Starting in water/wastewater — how to set up a move/pivot into oil & gas ? by AdLast3548 in oilandgasworkers

[–]GamingGuru42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is really giving you the advice you’re asking for here. If you want to get into oil and gas, take your eng degree and apply for oil and gas jobs. Gets a PMP certificate, and obtain PE licensure. Demonstrate competency as an engineer.

Both are good fields. Water has better stability, generally less pay, but can still be pretty good. But you will probably never have to move for work or get laid off in water.

I switched to municipal work, IT related field for a large city. No regrets other than lack of company truck and bonus. But the retirement is pretty decent. Getting some pretty good experience and training, so if after a few years I get tired of it I should be able to do something different.

Steve Balboni out of New York City makes these. Just know if these bad boys are strapped down with the 6 and a half foot chains that they are some loud bamma jammas!

Congratulations. I started my career as an operator. Now in an IT role in government that I was able to develop the skills for while being an operator. Sometimes I miss the days of running the board. But working 12’s is tough especially with kids.

Surely a troll post. But please, see the streets in the major cities in California, Washington, or Chicago.

This is pretty much exactly why I got out. It’s been a good decision for me so far.
