Answer 2

If you are a US citizen, I would suggest to try and get an oilfield job in the US. There's lots of rigs working in all parts of the states right now, and jobs are readily available..

This is a popular link for oilfield jobs worldwide, including the US. Just go to the Company Search to look for companies based out of the US.
