I don't have any disdain for them but I can see why some people do. When times are really good, many but not all O&G guys are super arrogant.

OP, I've just met too damn many of them who are pricks.

Like, if you get drunk and tell everyone at a bar that you made a whole $82,000 in one year, you're a prick.

.....because the tree hugging democrats have convinced the masses that fossil fuels will destroy the planet. They assail O&G Companies even as they climb on board their private jets to fly back home to their districts.

Let's see...

They went into an industry that they know is constantly up & down.

They flaunt their money when they have it, buy huge obnoxious trucks with stupid stickers on the back windows. Then they buy their skank wives overpriced mid-SUVs and slap a bunch of spoiled oilfield wife stickers on the backs of their windows too.

Then when oil prices are down they cry about it on social media and expect other to feel sorry for them.

A lot of oilfield guys aren't like this, but its the vocal (& visual) minority that give them a bad name.

I think some of them have garnered a reputation for being under-educated people who make more than they're worth.

Not saying I believe that. At least, not entirely.

The majority of the haters are just jealous they wasted all that time and money in college on liberal arts degrees and the oil field baws are making bank. It isn't fair
