    Lots of people probly have that same idea ; ) You ever worked on a drilling rig? It's a dangerous job, magnified by the number of "worms" (oilfield for newby/greenhorn)on the crew, and a wormie driller is the baddest news of all, most especially if you, too, have been rushed in to a derrick job. You might opt for an "other than drill crew" job, but even service crews would have definite pitfalls if they're in-experienced, and driving jobs might be highly competitive.
    I've also seen stories of others who went for cooking or construction jobs, and I think they have pretty much the same problems in finding suitable work, and living quarters. You can likely make it, if you're lucky, and stay on your toes for about ten years, but I'd venture to say it's probably not for the feint hearted
    I'd recommend teaming up with somebody you can trust with your life if you decide to go there
