Dude, why are you limiting yourself to oilfield work? Right now aviation is taking off like a rocket. I work for Bell Helicopter and we're hiring college graduates like crazy that have unrelated degrees to aviation. I was laid off from oil patch work during one of the two month downturns and got a job a Bell that has opened the doors for my future, doors that were closed before because oil field work is like blacksmithing is to rocket science.

This is where the last 4 generations of my family have lived and some people may call me crazy, but this is where I want my kids to grow up. I can always get a job at Spirit Aerosystems as my mom is HR there. They make good money, but go on strike constantly.

Kinda find that hard to believe, some of the technology that we work with in the subsea side is pretty much space age.

That it is. We're right at the end of the 7 year cycle in the Aviation industry. Now's the time when everyone moves up a peg and all kinds of positions open up. I'm busting my ass trying to finish my CPL and get in on it.

The oilfield is awesome though. You don't have to know anybody, you don't have to have a degree, from what I have seen in my years you don't even have to be smart. You just have to be there.

That all depends on where you are and how high you want to go. Your not gonna be making 100k+ and be a moron, Also as far as offshore goes it takes some doing to get out here it always helps to know someone.

No, I'm serious. I know guys that make as much as I do and can't remember anything and have no common sense at all. Just depends on who you work for I guess. Most of my family works offshore and international. I have thought about it but I like being on land and withing driving distance at home. My company has sent me to a few other countries but it doesn't last long.

I guess some can slip through the cracks. But dont think they are going to make Driller, Toolpusher, OIM, Company man, ROV pilot, Mud engineer. I mean ya i guess that in entry level stuff you could get away with being stupid but, not if they move you up.
