From a little to a lot

A man by the name of Johnathan Roberts was making $5 an hour. Now this lucky man is making about a half million dollars a year. The real reason he is making all this money is because of a "global boom in offshore drilling." John is one of the few lucky people, and he is definitely living it up. An oil rig is not a fun place to live/work. You have to live on the oil rig for months in the middle of the sea, does that sound fun to you? Sure doesn't sound fun to me. You have to have special skills, and not a lot of people have those skills. I wish to have this nice pay day in my future.
