We tend to agree on most things when we are not talking about politics. Funny how that works.Glenn Quagmire said:

People are making money hand over fist in North Dakota. I bet they have a real use for people that are trained in and understand diesel technology, hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical, and metal working. The truth is with an A&P skill set you could probably EASILY break 6 figures a year there. All it takes is the courage to seek out those opportunities.MCI transplant said:Remember there is life after the Airlines! My son's an AMT ----------, Currently in Washington State!

Additionally, they don't want people that are old and tired with bad attitudes that have broken down bodies.La Li Lu Le Lo said:

I understand what you are saying. North Dakota is not an opportunity everyone can take advantage of. It is an option for some though.DallasConehead said:
You may find that as the generational skills gap gets wider you may have more opportunities than you think... just a theory.

A theory I wouldn't bank on, I interviewed hard with some major energy companies a few years back (after 2010 went down in flames and prior to BK), even had letters of recommendation from solid career players on my way in the door. I showcased my skills and mechanical/electrical aptitude, they said I was qualified after taking their test(s), they would not have me. The only thing I can think of is my age because most of the guys I saw interviewing for the same jobs were a whole lot younger. Guys working on rigs out in the field or offshore face a very demanding challenges in terms of physical demands, family demands, (being on 2 week or 4 week rotations), and on top of that the demands the job itself presents. So, my advice, before you leave and throw your ID at AA, go out and get the job first.La Li Lu Le Lo said:
