Looking into getting a job in the oil industry any advice from people in this field would be great.
I’m 27 years old and have worked in construction most of my life. I actually own a construction business in my home state that’s doing well, but to be honest I’m not very happy doing it anymore and I’m looking for a change.
I’ve been seriously thinking about moving to Texas and trying to get into the oil field. I’m used to long hours, physical work, and tough job sites from construction, so that type of work doesn’t bother me at all.
For someone coming in with a strong construction background but no oilfield experience, what positions should I realistically be applying for?
Looking for positions with growth. Heard starting pay is anywhere from 80k to 120k
