Transocean is a good company to be with and they are hiring at the moment. You will go in as a roustabout but depending on your work ethic and how quickly you pick up the job you can move up fast. I have seen people move up in as little as two hitches. Most rigs are starting to go to the 21/7 rotation due to the fuel costs on the birds though. Since is sounds like you are looking for a career change I would suggest safety.

For oil field services. Cement and Coil Tubing is where money is at. Ballic say hey to Boone Morris(management). I personally like halliburton and their equipment. I do tools also. Coil does EVERYTHING down hole. I make about 4500 take home every two weeks(after taxes). But I've been doing this a while. Either way you go. Become more than just a hand! I cant stand it to see a worker wasting my time sitting around all day. Its great to see a hand go find something to do. And not ask what there is to do.

Yea like baalic stated, us in the Frac side are putting 120 hours a week 80 of those sitting on our asses and sleeping. Lol it's really simple on our side, we come to our pad, rig up our pumps, blenders, bla bla and we pump sand and gel downhole causing the perforations to expand and help enhance the production of the flow for the gasses they are banking off of. But yea the oil field is pretty complex, the only thing most people can't hack are the hours away from the fam, but hey your with 30 other guys more than you are with your own kids and wife. These guys are your fam. I love my job but I wouldn't mind having a be home everynight job. Baalic what area you from? I'm in the south Texas area out of the Alice yard.
Im out of the Pampa yard here in the Panhandle.

Noob here. I've never worked for the oil/gas field, but I'm looking to get into it. I've been working on cars since '07 and been strictly high end European the past 4 years, but I'm looking to change careers. Can anyone help me out as far as getting into the business. I'm not sure what I want to do, but at this point, I don't really care what it is.

I work for XTO Energy. We are owned by Exxon now, so the pay is awesome. They have many varieties of jobs. Examples are plant operators, compressor mechanics, lease operators (pumper), and field and pipeline operators. The website is www.xtoenergy.com. You can apply for jobs through the website.
Exxonmobil.com has other job postings as well, including offshore. They work 28 on, 28 off on the offshore rigs.
Good luck!
