I have worked in the oil rig business for 30 years so I am not about to give you some Bulls**t about how easy it is! It has never been a better time as the industry needs people, but that is not anyone, that means people useful and useable skills.
The bottom line is that it is not as easy as some oil-rig-employment and shipping sites would have you believe, that you can simply just walk onto an offshore installation into a new job.
