Because around here, there isn't much else. I really want to be able to raise my kids here in the next few years. If I limit myself to oilfield, I can always get a job here later on after I get my foot in the door and have more experience. 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.
