Oilfield. No experience won't get you any of the goods jobs, but after a year or so you can switch jobs. Getting on a rotation schedule you'll be home 1/2 the days year (vs. 30% with 40 hour work week). The sky is the limit as far as pay and opportunities though. You make about $50K the first year, $50-100K the second depending upon the job.

I would not try to get on with a rig company though, only young guys in their 20s start there because it's physically pretty hard on your body for a few years. I'd look to get on with a service company (mudlogging, gyro. shot hand, or MWD).
