Thack,
Do you know what kind of jobs are the “entry level” jobs?
What kind of work does a novice do to start out with
in order to work their way up into those higher paying slots?
Thanks.
Are you asking about a young worker with a strong back and little experience in any job market?
Or a more experienced worker outside of the oil/gas industry? If so, what existing skill sets and do they have time/money for a bit of training before pursuing work?
My 2 Cents.
Welders and truck drivers are needed in ND & TX right now where they are fracking for oil. You might look into getting training in either of these areas.
Fracking requires lots of water. Water is deliverd to the drilling sites tanker trucks.
FYI, there is a shortage of class 1 truck drivers in the country.

The top-side position is called a “tender” who is a member of the “crew” that does the “grunt work” that supports whatever diving operation is going on. Probably $15.00 to $18.00 per hour.
My Son was a “tender” for a number of years and is now a “diver”. Being a “saturation diver” can put you in the 6-figure salary range. http://www.divinglore.com/Saturation%20Diving.html
