Career choices and best way to start myself off

Or a helicopter pilot. Big demand in the oil business.
Helicopter pilot or mechanic off shore pays well, especially overseas. BUT, when gas /oil prices are low like they are now, jobs follow. I went from making 6 figures to half of that. still good but oil is a cycle, never a level constant. just have to know it goes boom to bust. But still would not trade it for anything, love the work you do and it is not work.
