Nothing about wire-line really excites me besides the fact they they travel a ton and work a decent schedule.
Every Wireline hand I know works worse hours than I do as a MWD. They are typically up for 72+ hours going rig to rig and then get maybe 1-2 days back in town where they have to prep for their next job.

Big red works them 15-6, the fishing division is a lil different I think.

This is entirely not true. I've been doing it for 6+ years, on land in a high volume district and offshore. I work 20/10 with 21 days of vacation. When I'm not offshore, I go to the shop during the week. When I am offshore, companies mandate that you get a certain amount of sleep. We send 2 crews that split the workload. Average time spent offshore is 5 days. And we usually only go offshore once in that 20 day hitch.
Sure, there have been times when I am up for 48+ hours, but that is an exception rather than the rule.
And the money that I make is considerably more than what the majority of FEs make in other segments and locations.
