I never thought I would enjoy Oil and Gas when I got my first job in the industry making $16/hour in records but since moving into the project side of the industry I do really enjoy what I do and have jumped in salary to the 100k mark. The thing I find in this industry is you do need to make contacts and know the right people to move up but you also need to maintain a good reputation. Your reputation is everything and people come accross each other all the time or call the good people they know when a new project is starting up. I did get my first opportunity at an oil producer because I knew the supervisor really well but I had to impress the manager in the interview to get the job.
