Looking for a career change
Looking for a career change Hey guys, I am thinking about a career change. I am 18 years old and currently an assistant manager at a restaurant which I have been working for since I was 15. My current pay is $14.00 an hour and will be willing to loose an couple bucks for the right job. I am wanting to work for a company that has benefits and opportunity's. I have a clean background and management experience. I am currently going to college. If you guys know off any openings in DFW area please let me know and ill throw a little something your way.
Thanks, David

Don't grow up to fast, Work will always be there.. Being young won't..
Also $14hr is really good for your age.
Rigging is a very hard job, never done it but have plenty of customers in it. They love u one day and the next your hitting the road.
Best of luck with your search.

Sup man! At the shop I work at (I believe I told you) we had an ex-employee show up a couple of days ago to say hi to everybody and what not. He told me he now works in the oilfield and makes GREAT money. I believe they start you off at 12 an hour, and you work like 60-70 hours a week, which is pretty awesome overtime (so 20 or 30 of those hours are 18 an hour).
I asked him if a lot of his co workers did Meth or coke since it's common knowledge a lot of oil workers do, but he said none of his do, that's mostly for guys on the rigs and what not.
SO! My point is, if you want to find THE BEST Meth in Texas, get your *** on a rig ASAP.

Sure OT is good in the oil/gas field, but look at the amount of hours you have to work to make good money. Life is too short to spend it all at work IMO.
I understand about wanting out of the restaurant industry. I worked at several when putting myself through school. I agree that you're better off staying in school. You may leave for a year, but thats also a year longer until you're in you're desired field.

The main people who do drugs in the oil field are some casing crews. True with NO experiance the pay sux. But if you apply yourself the oay off is huge. Most people sit at home doing nothing. Why not make money doing that. I love what I do. But I tell my worms to educate themselves to be someone more than just a hand. They may hate me at the end of a haul. But they love the paydays i bring them.
Yea I understand what you guys are saying. I haven't had a break from school as soon as i graduated high school, I enrolled college the next semester.... I'm thinking off taking a break from school and work and try something new like oil fields and such. It would be nice to be able to do some manual work and try something new and I also hear it has good benefits and pay, which may want me to change my major into a field as such.

i went with the job and couldnt imagine doing anything else. im a union truck driver for a construction company. making great money for what i do with awesome benefits.
im not sayin to quit school, thats a decision only you can make. but i think its best to do what you really feel is best for you
I like school, but want a change. If I can find a great career that doesn't require a degree and has great opportunities, I will rethink about going to school... I am just curious of whats out there for me.

Been where you are. If you quit school and find any sort of decent job, you won't go back.
"Yea, but really been thinking about working at a plant or rig. I am wanting to take a little break from school. I am going for my bachelors of science in nursing."
You will so completely regret this in 5-10 years, I absolutely promise you. Promise promise promise...

Hell once you are a senior you can start working in a hospital as a senior nurse tech or get your CNA license after your first semester and fundamentals.
DO NOT. DO NOT. DO NOT. Go into a refinery/rigging. You will like the money and never go back to school.
i just finished my degree in political science--believe me when i say that school is just one of those things you have to grind out. i never wanted to go in the first place, but i quickly realized that many jobs out there require a 4 year degree minimum to be taken seriously.
also, if you decide to take a break, depending on the length of your break you will likely be billed for your loans, dropped from your parents' insurance, and after 2 years i believe your credits will no longer be valid and you'll have to retake them.
you also need to consider workplace injury, which is fairly common in this line of work. ive met several rough necks who have had fingers cut off, limbs broken, etc.. chances are they weren't paying attention when the accidents happened, but this kind of thing could happen to anybody. what would you do if something happened to you and you could not work for a while?

I'd stay in school. Your making great money.
Oil field is good money but it's long hours and harder work then your doing now. Also oil work comes and goes, if your first in your first out... Stay where you have some seiority, finish school, then go break away if you want, at least then you will have something to fall back onto....
