Another thing to remember West Texas it is easy to find a job, it impossible to find a place to live. I am sure that the EagleFord areas are just as bad. Be prepared to bring your own living space (travel trailer), some companies are putting up man camps to house employees. As has been mentioned the oil field is work, work, work and then you get some time off maybe. You will make more money then you would in any other business. That was the problem I always had when trying to find work out side of the oil industry. I was always paid way better than other industry. Many companies are having job fairs to find employees.
Non stop busting your ass. That's all you need to know.
I'm a burnt out driver in DFW willing to drive but the pay needs to be right hence looking in the oilfield. I'm not from Texas know nothing about the oil field other than hard hats and fire resistant clothing 24/7 so I'm interested in the work.
