I would tell you to go to mi SWACO and apply for solids control or well testing before mud school
Right all the new mud engineers are early 20s and they work them hard same with mwd
In our company they are recruiting foreigners and putting them in mwd. They are engineers, some with masters and mostly Indian or Russians. Tough to compete with that
If you want to be in the business and make a lot of money look hard at well testing. SLB, cetco, fessco, expro, select, stric LAN etc are all always hiring for well testing. Starting is about 36k with $175 day bonus. We have well testers making $100k with high school diplomas. Hard work rigging up or down but they have a lot of arse time. Same with solids control
Much easier to move up in well testing or solids control. The eagle ford, Marcellus and Bakkan are taking anyone they can get through drug test, drive smart and basic testing school.

Also I would tell anyone to apply at every pipeline company. NOT construction but operations. Kinder Morgan, enbridge, Williams, energy transfer, etc are great companies to work for. They don't pay as well but they take care of their people

I hate posts like that because you make it seem like it's really easy. It's not that easy, at least not right now.
