But the oil jobs that actually pay well did require more mechanics certifications/experience and that sort of thing I thought? I've thought about a career change of sorts, then again I figure yeah it's good money now, but how long of doing the grunt work till your ate up?

Teaching myself a little plumbing seems like an awful easy job to get paid decent. Now electricity is still scary/devils magic to me.

Oil fields are hiring. Main qualification is you have a pulse.

Massive shortage of welders out there. If you can run a good bead on just about any metal your could write your own paycheck.

Not a whole lot of office jobs though.

Hell, farmers are paying OVER minimum wage and still can't get enough warm bodies to pick their crops.
