Oh yeah! I worked in the oilfields here in Wyoming last year and returned to college to get my degree. When I graduate I am going to the coal mines. According to link I posted the average wage is $64,000 with $18,000 in benifits. Remember this is average so there are quite a few either lower or HIGHER. These jobs are relatively same because they are strip mines. You don't have to go into an actual mine. Check the Gillette area if you want a job. You should be able to find the Wyoming Employment Center's Gillette office online.
