Much of the "oil states" are like that.

(1) In other words, you don't actually know anything about these biz,so you're hoping that what you picked up watching "The Office" is reasonably close. It isn't.
(2) Not really. How many lawyers do you think an oil drilling company needs? They need more CPAs than lawyers, but a decent "roughneck" costs more and a decent foreman is gold, and gets it. The lawyers? Not so much.
It's hard and dangerous work, but it's very good money.
You folks really ought to look at what decent tradesmen get.
