Oil Rig Work Apparently Pays MAJOR Bread...

Exactly. We just signed a 5 year deal with BP in Angola and they are doing new exploration all over the world.
It really depends on the relationship you and your woman have. If she can take the away time the money might offset it for you. Remember, you get equal time off. Usually any days over 200 per year will get you a nice bonus.
It just that when you have those 26-28 days off, make the most of them. Take your future kids everywhere with you and spend lots of time with them. You can also use skype for vid calls if the rig connection is fast enough.
It can work, but your relationship needs to strong and your woman needs to have her head on right. If she spends time with bitter broads, they will hate on you when you're gone and you will end up like some of the miserable fucks I work with. I think your wife is African, so she might have a different mindset on you providing in this way. I don't really know your situation.
Gotta go fellas, there is a rum tasting event going on downstairs and my woman wants to go. That is another perk of working offshore, my vacations are a lot better now that we have some extra $

I worked a hitch in the north sea/Norwegian waters and if you don't like the cold, forget about it. I like it cold, so it doesn't bother me, but then again, I was there in late September/early October before the real cold go there.
On the plus side, Norway was cool, and if you like Becky's that's the place to go to get you a 6 foot blonde Nordic amazon.
One of my ex's father works on a rig... he lives in bastrop LA. When I was down there before we split, he was on his way out to the coast to catch his helicopter ride out unto the rig. The guy got two houses, a helicopter, hovorcraft, and a Range. She constantly reminded me that "she don't need no nigga" believe that.
I would do his job... hell, I'm working 14 hours now on two damn jobs making under 50K. I've been homeless and dead broke before, i'm talking stomach shrinkage from the lack of food and cotton mouthed broke... I'd try to lift a damn entire 200lb pump over my head if I had too. I'd live on that rig 365 days without one complaint.

If you're black go to West Africa especially Nigeria. I got a friend who works for Royal Dutch Shell who says they don't send white people there anymore, too many threats of being kidnapped.
Thanks for this, you just don't know. If ya'll don't see me posting for a while, you know why.
Yeah, cause at the airport the used ti have a sign posted saying what a driller, foreman, company man etc was worth.

Thanks Bruh for trying to get these guys educated on employment opportunities outside CONUS. Hard work and sacrificing build character.Love showing cats the places I've been, and the fun I had. Have you ever been to Seychelles?

As they do, but from what he told me Shell prefers people who can blend in.
I have a B.A in Advertising and most of my experience is in customer service and some sales in a call center setting. What (if any) opportunities would be availible for me in this field that would not require any additional schooling?
This is all I need to know b/c I swear, although I have NO experience w/this sorta thing, I'd be all for it.
My aunts husband is a hard core ex felon working in the gulf, nicca makes $42 an hour offshore
to all you guys queried bout not having experience, go to halliburton or schlumberger; they LOVE training folks to their way, i.e. "growing their own."
my nephew started with halliburton 16 months ago in west Texas doing frac work...dude making $72k already. the work is hard & the hours are long but he gets a per diem. 14 days on, 7 off, i think.

big blue got that long paper. hell some guy think u be slaving all day for 12 to 22 hours. ssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttt.
I will blend in perfect with my deep ass american accent
This is based off who you know or what what you know... so if you don't have either chances are slim... don't let the big money fool you
not a fan of the oil industry but im a big fan of brothas putting others on to opportunities.
my cousin just got laid off from a hr management position in Houston. wonder if he has considered one of these positions. frail ass ninja is prolly too weak though.
why this board doesnt have job, education and travel sections is beyond me.

Schlumberger, Halliburton, M I Swaco and them Fugro survey fucks don't do shit all day!!
people say that rov is lazy, but we at least do a few hours of maintenance everyday. Some of these survey and tooling fuckers expect us to install their shit for them.
Every fucking time I'm flying to a target, I have to remind the lazy fucks to turn on my tracking cause they are on the bridge watching a damn movie.
I'm happy working half a year. Benefits and good pay is what makes me happy. Yeah it would probably be cool to coach some niggas to do lay ups but that don't bring the kind of money I want to live how I live.
Hey man you telling to damn much homey. Shhhhhh man I can't let niggas know about my secret .
Yeah most of the schools are in the South for us dumb Bama's. When I got my process degree I paid less than 2,400 for it. My 1st pay check could of paid for my degree.
No I don't work offshore. I work in a process facility. I go to work walk in work and go home after my shift. My schedule goes like this.
NNNNOOO
DDDONNN
OOODDDD
