Yeah I can't really speak to what southern oil drilling's like but up here that shit is competitive and nepotistic. If you want to make those fat stacks in just a few weeks on the slope, you need to know people in the business to help you get your foot in the door since s lot of the mining up here's switched from expansive drilling to a slowed ecologically preserving drilling (however that makes sense) meaning more of the jobs are geared towards maintenance instead of expansion.
