"What is your degree in? I work in the business side of the O&G Industry."
My degree is in Liberal Arts, Community Development. What would be the best way to get in the business side of things with no MBA, finance/accounting, economics, marketing degree?

Go work for a contractor in billing (field billing if you can). Even if you have to break in in timekeeping, you'll move up quick if you are good. Timekeeping to cost control to project billing. You'll be dealing with several companies in the O&G field. Network, network, network. Talk to everyone, never complain, never talk bad about your company. Eventually you'll move up within your company or one of the plants will want to hire you.

Maybe you can work in scheduling. It seems like these folks are always in demand. Maybe take an online course in Microsoft projects or primavera and start applying. As soon as you're eligible get your pmp certification. You will definitely start at the bottom, but you can probably move up pretty quickly.
