Commissioning and Troubleshooting Field Engineering for a large pump company- yeah, mostly anyplace there’s oil, gas, water and power processing. I’ve only got a couple states I haven’t been to and only a couple continents left - travel is overrated unless it’s VietJet :-)
As a young guy learning the trade the travel was good - and fun. Doing environmental and engineering stuff, started off with a small company but worked from Vermont to Florida, Texas to Iowa, and most places in between.
Then went with a larger company (and larger jobs) which meant weeks and months out of town and overseas. It suck when my son was young. “Oh - so he walked today! That’s great!” I was never around.
Got laid off, and the day it happened I knew that was the best thing that could happen! Started off on my own and was able to be around most of the time. (Well, early on it was because I barely had any work! But with a new baby girl that was a good thing.)
Now I still get the occasional trip overseas, and a few weeks out-of-state at a time, but not the constant field work like before.
But for a young person gaining knowledge and getting to see places, it is pretty good.
