Current situation: Dumped bitch, work shit management job to pay for all of the shit bitch obligated me to (33k a year), Went to college to get out of food service, stuck in food service to pay off student loans since nothing else pays dick shit around here. also inbefore"SHOULDHAVEGOTTENANENGINEERINGDEGREE"
Looking for an area with a low cost of living and higher than average incomes and sexier than average hookers and a job market that's decently open.
I have calibration/QC (M&D and ele/thermo) experience, management experience, mechanic experience, Programming experience, Web dev and design experience.
Considering the south for the job market. Everything around here is moving to SC, Alabama, Georgia due to their politics and business incentives.

Dakota's, cheap to live, (getting more expensive by the day though) lots of job's paying $10K/month, but long hours, not many days off and semi shitty work.
-
Alot of shit up here in minneapolis. Hookers are not very hot though so you will need to find a decent woman who will only come over when you need her ( hmmmm, I need one of those again as well).

Top 10 people hiring in North Dakota
Halliburton - www.halliburton.com/careers (http://www.halliburton.com/careers)
Bennett & Associates - Oil field jobs
Baker Hughes
Mercy Medical Center Williston - Healthcare
Weather Ford - Oil field jobs
Chesapeake Energy - Oil jobs
Crassociates - Healthcare
MTS Driver Recruiters
Key Energy Services - Rig services, other
Basin Electric - Linemen and technicians
There are I am sure 100 more places just like those in North Dakota / Colorado anywhere in the Bakken oil field. I have little doubt if you took a weeks vacation to that area, you would likely just send for your stuff.
Easiest way to make sure you get a decent oil field job:
-Current First aid ticket
-Current H2S ticket
-Current ground disturbance ticket (not as important as the first two)
-Current confined spaces ticket (again a secondary ticket)
If you get on as a lease hand pretty much anywhere, and show even remote aptitude within the status quo, you will probably be ruffnecking before winter is out. As long as you can pass a drug test, and are ready to be physically wiped out at the end of everyday, the money is there. Do that until you understand the oil business from the inside, and then become a contractor and charge out at $125/hr+.
None of it is rocket surgery, just requires a strong back, and a bit of planning on what you want out of it.

Really considering this, I have been told by more than one, that they are desperate for mud engineers and are willing to take A.S. Engineering degrees.
If you work out well, they will pay for you to finish a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering. :noel:

With oil over $100/barrel and the whole Tehran thing making sure it will stay there, I believe that is 100% true.
I got a free 8hrs yesterday as line conditions weren't right for testing, and the last thing you do is fuck up a line that is moving close to 600,000 barrels a day at that kind of $/barrel. I get a small window this evening to get my testing done, where the line will have good conditions, but get paid for all day today, plus be on OT this evening. Even as a contractor I am chump change, as long as things stay near the $100/barrel it will be all systems go for everyone.
I make more now in a good 3 days then I did in a whole month (after taxes) at my desk job. I am hoping to work 100 - 150 days this year. Your average job with three weeks vacation you are looking at ~240 days / year.

I need to find out who in that field needs to pressure test components. I would love to find a need to fill in that market.

It is typically manufactures and a few end users if they need to be re-certified. Problem with that is you will have to find both small manufactures and small end users, as the medium and bigger guys will do it all in house. Guys like a Baker Hughes or Halliburton typically have whole departments for that sort of thing. Sometimes you luck out though, and find something that they either won't test in house, or are too busy and too backlogged that they need "right now".

its the gold rush of our time. To bad the men outnumber the women there 100:1 :?:
Your for sure gona catch something if you stick your dick in it there :(

I'm kinda in the same position, I can't find job because everyone want 3yrs+ exp. I'm currently in tx and have aa degree in welding and automotive. I don't even know where to start off at. Just looking for a job pays 15+.

I don't pressure test anything, I design and build the machines people use to test.
I need to be installing my equipment in the Baker Hughes or Haliburton labs like I do for the plastics industry.

Dammit man!
33K Here in MO is an ok living. When you say expensive cost of living, I think of California where 33K seems like it would almost be on the poverty line (depending on location).
-
For the city my shop is located in, you can get a basement suite for $600-1000/mo. Forget buying a house if you are making 35k/yr. A crack house is 300k, not in the hood is 400 and nice is 500 and up. Meals are expensive. Booze is expensive, 6pack starts at $12. Car insurance for old shitty cars like what I drive is about $80-110/mo and health insurance is about $100/mo (no its not free in Canada).
-
My best guy who only works part time makes $35/hr, I'm trying to lure him on full time for $40/hr but so far it is not working:(
-
Hoooooo leeeeeee shit!!!!

That's tempting job but wouldn't want to relocate. I can't find a damn Tig job around that would hire a noob. Where's a good place to start? I'm multi process welder and some pipe too.
Passenger...yal mostly do cnc machining? I been thinking about going back to school to take some classes.
-
Socal's high desert, you could keep flipping burgers at McDonald's and buy a house. The hookers ain't hot, but there are a lot of crack whores who will fuck you for free or $5.
your a fucking idiot.
Nothing but fine women here in San Diego/ Los Angeles area.
I wouldn't even leave my house now for less than $35/hr plus expenses. I charge out alot more than that.
Anything less than $40k/yr is poverty line in Canada. If you can weld you can make decent decisions and buy your own truck, work in the oilfield and make $100-200 hr

I'll be your shop bitch if the pay is right and I get to play with cool machines :mexi:
I worked 12 hours today and left the store perfectly clean. That's like 8 dollars an hour after taxes :-X

I'd have no problem hiring noob anything, as long as you are try and actually get better. I can't stand people who don't try. Too many people around me just want to make 6 figures without trying. To make 6 figures takes work. Sure there are some opportunities in Canada to make big dollars but the living costs are off the hook in those areas and by the time you buy your hookers and blow you are lucky to end up with jack shit.
Yeah we mostly do cnc machining, but I still do about one shift of manual and semi/fully automated tig/plasma welding a week myself, its hard to find GOOD tig welders here.

Mostly we stay pretty clean in my shop, but when shit breaks you gotta get in the machine and fix it. Most days I could wear nice clothes and not get them dirty.

rawr.. WTF exactly you do? 8/hr?!?!?
Pass..I wish your were closer to me.Dont mind working hard and learning at the same time. Im at age where I need to get the ball rolling.
-
There is a lot to learn in my shop, most people don't care for learning though, which is hard for me to understand because I love it and I am always working at learning new stuff. Not that I really expect anyone to be enthusiastic about diagnosing problems with a transfer robot after hours or on a weekend, but it would be nice if they were at least interested in retaining some of the things hey learned during the repair to make the next repair go a little faster.

Why don't you work in bars as barman?
I don't know in US but here it can pay very well if you're good and work in a nice bar. 100-200$ + base salary on weekend and probably 50-100 + base salary in the week.

Huntsville.
Jobs: I've never had a problem finding one. Worst case, there are places that will hire pretty much anyone for $10-12 an hour. I'm making mid-20s/hr and have no degree.
Housing: Cheap apartments, anywhere from $200/mo in the ghetto, to $500-700 someplace decent, and up. Your average 3br 2ba home, $80-120k?
Shit to do: I don't know. I'm an anti-social fuck so I sit at home.

If Dave is nothing else he is fair.
That is the worst thing I heard all day. I worked 12hrs today too, 4 of them were driving (napping as I was co pilot) from the hotel to site, and back, 2 of them were at lunch / coffee. The other 6 I was outside in the middle of nowhere Sask at -14C + windchill (~6F) (no washroom, not even a port a potty) at a pump station, data logging. It was a great day! Mostly because I made more in the first hour then you did all day.
I bring this up not to brag, but as a point. Anyone that has met me from this site will tell you I am average at best. Most people on this site are smarter then me, have more talent then me, and have more employable skills. All I have ever accomplished was graduating high school. This year if it keeps up as is I will work about a week a month, and make well into the 6 figures. Not because I am special, but because I am in the location, location, location where the energy industry is, and they are the big payers. It took me a few years to break into where I am in now, but that has more to do with correcting poor past choices then anything.
I do live on the road when I am working, but 1 week a month isn't that bad. I know lots of guys that do one in and one out, or two in and two out. All making 6 figures.
Yes housing here starts at about 400K, and there are places that gets you a trailer, but the average wage there is nearly 200k a year. It really is all relative.
As an American, getting a green card and a job in Canada would probably be tough, as I know going the other way is a huge pain. But unless you really have a reason to come here for something specific, I would just move to an energy sector in the US (Dakota's, Wyoming, Colorado, Ect...) Get a job with just about whatever, and move around to something that suites you well getting paid.
