re: Getting a job on an oil rig

So, you know all these hands that were let go? Personally? There only one person in the world that matters: the individual. There are jobs out there for individuals to get. No, no one is hiring 1000 guys. But there's jobs out there that guys that were laid off can get. If you can build scaffolds, I'll hire you right now. There are other positions available everywhere. It's one's and two's, not 10's and 20's or hundreds. But to say the jobs aren't out there is bs. You may have to travel and take a slight pay cut, but jobs are there.
