes the salary that is commensurate with the work. Why should one be different from the other?

There is a price point in the market where the oil industry and support services can be compensated for their work and the consumer can enjoy savings/reasonably priced gasoline at the pump.
It's very volatile industry and the market dictates what that price is. Should a barrel of oil be $90+....probably not, consequently it also shouldn't be $30 a barrel. Companies position themselves to survive in all scenarios. Employees should do the same.
