Career Transition Resources
According to our membership surveys, the average landman doesn’t enter the field until 29 years old. The sooner you start your energy career and AAPL membership, the larger the head start you will have on your fellow land professionals!
There are various types of landmen ranging from in-house (company) landmen to independent field landmen and independent land consultants. Learn more about the different types of landmen to see which one suits you best.
You may be closer to a landman career than you think.
For years you’ve been told that you need to have a degree in your chosen field. But the reality is that many careers didn’t even exist five or ten years ago. Our own surveys indicate that only 25% of Landmen have degrees specifically in Energy Land Management. Chances are, many of the skills you have are relevant and transferrable to our industry. And with the programs and networking opportunities offered by AAPL, your transition to an exciting and rewarding career as a Landman may be easier and quicker than you think.
