It's been awhile since I've been here, but in the past I've found this place to be a great source of information on far more than just beer.
I retired from the military in May of this year and relocated to North Idaho. Great place to live, but a difficult place to find a job with decent compensation. I did find employment, but am ready for more challenges and better pay.
I am considering the oil industry. Specifically the type of job that works a rotating schedule (2weeks on/off for example) where I can stay home based here. I have an electronics background and am mechanically inclined but am willing to learn anything. It's not difficult to find oil field job listings but what I am really looking for is hearing from the people who work there about who I should contact and what companies are the right ones to work for.
Location of the job isn't a priority as long as I can as I said spend my off time here. North Dakota is appealing due to distance but I understand the housing situation is a PITA. The Gulf Coast and Alaska would also work.
Thanks for any assistance you may have.
