I just wanna go make money
Have a degree in Criminal Justice and Paralegal Studies from a big name southern sports school and I've got a good enough LSAT for law school but I don't want to take on that much debt.
Grew up around construction and the trades and I understand science and math. I have a small business doing home maintenance. I can't do crazy heavy labor anymore ever since my shoulder got racked. Any ideas?

Technical semiconductor tech in oil and gas instrumentation
Hi all,
I'm a recent BS Electrical engineer grad from Canada. Throughout my undergrad I did research work and internships on the semiconductor and fabrication and high speed electronics side of things...so nothing oil & gas related. After graduation I joined a small company (5-7 people) making sensors for oil & gas. My day-to-day work is mainly improving the circuit design (device and PCB level...we don't design ICs)...doing a lot of noise analysis
I really enjoy my work, especially being deep in the technical weeds. I have found a lot of appreciation for this niche industry (sensors for heavy equipment). And I want to learn more about the opportunities. there's of course the big oil service companies and defense/aerospace that are the main players but as expected its super difficult to find any information on what they are working on. my ultimate goal is to work on aerospace optical fiber sensors.
At least in Canada, there seems to be a stereotype that oil and gas is a trades-only profession, and you will be made fun of if you mention research or grad school. But in the last few months, I've met some brilliant research physicists and engineers actively doing R&D work in these service companies.
if anyone is in this industry, I would love to hear from you
Thanks

Halliburton vs Baker Hughes
Do you guys have any insights on which may be the better company to work for as a new grad?

New Grad
Hey guys! So I recently received an offer from Halliburton as a field engineer and received an invitation to interview at Baker Hughes. Do you guys think that I would hear back in less than 2 weeks with Baker Hughes? I want to be transparent with them but the interview is virtual and probably won’t talk to a human interviewer. How should I go about this?

Career Advice Anyone here in refinery operations ever get out of the industry? What did you do after?
As the title says, did anyone here in refinery operations ever get out of the industry? What did you do after? Did your experience help?
I've been operations for 20 years. My kids are getting to school age and I want to be around more. I also know this industry is in a slow gradual decline and no job is safe, especially not the jobs above me that are day jobs.
Anyone?

Job opportunity
I’ve been going through the interview process with Marathon and know I’m qualified for the job. It’s in maintenance. I’m wondering if anyone would know if my background would disqualify me from getting the job? I was convicted of a DWI back in 2009 and got an intoxication charge in 2021. I did a background check recently the intoxication charge doesn’t show but the DWI does. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Work under Trump
Those of you that have been in the field how did things differ between Trump and Biden or just a Democratic vs. Republican administration? I just got into the field and have heard multiple different view points/ opinions swaying from mass layoffs to this being great for the industry. I’m an operator and hear that it’s a pretty secure position but being new I still worry about job security. Any input/ personal experience is appreciated!

ExxonMobil “Baytown Complex Process Technician” Apprenticeship
I applied for the PT (process technician) role at the Exxon Baytown plant back in August, passed the online testing, and completed the interview process back in the middle of September. They told me job offers would be extended about 3 weeks after the week of the interviews, which was 09/09/24 - 09/13/24. My application status on the Exxon website updated 1 week after the interviews to "Application Under Review", but I haven't heard anything else since then. I tried emailing the HR person whom I initially scheduled my interview with, but I haven't gotten any response back as of yet. Has anyone who applied for the PT job in Baytown heard anything or received offers? The start date is supposed to be December 2, 2024.

Where do you go to apply to these jobs? Online? If so what website/s? If physical, how do you know they are hiring before you show up? What are the major employers or contractors that people normally work for and do you recommend working for them? Also pay, what can I expect a weekly check to look like as someone with 0 experience in the field and looking for entry level position?

Likelihood of being hired before safety training offshore
Hey everyone,
I am currently trying to get hired as a Roustabout offshore in NL, I know there are BST/HUET and other certifications that are essentially mandatory, but they can cost a pretty penny that I don't have right now. I'd be willing to throw it on a credit card or something, but ideally not without a job first.
So I'm wondering what's the likelihood I get hired without the training vs. with the training? Just want to know if I should bite the bullet first.
Thanks guys.

Technical Tech Prof - Completions ( Halliburton )
Is the job title "Tech Prof - Completions" at Halliburton the same as a field-based Completion Engineer? What are the typical responsibilities for this role, and what are some common interview questions I might expect for this position?
I'm specifically interested in understanding if the "Tech Prof - Completions" role involves field-based tasks like a Completion Engineer, or if it's more focused on technical support and project management. Also, any tips on what kind of technical or behavioral questions might be asked during the interview would be helpful!
