re: Working as a landman

Are you asking about being a lease broker / abstractor in the field / courthouse or working as a landman at an E&P company? They are similar yet very different jobs. One requires travel, handshakes, and a sometimes unsteady project load and the other requires a lot of PowerPoint and Excel skills along with an inordinate amount of internal politics savvy. ??

If I start working as a "field" landman right out of college, assuming the oil and gas industry isn't doing crummy, I will be making more than most people do when they graduate. I don't want to spend my life driving around South or West Texas (or Appalachia) so eventually I would like to go "in-house" if I am able to find a job in non-West Texas/Louisiana. It might be easier to go"in-house" if I work as a lease/title analyst but I won't make as much at I would being a field landman.
Realistically I might spend 5 years in the field then become an analyst if I can't switch over to in-house right away.
Of course, in the next 2 years the oil and gas industry could be nationalized for all I know.
