I work in the oil fields in North Dakota.

I can change my own oil, but it's way easier to give the drive thru lube 30 bucks and do it on a Saturday morning.

Professionally, I'm a Lead HES Consultant for Marathon Oil Company in North Dakota.

I can't emphasize this enough -- nitwits who go at oil-based primer or poly without a mask to prove how macho they are invariably end up rushing the job.

I want to learn the basics, meet new people, figure out how to pay for my first deal, find professionals and build a strong team, etc.Although I am currently out of work (shout out to the oil & gas industry), I've got 15+ years of residential new construction and remodeling experience, and it seems to me that the combination of unemployed+construction experience+a group of people that deals in real estate might be something to look into.I'm just curious about whether this will seem like an opportunity to other investors?

There are some brass knuckles jobs that will pay more than the average professional job - i.e. the oil field or any manual labor type of job, or even a trade and you will make some descent money as an employee and have minimal expenses to surpass with passive investments.At the end of the day, it is going to depend on your dream.

We are dependent on oil.

Are you concerned that OKC job market seems heavily relying on oil industry?
