I went through the oil industry from 10-14 mainly in the Granite Wash which is Texas panhandle and western Oklahoma. There are a lot of people hurting right now. Those parts of the country don't have a lot to offer by way of careers. People did whatever they could to make ends meet and take advantage of the boom. A lot of people moved to the area to work. Unemployment in the area was very low. Plenty of money was made by all involved but it's not a life time career in my opinion. Then again, I got out for a reason.
