How can i get an entry level job on an off shore oil rig?
Asked by Shawn M
I've been doing construction work for nearly ten years so I'm no stranger to hard work, but I need a change. I think working on n oil rig would be great because of the pay, work to time off ratio, and the scenery changes. I've found one web page that guarantees a job in 90 days, but it has a nearly $200 membership fee. Befor I go spending money like that I thought I would seek advice here. Thanks in advance.

Best Answer:
if you're in the oil patch area, get a job onshore in the business first. learning the job while 150' up in the air [on a platform] isn't something the contractors want -- too risky.

Definitely don't spend the money. You can find the job yourself at any of the major oil companies in the US. --Exxon, BP, etc.
