I figured I'd try and network on here, currently working a job in pest control but its definitely not a career. I have experience in logistics, oilfield (rigging, wireline) I was working a great job in logistics for the past two years but it was covid related and that ended in October '22. I'm soon to be 32, not married and no children so I have no family obligations and can work anywhere around the country or internationally for extended periods of time if need be. I have an associates in petroleum engineering technology, I live in South Louisiana, many oilfield jobs but most available now the pay isnt great at all. I just thought I'd network here to see if any of you may know of any job openings, or any places where the economy is bustling. I'm mechanically inclined, have a good head on my shoulders, and willing to put in an honest days work. Thanks guys

....oops...you're agenda is showing...lol.
GE Healthcare has the medical equipment (Biomed) and diagnostic imaging (Radiology) service contract with entire Ochsner Health System. GE has paid apprenticeship program for Biomed techs and you can apply since you have an associates degree.
The apprenticeship program is max 1 year but GE usually hire by the 6 month timeframe into a full-time position. Heck… they might hire you into a full-time position with your work experience… ?
After a few years of Biomed it can lead you into a field service engineer position with GE….. or many other medical equipment / lab / ventilators/ robotics / surgical lasers, etc… manufacturers.
Siemens pays well for their lab chemistry analyzer FSE positions.
Lots of manufacturers hire military folks directly into FSE positions cause they have 4 years of electronics, mechanical and troubleshooting skills on some very high end stuff.
BMET on Reddit has some good info.

I'm in BC Canada, and can tell you there is a huge shortage of truck drivers, equipment operators, mechanics, electricians, plumbers, builders, window installers, farm hands, chefs, and more.
Basically if a person is willing to work, they can be choosy about who they go to work for.
