People with necessary skills are in demand right now. If you have some very special skills that are unique to the oil business you should check out the Career sites at any of the major oil companies. They are all hiring.

There are lots of really nice jobs out there if you have the proper skill set, but a lot of companies want to only hire someone who can do the job RIGHT NOW. I can't say that I blame them; it is their money they are paying.

But there are some jobs out there that only require a little training if you are a very smart person to begin with.

The worst part about working for most oil companies is that you either have to live in Houston on in a small town where the production is located. Plus the hours can be bad, as in there are usually lots of them. But, boy oh boy, is it fun!
