  1. I've always done Mich, and that's currently what's on the wife's car right now, but my Tahoe came with Bridgestone H/L Alenza Plus and I have to say I am pretty impressed with them. The ride is excellent and there's a lot less road noise than even my wife's car (with the Mich tires) but that might be also partially attributed to the car itself. When these wear out I'll probably go back to Michelin, but I will definitely have to think about it harder than I have previously. They are priced about $9 more than comparable Michelins, so price is a wash.
  2. For both you and @Nivek - Depending on what you want to do (this holds especially true for field work) a face to face meeting will trump any sort of electronic or phone contact you can make. I know guys who will put on their nice jeans and boots (dress for your audience here - if you're in midland put the boots on, if you're at corporate in Houston then put on a suit) and beat down people's doors resume in hand until they got a job. The adage of "it's not what you know, but who you know" is relevant in the oil field probably more so than anywhere else I have ever seen. Every guy you know that's a dumbass making good cash had a connection. Every single one. If you don't have one, then get to steppin' until you get in front of someone who can help you. Additionally, the pay for the guys in the field is high because of 1. the risks involved with many of the jobs, 2. the hours and work schedules involved and 3. those guys are the first ones gone during down turns. If you're near a major city like Houston, an office job will be less hours, probably slightly less pay, but you'll be making more money (especially in a commercial function if you can get it) than others you know at your age/work the same hours as you. If you have an opportunity to "do something boring" it might be a good way to get your foot in the door as you seem to realize. But like I said, meeting with someone face to face will go a long, long way in my experience
  3. Pretty clear you're a troll now. At least I hope nobody is actually this stupid.

    Absolutely, and I generally do for whatever ones I can, but there's usually a couple I have to wait on.

  6. Amazing anyone still defends coach milk dud head. Nice guy, but damn was he out of his depth from day one.
  7. He can read it, but there's a less than 0% chance he will comprehend it, and even if he does there won't be a cogent response. Just more of "you obvi totes don't get socialism man"
