1/18/2010 - I'm an avid Petroleum News reader and just visited the site of your newest publication, the Greening of Oil. I was thrilled to learn you'll be telling the tale of folks who work in the energy industry in the $70,000-plus a year section.

I transitioned from school teacher to North Slope worker in 2003. While working towards that career change I was desperate for details about folks who worked in Alaska's oil industry, but good info was practically nonexistent. It still is.

A few years back I took matters into my own hands and created www.AlaskaPipelineJobInfo.com where I do my best to provide timely information about current job opportunities and the ins & outs of finding work on the slope.

Your career stories will be a wonderful and much needed source of information for a multitude of employee hopefuls. I look forward to reading about others who found opportunity awaiting them in the energy sector.

Best of luck on your new venture,
