My old company got purchased by a larger company and I was part of the fat. I am really thinking about changing career fields. Has anybody had any luck changing careers? I live in Houston and really thinking about trying to get in the Oil & Gas Industry. My current
background is financial underwriting (surety bonds). Anybody have any advice? (I am 34 single & veteran)

Have you seen the price of oil lately?

But I hope it works out for you

That sucks, dude. I've never changed careers, but I'm sure it will all work out.

Sorry to hear that bro.

O&G is always a good career path. I would think some of your finance skills could transition into a corp. finance job in one of the big companies.

I have no good advice for you, but Houston should have tons of jobs available. Best of luck.

What is that? Mooching Film Tax Credits, Armed Robbery of Tourists, Or sitting in front of St. Louis Cathedral with a tuba.

Are you service connected? If so you can get a federal job pretty easy.

I know Sean Hannity has a program with lots of companies to hire veterans. Do some googling and it might work out for you. Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Good luck.
