Working with banks and Credit unions in my past job, our clients in Texas would tell us how when times are good in the oil market (2-3 years ago), those roughnecks would blow money left and right on brand knew F250 King Ranch yada yada trucks and liquor. As soon as the market drops, their parking lots would be filled with those trucks after they were repo'd. I imagine they are starting to collect a few right now.

Though, to the point of the original post, I not quite sure why the significance of being overly proud of having a husband that works in the oil field. Not that it's not a good job and all, but why would it be different if her husband was an accountant or a manager at Kroger just as very general examples of normal jobs. I guess I'm not sure what makes working in the oil field so significant as to put a big sticker on a truck or on a t-shirt advertising that. I guess I'll have to get shirts made that say "Proud husband of a drug rep" and she'll get "My man is a procurement manager". Doesn't have quite the same ring as "Pipeline Trash", but I guess I'm not as imaginative with superlatives.

I think you guys are over thinking it which is exactly the problem... you are thinking. Not to sound pretentious but I believe education might be a factor. You don't have a "Procurement Trash" stick for the same reason that you contribute to your 401k instead of making payments on a F250 King Ranch and the new fishing boat behind it. Not that there is anything wrong with having these things if they are within your means.

I saw a HOE LIFE sticker on a back window in Southaven the other day. Big bold letters it cover the whole window. That has to make Mom proud.
