The pipeline thing is serious. My brother does seismograph work for an oil company, so he basically X-Rays the welds on the new pipe tey're putting down to make sure it's quality. You can go into it with no experience as a helper, where you just help out with carrying the equipment and running the camera (easy stuff) and you make around $15/hr plus $100 a day per-diem. I almost did it this summer to save cash for college. you just have to be willing to do a bit of traveling.
