I read up on this thread each day as I find it interesting.
Growing up in Midland and seeing an entire town at the mercy of the market, the only thing I knew about oil was that I didn't want anything to do with it. Felt the same way in college at Tech while I was studying to be a Civil Engineer... as I walked by the Petroleum 100 student capacity auditoriums with only 3 or 4 students in class. Sorta been wondering about that decision watching my PE friends the last decade or so.
But, today, as I saw a convoy of 20 or so Trican Well Service tractor trailer's pulling through town at lunch headed north, I remember why I made that choice.
I can live with $2.50 - $3.00 and would choose that over the impact this downturn's gonna have on many folks I know in the industry. Prayers and good luck to y'all.
