re: Oil and Gas Question. No experience. Entry level jobs.

Sort of a hijack, but I have a family member that isn't interested in college (has around 30 hrs completed) and is pretty unsure of their life path.
What would be the entry type positions that they would be looking to apply for if I was to suggest something in O&G? Is it basically a roustabout and you then after you get some experience you go from there or would you realistically have the ability to start at some of the trainee level jobs that show up on rigzone?
I'd like to offer some advice but this is pretty far out of my background (Big 4 accounting) so I don't want to give them any misinformation.

I'm not the expert, but from word of mouth I think you pretty much need a degree to get into some of the entry-level training programs at the likes of Halliburton, Schlumberger, etc. Doesn't matter what the degree is in, or really even your grades sometimes.

If he doesn't want to go to college for a four year degree, don't make him. Let him know about PTECH programs at his local community college, construction management at LSU (a degree he may find more fun), or ABC school to become a licensed tradesman.
