text: You would probably want to start as a Geo-phone Placement Engineer. For starters you would be uncoiling cable from a truck or other equipment and stomping geophones into the ground. (nick name for position is Juggie)\n\nThe operator fires up the motor and sends a vibration into the earth to detect possible oil.\n\nYour duties may take you away from home for a week or more - 4 weeks on one week off - but the pay is to die for.\n\nSimply call up Shell Oil or other oil company and ask them if they have any positions open for a Geophone Placement Engineer, and where you would apply.\n\nWARNING: The crew you work with may well have a few jerks on hand. if you can deal with them - its almost like a cowboy on the prairie type of feel to it.
