I have heard alot of people lately saying that when the elections are over this year work will shut down as far as the gas and oil industry go. I personally dont see it but what do you guys think?

NO WAY The Gas and Oil Industry are pumping Billions into Campaigns in order to get who they want in office. Besides to much money is recently in the works. Noamc Drilling (owned by Chesapeake Energy) just signed a deal with Rowan (owned by LeTourneau) for 100 million to build new rigs Every Drilling contracter in the Country is gearing up for the new Shale Plays

I am involved in a Deal to build 2000 HP rigs for the Haynesville Shale and deliver 2 rigs every 6 months. So, I can tell you it is Very real.

I gotta know somthing, have been welding farm/ ranch since i was about 13, and want to know if the business is going to be getting big enough to support guys like myself that are looking to go to the oil field.  I myself am willing to start at the bottom as a helper and work up to learn the business.  All I want to know is will it be worth the time, effort, and investment to hunt down the entry level job At 35yrs. old I'm tired of ridding everyone elses trader broncs and not making any money.
