If you really want to do whatever it takes open your search up to the onshore shale plays. The Bakken, Permian Basin, Eagle Ford and Marcellus should all have plenty of opportunities amongst others.

They have a particularly hard time getting people in the Bakken (western ND). I've spent some time up there and the weather blows but you will get invaluable experience and make a ton of $ in the process. Make sure they are providing housing as part of your employmen as well.

I know some companies generally prefer getting inexperienced, educated people in their workforce (like yourself) that they can mold and train rather than hiring old field hands who have developed bad and unsafe habits.

Get on Rigzone and apply, apply, apply

Thanks for the response. I am interested in the shale plays as well, particularly Haynesville, Fayettteville, and Eagle Ford. Why did you leave the Bakken Shale in ND? Which companies prefer getting inexperienced educated people?
