[QUOTE="j-dubb, post: 1561586, member: 3343"] If you can keep from it you don't want to work on a Drilling Rig not as a Rig hand at least, like mentioned before there are alot better/easier jobs in the Oil and Gas Business. Working on a rig as a floor hand/derrick hand is hard hard work, the only tougher job in the Oil business in my opinion is working on a Pulling Unit/Work over rig. How old are you? Education? College? CDL? Skills? Getting on a Wirleline Truck, Fraccing Crew, Acid Truck is easy cake work. Cement crews have easy jobs. There are tons and tons of jobs out there and some pay pretty good, however its the patch so its not a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday weekends off type of deal. Also like someone else said when not if, but when the bottom falls out of oil again there will be ALOT of people without jobs in the industry. If your on the bottom of the pole your the first to go and just because your a higher up doesnt mean your safe. For Pjackso, you cant just "buy" into a well site unless you have some connections. Meaning how many leases or deals do you know about for sale right now? So you have to know someone that works in the Oil Business that owns/operates leases for a living and then they have to be willing to let you in on that deal. If you know nothing about this type of business or if you dont know someone that you can really trust that does know whats going on then your better off investing your money elsewhere. I've seen alot of people invest money into a lease that knew nothing about the oil business and get taken to the cleaners or operated to death. [/QUOTE]
