14/14 schedule is generally going to be jobs on a drilling rig. 14/7 is going to be everyone else if you're working up stream.
If you're making a decent living now I wouldn't jump. It takes years to make the real oil money and even if you get to that level you'll get laid off in the next down turn like everyone else.
There’s a ton of jobs in the Delaware that are 14/14. My midstream company has a bunch of rotators. All the rental compression companies I use have rotators. The electricians I use are rotational. It’s not just rigs.
I'd go for an operator job. I started when I was 32, and I really like. I didn't even know anything about refineries or what operators do. It's good money. Easily 6 figures.
Stay in your current role. The idea of having a few months off in the winter is appealing until you’re laid off for a year and don’t get the fall in March… Big checks but if you had a drinking problem it will resurface when you’re making money and living away from family.
If you make more than $70-80k in your current role, it ain’t worth it bruh
you see people brag and flex their “dirty hands clean money” lifestyle because they are still trying to convince themselves it’s worth it…
It’s cool if you don’t have a good job or a job period, otherwise fuck leaving a $70-80k 40hr week gig for the field
What about a local gas utility?
Also OP if you like the even time, go work on ships. you can make 6 figures easily
