I'm 46 and have much work experience to offer an employer, Am i too old to work for a oil field company?

Question

in machine repair and maintenance, i'm a very motivated self starter type person with no issues, but will they say i'm to old?

Answer 1

At 46, you should be still retaining your vigor ang stamina good enough for 60 hour work per week ( if not weakened by illness etc). So you are still fit for job at oil fields.
Generally problem lies else where. If you have family & young children you feel to be with them when you are away at oil field .
So, better for you to have contracts with provision for family accomodation at job site if possible , or home travell facility @ 3 month intervals.

Answer 3

May not be. Esp. if your work is not too physically demanding. Ask them and see instead of wondering. Trying and failing is better than failing to try.
