his has been what I have always leaned toward wanting to do.

Guess I will keep my list the same, I made fluids the third bc I know they get picked up and they work the best schedules. Nothing about wire-line really excites me besides the fact they they travel a ton and work a decent schedule.



Well if that's your goal take a good look at being an M/LWD with big blue. Typically 2-4 years as a MWD (depending on location, US Land work will get you quicker) to become a DD. If they know you want to be a Drilling Engineer they'll typically leave you one more year in the field as a DD before the following promotion

Thank, good to know, you would say they are the tops when it comes to MWD/LWD? I want to end up end DW but want to have shale experience as well so thinking of starting on land then going offshore after awhile.
