re: What is the Louisiana job market like?

Oil always comes back

I have friends in finance, banking, insurance, accounting, construction, sales(not oil related), healthcare, IT, and several other industries that make very good money in Lafayette.

Methville......I know people from Lafayette will say otherwise and that they have "diversified" but that town's economy really does rise and set with the oil industry. If for some reason you go here get in with an oil services firm, if they lay you off due to market conditions.....have a plan B you can move to fast because after you have worked in that industry, there, other types will not hire you for any type of pay close to what you were making.....if at all
